New solution combines ultra-wideband (UWB) proximity detection and AI-powered, tagless vision technology to prevent collisions in high-risk industrial environmentsATLANTA – June 3, 2025 – ELOKON, a leading provider of safety and assistance systems for material handling and intralogistics, today launched ELOshieldAI, an advanced, AI-powered safety solution that delivers dual-layered, comprehensive protection for industrial workplaces. By integrating artificial intelligence (AI)-driven, tagless vision detection with the proven UWB-based ELOshield proximity system, ELOKON sets a new standard for workplace safety in warehouses, manufacturing plants and logistics hubs.ELOshieldAI combines AI-camera technology powered by highly precise pedestrian detection algorithms with UWB proximity sensors. This intelligent sensor fusion enables real-time detection and analysis of pedestrian and vehicle behavior, even in cluttered, complex, or low-visibility environments. ELOshieldAI empowers customers with flexible safety options: they can rely on on-body pedestrian alerting for workers equipped with ELOshield badges, tagless pedestrian detection from the forklift using AI cameras, or a combination of both. These options enhance the overall failsafe performance of proximity detection systems.“UWB delivers the precision needed to prevent vehicle collisions and enables intelligent features like speed zoning, while AI lets us identify and analyze pedestrian behavior in real time,” said Alex Glasmacher, CEO of ELOKON. “With ELOshieldAI, customers can choose the safety configuration that fits their environment—whether that’s badge-based alerts, tagless detection, or both.”Dual-Layered Safety: Precision and IntelligenceELOshieldAI introduces several key advancements: AI-enhanced pedestrian detection: AI cameras use advanced algorithms to identify human forms and movements with high accuracy, reducing false alarms and increasing responsiveness. Entity classification & contextual awareness: The system distinguishes between pedestrians, vehicles, and stationary obstacles to prioritize critical warnings. Sensor fusion for reliability: UWB provides centimeter-accurate proximity data, while AI visually confirms human presence, enabling cross-validated alerts and interventions. Truck-to-truck collision avoidance and speed zoning: The combination of UWB and AI ensures precise detection of vehicles and supports intelligent safety automation such as automatic speed reduction in defined zones and collision prevention between forklifts, automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs).Enhanced Features Powered by UWB Truck-to-truck detection: Vehicles equipped with UWB modules detect each other via direct wireless communication, eliminating false alarms from static objects and improving inter-vehicle awareness. Dynamic zone monitoring: UWB ensures accurate detection of trucks entering or exiting predefined safety zones, such as pedestrian walkways or intersections, and enables automated alerts or slowdowns.ELOshieldAI is compatible with a wide range of forklift models and can be easily retrofitted onto existing fleets. The system is fully customizable to meet the specific operational needs of each facility.“By merging UWB precision with artificial intelligence, ELOshieldAI delivers a fail-safe, layered approach to safety,” Glasmacher added. “It’s a powerful example of how smart technology can protect people and equipment in real industrial settings.”About ELOKONELOKON is an international provider of forklift telematics and safety solutions that enhance safety, efficiency, and productivity in intralogistics operations.

They supply systems worldwide and in virtually every major manufacturing and distribution sector. Both Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are computer-controlled wheel-based load carriers (normally battery-powered) that run on a plant or warehouse floor (or, if outdoors, on a paved surface). The main difference between AGVs and AMRs is how the path they follow is determined: (1) Most AGVs follow predefined paths, although there may be areas of the plant or warehouse where they have more freedom. (2)AMRs can determine their own path, although they will attempt to follow suggested paths if they exist. This difference leads to differing methodologies for ensuring safe operation for the two types of vehicles: AGVs follow the ANSI B56.5 Safety Guidelines and there is a standard under development for AMRs.About TRG The Robotics Group (TRG) are leading manufacturers, integrators, consultants, and component suppliers of robotic solutions designed specifically for warehousing and distribution applications.Traditionally, industrial robots in material handling applications have been limited to palletizing/depalletizing, conveyor picking, or other highly repetitive tasks. Technology advancements are creating opportunities for robots and automated machinery in a wider variety of applications, including warehousing and distribution center activities.TRG conducts education and outreach with the goal of fostering technology adoption in this rapidly changing industry sector.About MHI MHI is an international trade association that has represented the material handling, logistics and supply chain industry since 1945.

An Automatic Guided Vehicle System, or AGVS consists of one or more computer controlled wheel based load carriers (normally battery powered) that runs on the plant floor (or if outdoors on a paved area) without the need for an onboard operator or driver. AGVs have defined paths or areas within which or over which they can navigate. Navigation is achieved by any one of several means, including following a path defined by buried inductive wires, surface mounted magnetic or optical strips; or alternatively by way of inertial or laser guidance. See also SGV , Self Guided Vehicle , Unit Load AGV , and/or Tugger AGV .

Transbotics engineers designed a Laser-Guided Tugger vehicle to move cart-trains weighing up to 65,000 pounds of palletized glass for a major client in the North American food and beverage industry. These automated guided vehicles (AGVs) carefully move and stop while fully loaded with palletized glass, preventing tower pallets from toppling over. They are programmed to work side by side with automatic train loading machinery and conveyor systems. Transbotics technicians integrated the AGV system seamlessly into the existing automated process.

An Automatic Guided Vehicle (AGV) system, consisting of four electric lift decks and six electric fork outrigger AGVs, updated an existing Blank Handling AGV system tailored to meet the material handling needs at a major automotive manufacturing plant.
