	When truck drivers approach loading docks in reverse, they often lose visual contact with the area behind the vehicle. This becomes extremely dangerous if pedestrians or forklifts are moving or working between the dock and the trailer. Human presence in this blind spot is nearly invisible to the driver, especially if mirrors or cameras are not used properly. Logistics Safety AI detects humans in this zone during reversing maneuvers and can trigger alerts, vehicle restraints, or automatic deceleration to prevent deadly accidents.

	Event Gates Logistics Safety AI mitigates these risks through a dual-camera setup, monitoring both sides of the truck. If a pedestrian is detected in a monitored zone while a forklift is active, the system triggers a voice alarm and slows the forklift automatically. Additionally, traffic lights—red and green—guide the operator, signaling when it is safe to proceed.

During loading operations, forklifts frequently move in and out of the truck from this platform.

	One of the most serious safety risks arises when a truck approaches the dock in reverse while personnel are still present in or near the path of the vehicle—especially near the dock entrance or between the dock and the trailer. This can occur if workers are finishing up tasks, inspecting the ramp, or simply passing by. Since truck drivers cannot see behind their vehicle during this maneuver, a person in the danger zone may go unnoticed until it’s too late.

	To address the risk of trucks reversing into occupied areas, Logistics Safety AI monitors the space in front of the dock using '''one camera mounted above the dock door''', facing outward. This perspective allows the system to detect both incoming trucks and any personnel present in the approach zone.

	High rack corridors—with their narrow lanes and elevated storage—present persistent safety challenges such as vehicle-person collisions and falling objects.

	The solution relies on cameras installed at both ends of the corridor. Each camera operates independently to detect vehicles and persons; however, critical risks may still occur—for example, a vehicle approaching from one side while a person is present at the opposite end, or a vehicle obstructing the camera’s view. By grouping both cameras into a shared region using the [[Regions of Interest (ROI)#Region groups\|region groups]] feature of VIS, VIS creates a unified context, allowing it to detect and respond to such risks holistically.

	=== Side loading bays ===		=== Side loading bays ===
			Side-loading bays, common in automotive and high-throughput logistics operations, demand precise coordination between trucks, forklifts, and nearby personnel. One of the main risks in these areas is the forklift operator’s limited visibility—especially on the far side of the truck—combined with frequent, often unauthorized, pedestrian presence.

			Event Gates Logistics Safety AI mitigates these risks through a dual-camera setup, monitoring both sides of the truck. If a pedestrian is detected in a monitored zone while a forklift is active, the system triggers a voice alarm and slows the forklift automatically. Additionally, traffic lights—red and green—guide the operator, signaling when it is safe to proceed.

			Forklifts are equipped with UWB receivers, and mobile transmitters enhance position accuracy and enable real-time communication between vehicles and the AI system. For extended oversight, an optional email alert system sends violation reports—complete with attached video evidence—to designated safety personnel.

			Beyond detecting vehicles and people, the system also identifies chocks, open truck curtains, and PPE compliance (e.g., helmets, hi-vis vests). This ensures trucks do not move while unsecured and that safety protocols are followed before loading or unloading begins.

			With Logistics Safety AI, side-loading bays are transformed into actively managed, high-visibility zones where safety and operational efficiency go hand in hand.

	'''Event Gates Logistics Safety AI''' is an advanced industrial vision system designed to enhance safety in busy logistics environments. By combining deep-learning image analytics with real-time monitoring, it detects potential hazards—such as collisions between forklifts, trucks, pedestrians, or falling loads—and intelligently triggers vehicle deceleration before an accident occurs. The system also ensures compliance by monitoring the use of personal protective equipment (e.g., helmets, hi-vis vests) and vehicle safety measures like curtains and wheel chocks, automatically logging safety violations and issuing notifications as needed.

	Trucks parked at docks must be properly restrained to prevent unintended movement during loading or unloading. If wheel chocks or dock-lock systems are not used—or are removed too early—the vehicle may shift unexpectedly, causing serious injury or damage. This risk is especially high when heavy forklifts are entering or exiting the trailer.

	VIS supports grouping regions from multiple camera views to create a logical shared zone, even when individual cameras cannot cover the entire area. This allows risk detection in spatially complex environments—such as both sides of a truck, or the front and rear of an order picker—where visibility from a single viewpoint is not sufficient. Region groups are evaluated collectively to identify cross-camera presence of people and vehicles, enabling a more complete and accurate understanding of the situation.

	In restricted-access zones or areas without full camera coverage, VIS uses perimeter-based tracking and entry/exit counting to maintain situational awareness. By monitoring movement across defined entry lines and keeping a live count of people present within a closed area, the system can infer whether personnel remain inside—even if visual contact is lost. This is critical in sealed docks, trailer interiors, or back-of-rack zones where direct monitoring is difficult but worker presence must still be accounted for.
