Overview

Operating a high-demand warehouse environment brings unique challenges: ensuring OSHA compliance, maintaining operational flow, and optimizing asset use. With warehouse and manufacturing plant injury rates at 4.8 incidents per 100 full-time workers and unauthorized access increasing accident risks by up to 40%, safety isn’t optional—it’s essential. For Cardinal Glass’s expanding operations, achieving compliance while minimizing risks was crucial for sustainable growth.

Whether managing a single facility or multiple sites, Powerfleet will help you enhance safety and efficiency while reducing liability and costs.

Experience Real Results with Powerfleet

Pedestrian Safety in High-Density Environments

Problem: Close interaction between pedestrians and heavy equipment poses critical safety risks, with warehouse injury rates at 4.8 incidents per 100 full-time workers. Your high-traffic areas require constant vigilance to prevent accidents and maintain OSHA compliance.

Solution: Powerfleet’s AI-powered Pedestrian Proximity Detection system works in conjunction with our Forklift Gateway and Speed Manager solutions to:

  • Provide real-time driver notifications of potential hazards
  • Identify and monitor caution and danger alert zones
  • Capture detailed event data, including breach location, time, and driver ID
  • Automatically slow forklifts when alert zones are breached
  • Track and analyze near-miss incidents for proactive safety management

OSHA Compliance and Risk Management

Problem: Meeting OSHA compliance requirements is crucial, but lengthy or disorganized processes can hinder adherence. Manual compliance tracking increases the risk of violations and associated fines by up to 50%.

Solution: Powerfleet streamlines and automates compliance workflows through:

  • Digital safety checklists and automated reporting
  • Access control based on operator certification
  • Real-time monitoring of safety metrics
  • Comprehensive incident documentation
  • Automated compliance verification and reporting

Labor Challenges and Efficiency Strain

Problem: Skilled labor shortages in the supply chain put pressure on your resources, forcing you to rely on less experienced workers to meet business goals. Labor accounting for 50-70% of warehouse budgets increases safety risks, impacts productivity, and affects overall business health.

Solution: Powerfleet’s Unity platform delivers real-time data and insights to optimize workplace safety, improve efficiency, and increase productivity. Our system enables you to:

  • Manage equipment access based on driver certification and identification
    Track vehicle usage patterns and identify workflow bottlenecks
    Generate automated efficiency reports and analytics
    Monitor operator behavior and provide targeted training

By optimizing safety and utilization levels, you’re better positioned to attract and retain quality employees while maximizing operational efficiency.

Maintenance and Equipment Reliability

Problem: Unplanned equipment downtime leads to operational delays, increased costs, and risks to your company’s reputation. Manual maintenance tracking across multiple sites and OEMs creates inefficiencies and increases the likelihood of missed service intervals.

Solution: Powerfleet equips you with a proactive and preventive maintenance approach that:

  • Leverages real-time usage hours and predictive analytics
  • Monitors key metrics like battery health and engine hours
  • Identifies potential maintenance issues before they cause breakdowns
  • Ensures optimal service scheduling across your fleet
  • Extends equipment lifecycle and maximizes uptime

Mixed Fleet of Various OEMs

Problem: It’s common to have a mixed fleet of powered industrial vehicles across various OEMs. However, manually gathering, monitoring, and interpreting data from multiple systems results in incomplete insights, biased decisions, and operational inefficiencies.

Solution: Powerfleet’s OEM-agnostic platform, Unity, does the heavy lifting for you by:

  • Ingesting data from all your disconnected data sources, including IoT devices, sensors, OEMs, and business systems
  • Transforming the collected data into actionable insights
  • Enabling you to make more informed decisions based on comprehensive data analysis
  • Providing the confidence to expand your fleet in a way that benefits your operation
  • Offering a unified view of your entire fleet, regardless of the mix of equipment brands and models

Manual Data Processes

Problem: Manual data collection and reporting across multiple Cardinal Glass facilities creates inconsistencies and delays in decision-making. This fragmented approach leads to missed opportunities for optimization and makes it difficult to implement standardized best practices across locations.

Solution: Powerfleet’s data-agnostic Unity platform centralizes and automates data management across all your facilities by:

  • Consolidating data from all warehouse operations into a single dashboard
  • Automating report generation for compliance and performance metrics
  • Standardizing KPIs across all Cardinal Glass locations
  • Enabling real-time comparison of facility performance
  • Facilitating the sharing of best practices between locations
