PT Journal AU Özgür, à Alias, C Noche, B TI Comparing sensor-based and camera-based approaches to recognizing the occupancy status of the load handling device of forklift trucks SO Logistics Journal : Proceedings PY 2016 VL 2016 IS 05 DI 10.2195/lj_Proc_oezguer_en_201605_01 DE camera; comparison; detection; forklift; occupancy status; sensor AB Real-time data of key performance enablers in logistics warehouses are of growing importance as they permit decision-makers to instantaneously react to alerts, deviations and damages. Several technologies appear as adequate data sources to collect the information required in order to achieve the goal. In the present re-search paper, the load status of the fork of a forklift is to be recognized with the help of a sensor-based and a camera-based solution approach. The comparison of initial experimentation results yields a statement about which direction to pursue for promising further research. ER
