Real-Time Forklift Tracking for a Safer Factory Floor
Never too early and certainly not too late. Parts must be on the production line right on time. But efficiency must not come at the expense of safety. So, how to improve flow and protect your workers at the same time? With locating technology that provides you with live vehicle position data and helps you make the most of your fleet.
Are You Losing Time Moving Materials Around?
In busy factories, it’s hard to keep track of where vehicles are. Are they idle, off-route, or blocked?
Without full visibility, you may face:
- Loss of time
- Risk of accident
- Missed chances to improve traffic flow
But you don’t have to put up with this. With live location data, you can optimize your fleet, cut waste, and prevent accidents, while boosting profitability.
Optimize Your Intralogistics with Location Tracking
With our real-time location system (RTLS) you can spot bottlenecks, reduce unnecessary travel, and make better use of your vehicles and drivers.
- Materials arrive at the right place at the right time
- Workers can move around safely
- You can continuously improve processes

The Benefits of Tracking Forklifts with RTLS
Four Steps to Real-Time Forklift Tracking
How RTLS Forklift Tracking Works
Our RTLS uses wireless Ultra-Wideband (UWB) tags attached to every forklift, AGV, or tugger cart. The tags send signals to anchors mounted on the ceiling, and they communicate with the RTLS server which updates the vehicle’s location every 0.1 second with up to 30 cm accuracy.
The tag runs on its own battery or draws power directly from the vehicle, so maintenance is minimal. RTLS works automatically in the background—no manual scanning needed. Operators can stay focused and safe in the cab while the system handles the tracking.
Efficiency and utilization
Real-time and historical forklift location data
RTLS tracks each vehicle’s position and stores its movement history. You get data on routes, dwell time, sequences, load handling, and OEE, all in one dashboard.
Forklift route optimization
Accurate location data helps you plan faster, safer routes, reduce fuel use, and identify underused vehicles.
Forklift navigation and correct load placement
Forklifts receive live task info and are guided to the correct drop-off point. The system alerts drivers if they try to unload in the wrong spot.
Forklift safety and risk prevention
Forklift anti-collision system
RTLS helps you protect people on the shop floor. It tracks the exact position of forklifts and workers and can trigger automatic action that slows the vehicles down if they get too close.
Smart alerts and access control
Virtual safety zones trigger alerts if a driver enters a restricted area, speeds, or a person steps into their path.
Preventing rack collapse injuries
Forklift tags detect shocks and send alerts to maintenance with the exact time and location, so they can act before structural damage becomes a hazard.
