Obtaining and analyzing forklift data is difficult and time-consuming. Extracting data from enterprise software systems is often complicated and requires IT work. Performing internal observation studies is labor intensive and produces only a small sampling of data. The opportunity cost of allocating team members to collect utilization data and analyze it is high, and competes with daily production requirements.

Seegrid View provides Automated Data Collection which allows firms to understand forklift utilization through Automated Data Collection. Self-powered View sensors are attached onto forklifts and racking locations in seconds and require zero IT support. Seegrid’s View sensors record forklift movement data 24/7 over 30 days, ensuring that no shifts are missed and daily and weekly variations are captured.
