…in integrated operator systems, including sensors and safety systems, telematics and operator-assist technologies like automatic braking and speed control. The third revolves around driverless or automated forklifts. Steven LaFevers: “There’s an evolution, when we started to invest in telematics, companies wanted to monitor and understand damage. Now, with LIDAR and sensors to avoid damage, the trend we’re seeing is a shift from monitor to prevent. They want to avoid things that can hurt staff or production.” As fleet expenses and waste came into sharper focus, a heavier burden was placed on operators in terms of productivity and power management. Consider…

…mature. One reason, says John Rosenberger, director of global telematics for The Raymond Corp., is that some earlier variants of automated lift trucks required guidance infrastructure such as reflectors or tags embedded in the floor. Such installations go against the grain of the as-a-service concept, he adds. “With an ‘as a service’ model, or a subscription model, it implies that you can pay for a service and easily turn it on, or turn it off, at will,” says Rosenberger. “If you’re going to put automation under that model, you have to somehow either fund any infrastructure change needed upfront or…
