Forklift and powered industrial truck incidents continue to be one of the most persistent safety challenges in today’s manufacturing, warehousing, and logistics environments. As operations grow more connected and fast-paced, AI-powered collision avoidance and analytics technologies are helping predict and prevent the next serious event.
In this Executive Q&A, Jackson Phillips, Account Manager at Matrix Design Group, will unpack how these innovations are reshaping safety strategies, reducing human error, and transforming the role of data in day-to-day decision-making.
Attendees will gain practical insights into how AI-driven systems detect and analyze near misses, strengthen zoning and geofencing protocols, and provide measurable improvements in operational efficiency. Jackson will also discuss what effective implementation looks like, how to quantify success, and how collaboration across the supply chain can accelerate progress toward safer, smarter worksites.
