Litum, a global leader in Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS), today
announced the release of PathAware, a new forklift safety solution
designed to reduce collision risks and improve operational awareness,
all without relying on wearable tags, complex installations, or
expensive cameras.
At a time when industrial safety regulations
are tightening and operational demands are rising, PathAware redefines
what forklift safety should look like: frictionless, reliable, and
future-ready.
Unlike traditional systems that depend on
wearables, fixed infrastructure, or camera networks, PathAware uses
AI-enhanced sensors and UWB-enabled vehicle tags mounted directly on
forklifts. This setup delivers true 360-degree situational awareness in
all environments - day or night - with no need for line-of-sight, human
intervention, or operator compliance.
"We designed PathAware to
make forklift safety smarter and more scalable," said Ozgur Ulku, CEO of
Litum. "It's a system that works out of the box and grows with you."
What sets PathAware apart from other solutions in the market:
Tagless by Design:
No
wearable tags required. PathAware's AI-enhanced sensors automatically
detect pedestrians, obstacles, and other vehicles - eliminating risks
tied to human error, non-compliance, or equipment oversight.
360° Coverage:
Using
advanced sensor fusion and UWB technologies, PathAware delivers
continuous 360° detection without relying on line-of-sight. It
effectively "sees" around corners, through obstructions, and in blind
spots, ensuring safer navigation even in crowded aisles or
low-visibility areas.
Plug-and-Play Installation:
Self-contained
with onboard processing and alerts, PathAware requires no external
infrastructure or networking. Simply install, power up, and start
protecting your operations - no complex setup needed.
Reliable in All Conditions:
Built
for tough industrial conditions, PathAware maintains precise detection
performance across changing light, dust, temperature, and weather -
outperforming camera-based systems that depend on visibility.
Scalable to RTLS:
The
system can be upgraded over time with optional modules - such as
geofencing, location-based analytics, and full-facility RTLS - allowing
businesses to start with safety and scale toward operational
intelligence.
Cost-Efficient & Adaptive:
Without the need
for networked anchors or camera installations, PathAware offers a high
ROI and faster time to safety - ideal for dynamic or cost-sensitive
environments.
PathAware delivers a cost-effective alternative to
camera-based and infrastructure-heavy systems - while meeting rising
safety standards and compliance expectations across global markets.
As
workplace safety demands continue to grow, PathAware offers companies a
practical and future-ready solution - one that starts with protecting
lives and paves the way for smarter, more connected operations.
