In an aim to decrease the risk
of traffic related accidents in
the workplace, Toyota
Material Handling has
introduced a new solution for
warehouse safety with
SpotMe, a warehouse
warning system. It’s designed
to protect operators and
pedestrians in warehouses,
goods being transported, as
well as significantly
decreasing damage to trucks
and infrastructure.

SpotMe is built with infrared
director sensitive sensors
which detect the presence of
forklifts and pedestrians at
crossroads and alerts them.

Whenever a potential impact
danger is spotted a warning
unit starts to flash which
helps to considerably reduce
the danger of collision.

This accident prevention
system is said to be userfriendly,
easy to fix on the
walls, with no set-up on fleet
required and low
maintenance needs. The
warning unit can be either
connected to a standalone
battery or plugged into the
mains.

Toyota SpotMe was
developed to reduce the risk
of accidents in warehouses
where pedestrians and
equipment interact. It also
contributes to smoother
traffic flow and as a
consequence, the forklift
drivers use less panic brakes,
which helps to better
preserve the forklifts during
operations.
