Overview

Assist Expert is an intermediate-level package that allows individual and group-based vehicle operation and tracking, focused on the driving safety of industrial vehicles such as forklifts.

Assist Expert is an ideal product for safety monitoring in closed areas such as warehouses, transfer centers, and factories, where fleet operation is present, and the operation of vehicles affects each other.

Effective Usage Area

Assist Expert is an ideal product for security surveillance of transportation and stacking operations carried out at speeds of up to 20 km/h in closed areas such as warehouses, depots, transfer centers and factories where the operation of the vehicles is fleet-based and where the operation of the vehicles affects each other.

With a minimum of 6 industrial type ultrasonic sensors placed in front and behind the vehicle on which it is installed, it detects obstacles and risks up to 8 meters away while driving at maximum operating speed (20 km/h) and controls the speed of the industrial vehicle on which it is installed under strict conditions.

Running Scenario

Assist Expert can activate or deactivate the Assist feature on its web-based user-friendly interface. Similarly, the Assist feature can be activated or deactivated with the button on the control module. Information such as the vehicle's operating time and the logs of the situations in which the Assist feature was active during the operating time can be accessed from the interface. With the "Create a fleet" option on the interface, all vehicles with Assist installed can be grouped under one group and the operating status, performance and reporting of these vehicles can be monitored and reports can be received in a single window. The Assist on each vehicle can be configured under different conditions depending on its own duties and areas of responsibility.

In certain areas of the pedestrian path and pedestrian crossing areas where industrial vehicles using Assist Expert operate, automatic slowing down of the vehicle, without the driver's initiative, can be done on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis via the Assist interface. When the defined pedestrian path or pedestrian crossing areas are approached, the maximum speed of the vehicle set in the interface for those areas becomes active and the vehicle does not exceed the set speed limit in that area even if the driver presses the gas pedal.

In the field where industrial vehicles using Assist Expert operate, safety zones are created via the Assist interface in front of or around the ends of elevators, automatic doors, and conveyors. In these areas, the maximum speed set for the vehicle with Assist installed is activated, and even if the driver presses the gas pedal, the vehicle does not exceed the set speed limit in that area. In this way, the possibility of collision, bumping, and touching in operation areas where the work is quite complex is also reduced to a minimum.

The Assist Expert module communicates with the interface via Wi-Fi. It communicates with additional equipment placed in the field via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth for the detection of pedestrian paths, pedestrian crossings, elevators, automatic doors and conveyor end zones. Therefore, the device must have access to an active internet connection in the field for the use of the interface. Even without interface communication, Assist successfully performs its tasks on the vehicle. An active, non-continuous internet connection is required for the transfer of configurations such as zone definition, speed limitation and board assignment performed on the interface to the module.
