Goods transport and logistics

No haulier, forwarding company or HGV fleet can operate without a state-of-the-art turn assistant. From 2022, the use of turn assistants will become mandatory in the European Union. LUIS TURN DETECT® is widely considered a pioneering turn assistant system. It is currently the only one of its kind to detect cyclists even in separate lanes or behind parking vehicles.

Wired or wireless LUIS camera-monitor systems offer perfect visibility to the rear and into blind spots. Encrypted digital wireless technology ensures stable, low-interference operation. Our systems are easy to retrofit into existing driver assistance systems.

Our 360-degree systems offer all-round visibility in every situation. Drivers in the logistics sector are able to keep track of their surroundings at all times. High-performance wide-angle cameras and an electronic control unit operate in combination to create a complete bird's-eye view in real time.

Fleet management is about more than just safety issues. Logistics companies in particular face increasing requirements in terms of effectiveness and efficiency on a daily basis. The LUIS product range includes solutions such as mobile digital recorders, GPS trackers and innovative telematics systems (e. g. to measure cargo bays or monitor cold chains) to help facilitate fleet management. LUIS fleet management systems are integrated into data protection compliant and cost-effective software and cloud solutions.

Logistics companies are well aware that each vehicle type comes with its own challenges in terms of control and operation supported by camera systems. We offer a range of solutions that are adaptable to exactly meet the specific requirements of each type of logistics vehicle. As with all our products, you have a choice between standard solutions, individually adapted systems or even bespoke solutions developed to your specifications.

Operating industrial trucks usually involves limited visibility, the movement of heavy loads and frequently chaotic, busy working environments. The movement of vehicles and people in often very confined spaces increases the risk of accidents. This requires highly efficient operating procedures to shift loads swiftly and effectively. Likewise, operating cranes requires safe access in order to move loads. The crane’s jib range must be monitored constantly.
The requirement profile for forklift trucks can be summarised as:

• Limited visibility – especially if loads are heavy – that needs to be optimised.
• Risk of damages when reversing or backing up the vehicle, and the need to mitigate that risk.
• All-round visibility is required for forklift drivers at all times.
• The risk of industrial truck accidents must be eliminated.
• Load acquisition needs to be swift and precise.

LUIS systems can be installed in various positions on forklift trucks and other industrial trucks, offering drivers an eye-level view of the load to be transported. Installing a camera system on the fork of a forklift truck would, for example, provide the operator with a direct eye-level view of the load. Proper handling of the load becomes far safer, and removal and/or storage is considerably accelerated. The position of the crane cabin can also be varied to allow for a more effective load access and ensure optimal visibility of the crane jib.

Transporter vans and light commercial vehicles used in the logistics sector pose the same requirements for excellent visibility as well as efficient and effective processes.
LUIS solutions meet the challenges that are typical for this segment:

• Rear view cameras and, upon request, an additional proactive alert system eliminate blind spots when reversing or parallel-parking.
• Lateral cameras offer enhanced safety when turning.
• Interior cameras help to monitor your valuable cargo.
• Front cameras can help to prevent collisions.
• Integration into a fleet management system facilitates the operation of a vehicle fleet.
• Customised solutions are available to meet the specific needs of individual logistics providers.

We are familiar with the particular requirements in the logistics sector, such as tight schedules, occupational health and safety, subsidy schemes, operational and management issues as well as advanced safety provisions.
