KOOI® ReachControl vs SafetyEngine

The KOOI® ReachControl app is freely available on smartphones and dedicated KOOI® ReachControl displays. It provides users with an interface for working with the KOOI® ReachControl sensor system available for forklift truck attachments such as KOOI®-REACHFORKS. The KOOI® ReachControl app works with the KOOI® Hydraulic Flow Meter (with integrated tilt indicator) and KOOI® Deflection Sensors through a Bluetooth (BLE) connection. When the devices are paired, the tablet of smartphone can be used for the following functions: - Length measuring (flow meter) - Pre-programming lengths for automatic stop (flow meter) - Angle measuring (flow meter) - Deflection measuring hydraulic forklift forks (deflection sensor, available soon) Examples of use are: - Hydraulic telescopic forks: measure and stop the outer sleeve at the right pallet dimensions. Dimensions can be pre-programmed for automatic (hydraulic) stop. - Tilt indicator on fork carriers or forklift masts. - Full deflection measurement when carrying loads with manual or hydraulic extendable forklift forks, both in retracted and extended positions (available soon). - Measuring the distance between (reach) forks on fork positioners and fork spreader (available soon). - Measuring length (stroke) of any* hydraulic cylinder. Summarising, this free app – together with the KOOI® ReachControl sensors – will provide an (after-market) extension of the functionality of your hydraulic logistic equipment in order to reduce the chance of product and equipment damage. * Limited to hydraulic systems with a flow of up to 25 L/min.

Construction site safety is challenged by increased complexity, inefficient communication routes and an inexperienced workforce with many nationalities. SafetyEngine is an App for smartphones that digitizes all work environment related processes and documents to accommodate some of these challenges. A main element in the App is an efficient, engaging and 3D-based site safety introduction based on Gamification and BIM models. Furthermore, the App contains a digital information board, registration- and observation modules, and communication features.
