RAYMOND ENHANCES OPERATOR SECURITY AND EFFICIENCY WITH DETECTION AND NOTIFICATION SYSTEM

iWAREHOUSE^® ObjectSense Detection & Notification System optimizes equipment, labor and data for greater warehouse productivity and operator training reinforcement

GREENE, N.Y., Feb. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Reinforcing a long legacy of industry-leading innovation and a culture of continuous improvement, The Raymond Corporation introduces iWAREHOUSE^® ObjectSense Detection & Notification System (iW.ObjectSense). Flexible and reliable, iW.ObjectSense serves as a notification system that can alert operators to obstructions while traveling in the tractor-first direction by using audible and visual alerts. The system also offers controlled slowdown and stopping functionalities, ensuring operators remain in full control of lift trucks at all times.

"iW.ObjectSense acts as a training reinforcement tool for lift truck operators and is designed to enhance secure, efficient and productive operations," said Matt Curtis, product manager for Class II and iW.ObjectSense, The Raymond Corporation. "iW.ObjectSense can be both easily incorporated into existing Raymond fleet technology for immediate results and customized to meet the specific needs of operators, applications and facility layouts without infrastructure changes."

Advanced sensing technology 
iW.ObjectSense relies on a dynamic detection field that automatically adjusts alongside lift truck speeds, lengthening and shortening detection areas as needed for optimum performance and smoother deceleration in the event that an object has been identified.

iW.ObjectSense can be tailored to meet specific application needs, with features such as:

• Controlled slowdown and stopping functionalities: When an object is sensed, lift trucks can be brought to a controlled slowdown, or stop, in or outside the aisle, consistent with facility rules and needs.
  
  
• Advanced diagnostic reporting: When obstructions are sensed, iW.ObjectSense offers alert notification and configurable reporting capabilities, allowing facility managers to diagnose and address challenges before they become productivity-impacting issues.
  
  
• Simple implementation for any fleet: iW.ObjectSense can be quickly and efficiently implemented into new Raymond^® models or as a retrofit option for existing Raymond lift trucks, creating fleets of smart trucks capable of customizable functionality and advanced reporting diagnostics.
  
  
• Integration with other iWAREHOUSE systems: When paired with other connected technologies in the iWAREHOUSE Solutions suite, iW.ObjectSense allows businesses to leverage multiple technology solutions depending on specific facility conditions and needs — maximizing labor, data and equipment efficiency warehousewide.

"Even as we continue to introduce innovative solutions like iW.ObjectSense, our goal at Raymond remains the same — providing intralogistics solutions that help you optimize operations, expand your data capabilities and automate functions in order to continuously improve every aspect of your application," Curtis said. "And, as with every new technology we introduce, our Raymond team of experts is here to offer support."
