Company profile

ELOKON

German ultra-wideband pedestrian detection with programmable zone shapes and automatic speed reduction, supported from a United States office in Atlanta. [2]

Also known as: ELOshield

What the company sells

ELOKON's ELOshield detects pedestrians using ultra-wideband sensors, which the company states work through pallets and racking without line of sight. The wider range extends to ELOprotect for very narrow aisle safety and ELOfleet for fleet management, so detection can be bought separately from telematics. [2][1]

Zone geometry is the differentiator

Warning and Protection zones can be programmed as circles, symmetrical rectangles or optionally asymmetric polygons, which matters in an aisle where the risk ahead of the truck and the risk to its side are not the same distance. Each zone can trigger a different reaction, including automatically reducing vehicle speed. [2]

Fleet fit

The company describes the system as OEM-independent and fittable to any brand and age of forklift, and also to robots, cobots and AGVs, which suits a mixed site running manual and automated handling on one detection scheme. [2]

Services & capabilities
