Telematics for Material Handling Equipment

Telematic technology allows you to manage your forklift fleet more effectively and enhance the material handling process at your facility. These systems collect vital forklift data, which goes to a central server for storage and interpretation. Telematics insights allow for planned maintenance and operational improvements.

At Holt of California, we take all aspects of forklift operation seriously. That’s why we offer several industry-leading telematics products to optimize your fleet’s performance.

Benefits of Telematics for Forklifts

Telematic technology enables your forklift fleet to run as effectively and efficiently as possible. Through wireless connectivity, GPS technology and telemetry, telematics systems for heavy equipment offer significant benefits for materials handling operators, supervisors and managers. Besides tracking location, telematics systems can alert when a machine needs maintenance, determine when workers access heavy equipment and monitor an operator’s driving behavior.

Using cameras with telematics can also prevent lift damage, increase work productivity, alleviate operator fatigue and stress, reduce training time for new drivers, and increase work area safety by improving compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines.

Our Forklift Telematics Solutions

Holt of California offers various telematics solutions from trusted manufacturers to upgrade your fleet.

GemOne Sapphire V2

Sapphire represents the next generation of telematics systems for forklifts and other heavy material handling equipment. The V2 system offers exceptional flexibility on a functional mobile platform to capitalize on data and reporting features.

Benefits of the Sapphire system include:

• Tracking and tracing: A 7-inch color touchscreen shows GPS location and indoor positioning, giving you a convenient reference to determine where forklifts are throughout your facility.
• Operation and efficiency: The system provides usage reports, operator messaging, user management and fleet information. These features give you access to the tools you need to improve efficiency.
• Security and safety: Impact alerts and automatic lockouts are in place in case of collisions. Other safety features include driver behavior analysis, cameras, access control, strobes and buzzers, speed limiters, overload detection, license management, impact avoidance and an on-screen safety checklist before you start the machine.
• Service and maintenance: Service management, a battery monitoring system, and error codes alert operators and managers of required attention, allowing you to stay on top of fleet maintenance.

GemOne Camera Kits

GEM camera units work seamlessly with the Sapphire V2 interface. The cameras are easy to install without welding because they use a secure magnetic base. You can even reposition them as needed to add flexibility. They come in three varieties:

• Mast cameras: You can mount these cameras as needed to overview the work area with excellent picture and low-light performance. They provide the operator with fork depth and a clear view over or around the side of the load on the driver’s blindside.
• Rear cameras: These cameras provide an overview of the work area and are especially useful when backing into tight quarters. They cover the blind spot directly behind the truck. The camera offers an excellent picture in low light.
• Forkview cameras: Install cameras on the carriage to assist with viewing the fork tips. Forkview cameras are ideal for high-lift height applications or double-deep racking.

Cameras work with power-up, motion detection and manual modes while operating on a 48-hour loop. They allow you to reduce blind spots on all sides of your forklifts. Cameras enable you to work faster, reduce damage, increase worker safety and shorten training time for new drivers.
