Integrated Intelligent Warehouse Technologies

Raymond provides integrated warehouse solutions through the iWAREHOUSE^® Intelligent Warehouse Solutions suite, combining telematics, automation and labor management tools to enhance efficiency by collecting and reporting vehicle and operator data to help drive productivity across operations to create an optimized and intelligent warehouse. The iWAREHOUSE connected technologies solutions to be demonstrated include:

iWAREHOUSE FieldSense (iW.FieldSense)
- Designed to be a robust proximity notification system, iW.FieldSense alerts pedestrians and lift truck operators when they come within a predefined distance between properly equipped lift trucks and pedestrians.
iWAREHOUSE ObjectSense Detection & Notification System (iW.ObjectSense)
- Developed to reinforce operator training and best practices, iW.ObjectSense is a flexible and reliable way to alert operators with audible and visual notifications of objects within the lift truck's approximate travel path and provides slowdown or stop functionality based on application needs and environment.
iWAREHOUSE Real-Time Location System (iW.RTLS)
- The next-generation iW.RTLS supports lift truck operation by slowing a Raymond lift truck down or bringing it to a controlled stop within a facility's defined zones, designed to help keep operators and lift trucks in the right place at the right time.
iWAREHOUSE Integrated Tether System
- The Integrated Tether System is a first-of-a-kind operator assist tool designed to alert operators and managers and to limit lift truck functionality if an operator is not properly tethered. The wireless connection in the Integrated Tether System is compatible with Raymond lift trucks and can be paired with iWAREHOUSE technologies.

Operator Assist Technologies

Operator assist technologies — which operate by using multiple data sources, like lidar and voice or visual cue systems — work by guiding operators in real time and reinforcing operator training. Innovative operator assist technologies and order picking solutions can be a great way to optimize operations, maximize labor and assist the optimization process.
