ELOKON, a leading provider of safety and assistance systems for material handling and intralogistics, has officially announced the launch of ELOshieldAI, which happens to be an advanced, AI-powered safety solution, capable of delivering dual-layered, comprehensive protection for industrial workplaces.
According to certain reports, the stated solution effectively integrates artificial intelligence (AI)-driven, tagless vision detection with the proven UWB-based ELOshield proximity system to set a new standard for workplace safety in warehouses, manufacturing plants, and logistics hubs.
More on the same would reveal how ELOshieldAI combines AI-camera technology, powered by highly precise pedestrian detection algorithms, with UWB proximity sensors, thus reaching upon an intelligent sensor fusion which enables real-time detection and analysis of pedestrian and vehicle behavior. This it can manage even in the most cluttered, complex, or low-visibility environments.
Anyway, beyond that, we ought to mention how ELOshieldAI brings to fore an assortment of flexible safety options that, on their part, facilitate on-body pedestrian alerting for workers equipped with ELOshield badges, tagless pedestrian detection from the forklift using AI cameras, or a combination of both. All in all, these options should come in handy to enhance the overall failsafe performance of proximity detection systems.
“By merging UWB precision with artificial intelligence, ELOshieldAI delivers a fail-safe, layered approach to safety,” said. Alex Glasmacher, CEO of ELOKON. “It’s a powerful example of how smart technology can protect people and equipment in real industrial settings.”
Talk about the whole value proposition on a slightly deeper, we begin from its knack of providing AI-enhanced pedestrian detection. This translates to how the solution leverages AI cameras to effectively identify human forms and movements with high accuracy, conversely reducing false alarms and increasing responsiveness.
Next up, users can come expecting to achieve entity classification & contextual awareness. Basically, the system in question is designed in such a manner that it can differentiate between pedestrians, vehicles, and stationary obstacles to prioritize critical warnings.
Another detail worth a mention is rooted in availability of sensor fusion for reliability. To expand upon that, ELEKON’s latest brainchild can provide you with centimeter-accurate proximity data, whereas on the other hand, having AI in the mix visually confirms human presence to enable cross-validated alerts and interventions.
Beyond that, the technology also features a facility dedicated to truck-to-truck collision avoidance and speed zoning. You see, the combination of UWB and AI treads up a long distance to ensure precise detection of vehicles, and therefore, support intelligent safety automation, such as automatic speed reduction in defined zones and collision prevention between forklifts, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs).
Almost like an extension of it, vehicles bearing UWB modules can also detect each other via direct wireless communication so to do way with false alarms from static objects and scale up inter-vehicle awareness.
“UWB delivers the precision needed to prevent vehicle collisions and enables intelligent features like speed zoning, while AI lets us identify and analyze pedestrian behavior in real time,” said Glasmacher. “With ELOshieldAI, customers can choose the safety configuration that fits their environment—whether that’s badge-based alerts, tagless detection, or both.”
