  • The invention also relates to a system for decreasing of the number of accidents goods in a warehouse.
  • Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for decreasing of the number of accidents in a warehouse, using the system and the device described as before.
  • In warehouses, fork lifts are used for internal transportation. Goods usually are stored on pallets, which can be operated by fork lifts. Quite often, circulation areas in such warehouses are narrow, and operation time for the fork lift drivers is short. There is a risk of damaging of the goods by the fork lifts, especial in sharp turns.
  • The document JP 7127872 (A ) discloses a method for protecting goods in warehouses, especially in turns, by the positioning of protective guards especially in sharp turns. But such protective guards cannot safeguard that there will be no damage at the goods in case a fork lift crashes towards the protective guard. Moreover, the protective guard itself will be damaged in such case.
  • The German patent application DE 10 2009 006 174 A1 discloses an industrial truck, especially a fork lift, with an accident documentation system. The truck has an accident sensor i.e. glass breakage sensor, located in an area of a component formed by a mast, where the accident sensor and a central accident sensor i.e. acceleration sensor, are used for detecting accidental events. The component is designed to be damaged by the accidental events. A piezoelectric microphone or an extension sensor serves as the glass breakage sensor. The accident sensor is wirelessly connected to a central accident detection controller of the truck via an antenna.
  • Industrial trucks, especially fork lifts, equipped with radio communication systems are also known from other documents, for example EP 1 932 798 A2 and DE 10 2008 009 583 A1 . The documents disclose the automatic detection of the identification of an industrial truck via RFID transponder as well.
  • Such method facilitate the documentation in case an accident has occurred but cannot prevent an accident or at least decrease the number of accidents.
  • The objective of the invention is to provide a device for decreasing the number of accidents in warehouses with fork lifts and thus to decrease the number of damages at the goods caused by accidents with fork lifts.
  • The objective of the invention is also to provide a system of a warehouse equipped with the device as described before and fork lifts.
  • Another objective of the invention is to provide a method for decreasing the number of accidents in warehouses caused by fork lifts, using the system described before.
  • According to the invention, this objective is achieved by a traffic pylon having the features of the independent Claim 1. Advantageous refinements of the traffic pylon are set forth in the subordinate Claims 2 through 5. The objective is also achieved by a system according to Claim 6. An advantageous embodiment of the system is et forth in the subordinate Claim 7. Further, the objective is achieved by a method according to Claim 8 or 9. Advantageous embodiments of the method are likewise set forth in the subordinate Claims 10 and 11.
  • The traffic pylon according to the invention exhibits an exterior shell and a hollow interior and is equipped at least with a proximity sensor, a contact sensor, a tilting over sensor and a radio communication module and exhibits a control device and a radio communication system. In case, fork lifts, which circulate in a warehouse equipped with traffic pylons like described before, are equipped with an identification sensor identifying the fork lift and a radio communication module, the control device of the traffic pylon gets the information via the radio communication system, which fork lift is near by. A threshold for the allowable proximity of a fork lift to a traffic pylon is predefined and stored in the control device. In case of an incident of violation of the proximity threshold by a fork lift, and/or the contact between the fork or the body of a fork lift and the traffic pylon with or without the tilting over of the traffic pylon, the control device of the control device of the traffic pylon registers and stores the incident together with the fork lift identification. At a due date, all data may be read out of the control device of the traffic pylon, and a ranking may be generated, which fork lift caused most incidents.
  • In an advantageous system according to the invention, the system contains a warehouse equipped with a traffic pylon like described before, and a fork lift, equipped with an identification sensor identifying the fork lift and a radio communication module. The fork lift furthermore contains a sensor identifying the fork and a control system for the log-in of a driver and for controlling the radio communication, and the radio communication system of the fork lift and of the traffic pylon are able to communicate with each other, whereby the system furthermore contains a database running on a central computer wirelessly connected with the control system of each fork lift and of the traffic pylon with at least a data set for each fork lift driver. All incidents may be recorded by the database running on the central computer. A ranking of all fork lift drivers may be generated to a due date, using the criteria, who caused most of the single incidents. A total ranking system for all incidents may be created by allocating values to the single incidents. For example, a malus system may be set up, in which the violation of the proximity threshold charges one minus point, a contact of the fork with a traffic pylon charges two points, a contact of the fork lift body with a traffic pylon charges five points, and in case the traffic pylon tilts over in succession of such contact, it costs four respectively five points, depending whether the contact was made by the fork or the body of the fork lift. It is possible to generate the ranking on time by recording the incidents on time as well. Such ranking may be displayed on time, too. A warehouse championship is created by this method. For example, the best driver may receive a bonus.
  • Of course, a bonus system operating in a contrariwise way is possible, too. Also it is possible, to allocate the data of the incidents in the control device of the fork lift.
  • In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the traffic pylon in filled with pourable material such as sand, or a fluid, water for instance, in order to increase stability.
  • In another advantageous embodiment of the invention, the traffic pylon exhibits a warning light and/ or a warning sound system. In case of the violation of the proximity threshold, the control device of the traffic pylon switches on the warning light and/or the warning sound system. The fork lift driver will be warned and is able to adjust the route of his fork lift.
  • The advantage of the method according to the invention and of the appertaining device for carrying out the method lies in the effective and reliable lowering of accidents in a warehouse caused by fork lifts. Goods stored in the warehouse will be damaged less numerous, costs will be saved.
  • An additional advantage of the system like described before lies in the possibility of analyzing of all accidents in general without directly identifying of the drivers. Such analysis can be used to identify when, where and by which machine the most accidents or near accidents were caused. With such information, reasons for accidents and risks for potential further accidents can be identified and possibly eliminated. For example, analyzing such data may give hints for an accumulation of accidents with a single fork lift, which may be caused by a technical defect of this fork lift. Technical service of this fork lift may result in a decrease of accidents. It is imaginable that such hints result in technical improvements of fork lifts or parts of fork lifts as well. In another example, it is possible that an accumulation of special accidents at a special location of the warehouse is analyzed. An expert may analyze this location after such hint and may take action to relieve the situation an this location. An decreasing number of accidents at this location and therefore in general may result from such action.
