Smart Speed Control For The VIA Mobile360 Forklift Safety Solution

Edward Lu2 min read

In high-traffic warehouses, speed is a tool for productivity, but unregulated speed is a liability. To bridge the gap between efficiency and operator safety, VIA Tech is proud to announce our new Speed Limiter Solution.

This intelligent add-on for the VIA Mobile360 Safety Solution for Forklifts moves beyond static speed caps. It creates a responsive vehicle environment where speed is automatically regulated based on real-time hazards, driver behavior, and facility location.

Precision Velocity Management

The VIA Speed Limiter Solution isn’t a simple "on/off" governor. It allows fleet managers to program distinct speed settings, in addition to a master maximum speed. The system’s core strength is Intelligent Speed Reduction. When the VIA Mobile360 sensors detect hazards, such as a pedestrian, or even an unbuckled seatbelt, the system automatically throttles the forklift down to a safer, pre-set velocity (turtling). Importantly, the system is designed to never fully stop the vehicle, ensuring the operator maintains control while effectively mitigating the risk of high-speed collisions.

Modular Hardware for Total Fleet Control

Every facility has a unique layout and risk profile. Our solution offers modular components to help you customize your level of oversight:

  • Speed Limiter : This base component sets the maximum vehicle speed and executes slowdown commands based on alerts from the system, such as when a pedestrian is detected nearby, unbuckled seatbelts, or unauthorized drivers.
  • Speed Zone Sensor Kit : This add-on uses transmitters and receivers to establish specific speed zones, triggering automatic speed changes when the forklift passes them, such as moving into a warehouse from outside.

Compatible with almost any forklift equipped with an electric throttle, our solution features custom-engineered harnesses that ensure a warranty-safe installation. We offer fast deployment for most major makes and models, allowing you to upgrade your fleet's safety standards without delay. Remove the "guessing game" from warehouse safety. By automating speed transitions based on proximity and environment, you protect your most valuable assets, your people, without slowing down your operation.
