Does the forklift proximity alarm "Hiyari Hunter" really work?

[Safety Measures Case Studies] Feedback and opinions from users who have actually implemented Hiyari Hunter reveal its effectiveness.

[To Yamato Transport Co., Ltd. Okayama Branch Logistics Business Group] "Compared to the past, the amount of work has increased, and there are more workers and forklifts. As the Okayama branch, we have been working on collision prevention measures such as pointing and calling, but we thought we could implement some measures on the hardware side as well, which led to the introduction of this system." "Every month, each worker reports and records the near-miss incidents they experienced, and the number of near-miss incidents related to forklift contact has decreased from about 20 to around 2-3. I believe it has been effective. When I actually conducted interviews on-site, I received feedback like, 'It was good to notice things early because of the near-miss hunter.'" [To Shinsei Industry Co., Ltd.] "The rotating light originally attached to the lift was insufficient, and many near-miss incidents occurred at the point of encounter between pedestrians and lifts. We introduced the near-miss hunter as a safety measure for shared zones that cannot be covered by simply separating pedestrians and vehicles." "Before the introduction, an average of about 15 near-miss incidents occurred per month. Since the introduction of the near-miss hunter, there have been no near-miss incidents related to collisions between pedestrians and lifts. Work efficiency has also improved."
