Logistics & warehousing · Warehousing

Forklifts and people, kept apart on the cameras you have.

Forklift/person proximity, dock utilization, aisle safety, plus congestion and yard visibility analytics on the cameras already covering your sheds.

In warehousing

What goes wrong today.

  • Forklift near-misses never make the report

    The incidents you record are a fraction of the conflicts that happen. The pattern stays invisible until someone is hurt.

  • Blocked exits are found at audit time

    Egress routes and aisles drift blocked during every peak, discovered by inspectors, not by your team.

  • Ops metrics come from clipboards

    Dock dwell, door utilization, and congestion are measured by walking the floor: sampled, stale, and disputed.

What the cameras watch for.

Runs against your existing VMS across DCs: one FloFrame appliance per ~12 cameras, live in days.

    Demo footage, annotated the way FloFrame does. Each card appears as its alert is raised.

    • Forklift–pedestrian proximity

      The highest-severity warehouse risk, watched continuously.

    • Blocked exits & aisles

      Egress and aisle discipline enforced automatically.

    • Dock utilization

      Dwell time and door utilization measured from existing cameras.

    • Congestion heatmaps

      Find the choke points slowing your shifts.

    • After-hours intrusion

      Perimeter and interior security when the site sleeps.

    • Yard visibility

      Trailer, gate, and yard state without a yard walk.

    Rules

    Rules you would run.

    Written in plain words, run on site, checked by a vision model before anyone is alerted.

    1. Forklift proximity

      “No pedestrian within 3 m of a moving forklift”

      Then: SUPERVISOR PAGED · CLIP SEALED ✓

      Open in the Rule Playground
    2. Blocked exits

      “Emergency exits and aisles stay clear at all times”

      Then: SHIFT LEAD NOTIFIED · AUTO-CLEARED ✓

      Open in the Rule Playground
    3. Dock dwell

      “Flag trailers at a bay for more than 45 minutes”

      Then: DOCK BOARD UPDATED · TREND LOGGED

      Open in the Rule Playground

    Measure · Step 2 of 4

    Every alert becomes a number you manage.

    What FloFusion measures for Warehousing, per zone, per site and over time.

    • Dock and bay use

      How long each dock is occupied, by shift, against the slots you booked.

    • Dwell at bays

      How long trucks, pallets and people stay, and which bays run over.

    • Near misses per 100 hours

      People and forklifts too close, per hour watched, trending week on week.

    The rules that apply to Warehousing, scored continuously from camera evidence, with a signed record anyone can verify.

    • EU AI Act

      AI used for workplace monitoring and safety is high-risk: you must run risk management, keep event logs, maintain technical documentation, and guarantee human oversight and accuracy monitoring.

    • EU OSH Framework Directive

      Employers carry a general duty to prevent occupational risks and demonstrate systematic prevention measures.

    • UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018

      Video of identifiable people is personal data: you need a lawful basis, transparency, data minimisation and retention limits, and a DPIA before systematic monitoring of staff.

    • ICO guidance on monitoring workers

      Monitoring must be necessary, proportionate and open: tell workers what you monitor and why, consult them, choose the least intrusive means, and avoid covert monitoring.

    Improve · Step 4 of 4

    What to change next.

    The process map shows where the floor loses time and where people and vehicles meet.

    1. Re-time the dock slots

      Spread arrivals off the peak the map shows, so bays stop queuing at shift change.

    2. Separate the pedestrian route at bay 2

      Move the walkway away from the forklift lane where near misses cluster.

    Examples of what a pilot’s process map points to.

    Getting started

    A pilot on the cameras you own.

    Prove detection quality and evidence-grade reporting in one facility, on your existing cameras: no model training, no rip-and-replace, live in days.

    Scope

    • Forklift–pedestrian conflict points in aisles and crossings
    • Dock doors and staging for utilization and turnaround
    • Fire exits and emergency egress routes
    • Perimeter and after-hours exception zones

    We configure

    • Your safety policies written as plain-English rules, no per-site model tuning
    • FloFrame on-prem inference, so video never leaves your facility
    • AI explanations that narrate each event in your own policy language
    • Alert routing to shift leads and safety managers, with audit-ready reporting in FloFusion

    You walk away with

    • Measurable reduction in proximity conflicts and blocked-exit incidents
    • AI Copilot for labor efficiency, congestion analytics, and yard visibility
    • Compliance evidence for EU AI Act, Saudi PDPL residency, and brand ESG audits

    Questions

    Warehousing: common questions.

    How is this different from the alerting tools we already get pitched?

    Most tools stop at the alert. Camnitive detects forklift near-misses, blocked exits and dock exceptions, measures them, scores them against your packs and seals them as evidence. Then it shows what to change next.

    Link to this question

    Do we need to replace our cameras or install new hardware everywhere?

    No. FloFrame works with the RTSP and ONVIF cameras you already own, mixed brands included. Each site adds one FloFrame box with an NVIDIA GPU.

    Link to this question

    How long does deployment take, and do you need to train models on our footage?

    A pilot of 10–50 cameras usually goes live in days. People, forklifts, PPE, spills and blocked exits are standard detections, so there is no training on your footage.

    Link to this question

    Where does our video and event data live?

    On your sites. FloFrame processes video where it is recorded; only alerts, chosen evidence and measurements leave. FloFusion is hosted by Camnitive, or deployed privately in your own cloud or data centre.

    Link to this question

    Which warehouse use cases do customers start with?

    Forklift and pedestrian proximity, blocked exits and aisle safety to detect; dock dwell and congestion to measure. Packs score the safety side, and the trends point to the layout or shift change worth making.

    Link to this question

    Can we standardize policies across multiple facilities?

    Yes. FloFusion policies are versioned and roll out to a pilot site first, then the network, with zones adjusted per layout. Every site reports against the same standard.

    Link to this question

    How does this play with 3PL clients and insurers?

    Scores and sealed evidence per site, shift and zone become proof of duty of care. Share scores with a client by consent, or give an insurer a link to the signed record.

    Link to this question

    What happens if a site loses its internet connection?

    Detection, rules and outputs on site keep running. Alerts wait on the device and go up when the link returns, over outbound HTTPS on port 443.
