(Deutsche Telekom Group)
Magyar Telekom values our partnership with PoziTech. Their proficiency in industrial monitoring and tracking is reflected in a robust, well-engineered fleet management system.
PoziTech’s ability to rapidly customize solutions to diverse business needs is particularly notable. Their efficient deployment of demos and pilot systems aligns seamlessly with our sales approach, demonstrating a mutual dedication to high-quality service and customer satisfaction.
Balazs Buki
Technical & Forklift Fleet Manager
WSZL (Waberer’s Group)
Our fleet consists of more than 400 forklifts. We determined the number of forklifts needed for purchasing based on data from the PoziTech SmarTruck system. Since adopting this approach, we have noticeably reduced the number of forklifts required for each operational unit.
Last year, the SmarTruck system enabled us to launch a substantial new operation by efficiently reallocating our existing fleet. This strategic move eliminated the necessity of purchasing additional forklifts, yielding significant savings.

SafeTruck
Environmental Health and Safety by PoziTech
The vital importance safeguarding people, equipment, and inventory at your warehouse or facility cannot be underestimated. It’s why so many of our clients employ SafeTruck as part of their EHS protocols.
SafeTruck is designed around wearable technology. The transmitters installed on forklifts and other machines continuously scan the distance of nearby wearable tags. When set limits are reached, the system automatically alerts the operator and the pedestrians nearby, and limits the movement of the machines according to predefined protocols.
As part of the solution, points, routes and areas can be designated with SafePosts, and predefined protocols can be applied to the machines (speed reduction, stop, etc.).
PoziTech SafeTruck provides
- Accident and Collision Prediction and Avoidance: visual and audible warning of moving vehicles for pedestrians in dangerous proximity
- Warning to operators when approaching designated restricted areas.
- Forklift approach warning (visual and audible) for pedestrians at intersections, passageways and gates
- Pedestrian safety options designed around wearable technology
- Parameterizable two-level warnings: yellow, red – depending on distance
- Adaptive sensitivity based on direction and speed as well as pedestrian movement
- Optional integration and intervention in vehicle control: speed limitation in designated safety zones, or even emergency braking of the vehicle when necessary (e.g. in the absence of a response).
- PoziTech’s Advanced geospatial software allows complex and dynamic protocols that ensure the realization of applied EHS regulations
SafeTruck is implemented as a stand-alone system or as a component of SmarTruck.
