Forklift Driving Enabled with Employee Badge – Track Vehicle Usage – Confirm Safety

October 18, 2021

A manufacturing company was having trouble accurately understanding who was operating forklifts on-site. Forklift operators had Bluetooth Beacons that were detected and authenticated by their on-board Android application to register usage and task completion.  Operators would leave the beacon on the forklift and enable anyone to drive without proper approval and management.

This made it impossible for the company to understand which employee was responsible for the forklift and how effective they were at completing tasks.

We are a multinational agrochemical company using Scanfob® brand UHF scanners to accurately track plant growth for research. Without the Scanfob® UHF scanner, accurately tracking over 200,000 RFID tags in 7 weeks would be impossible.

Researching how to get my DISTO E7500i to connect with my iPhone and all roads lead to Serialio.com. SerialMagic Keys for iOS connects my DISTO E7500i to iOS, allowing me to post-laser distance measurements directly into Excel, on my iPad and iPhone. SerialMagic Keys also posts measurements to all apps, not just Excel.

I found the Scanfob® 3002i 2D barcode scanner to be better, faster, more flexible and more conveniently sized than the TEEMI TMSL-50. Since the TMSL-50 was unusable for our application, it was well worth the price difference.
