IndustriesThird-party logistics
Move faster without moving less safely.
The supply chain keeps speeding up, and your clients expect you to keep pace. Redpoint gives your forklifts eyes around every blind corner and gives you the record to prove your floor is run right.
The moment
When speed starts working against safety.
A major intermodal operation
Freight is coming in from rail, from trucks, from everywhere at once — and all of it has to get back out, efficiently. Speed can’t compromise safety, but on a crowded floor it often does.
In large-scale logistics operations, big stacks of pallets create dangerous intersections and blind corridors. A forklift driver comes around a corner and doesn’t always have time to react. In those moments, speed actually reduces both safety and efficiency.
Add automated forklifts, changing workflows and people and equipment moving rapidly, and it gets harder every year. Your clients demand more. Prospective clients want to see impeccable processes.
What changes with Redpoint
Forklifts that can “see” around the corner.
For that intermodal operation, Redpoint created vehicle-to-vehicle connectivity so the forklifts themselves could sense each other around blind corners — cutting the risk of collisions where no driver can see.
- A blind intersection. Two forklifts head for it; the stacks hide each from the other.
- They sense each other through the pallet stacks, before either driver can see.
- Both slow down inside the speed-limited zone.
- One waits, the other crosses. No close call — and both are back to work.
-
Pedestrian areas stay protected
Geo-fenced safe zones alert operators if they enter a pedestrian area — and can automatically enforce speed restrictions in high-traffic parts of the building.
-
Everyone knows what’s coming
Redpoint automatically notifies operators and pedestrians of the presence of equipment, and can trigger facility signal lights and alarms when a zone is entered.

Proof for clients and auditors
To support ISO 45001 compliance, Redpoint keeps historical evidence you can play back and search by place or by time.
Built for your people
A safer floor is also a less exhausting one.
How do you make your workplace safer? By seeing how your processes affect your people. The same live picture that prevents collisions shows you where the work wears people down.
- Reduce fatigue by eliminating wasteful processes
- Increase safety by equipping employees with smart tags
- Improve interaction between people and equipment
- Cut redundancy, monotony and everyday irritations
With full visibility of stock and equipment, you’ll see whether equipment is being used or has spare capacity, and whether high-use materials sit in prime locations. Heatmaps, asset movement diagrams and route playback help you remove chokepoints, balance the workload and respond quicker to incidents.

How it works in a 3PL
Install, analyze, improve. No new silo.
The last thing a busy, complex warehouse needs is another disconnected system. Redpoint plugs into what you already run, and every interaction, zone and piece of equipment adds to the big picture.
