ELOKON to Debut AI-Powered Dual-Layer Collision Prevention at MODEX 2026

ELOshieldAl integrates tag-based technology with Al-powered vision detection to deliver unparalleled protection for pedestrians and vehicles in high-risk industrial settings

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--At MODEX 2026, ELOKON will feature its new ELOshieldAI, an advanced safety system that combines proven tag-based proximity detection with AI-powered vision detection to deliver a dual-layer, comprehensive collision-prevention solution for forklifts and other material handling equipment. The system can be installed on nearly any new or existing material handling equipment and customized to the needs of warehouses, industrial sites and logistics hubs, even those with cluttered layouts, complex workflows, or low-visibility conditions. Attendees can experience ELOshieldAI in booth C11990 in Atlanta April 13-16.

“Keeping employees safe while protecting expensive equipment is of utmost importance for any facility,” said Alex Glasmacher, CEO of ELOKON. “With ELOshieldAI, operators can rely on on-body pedestrian alerts from UWB-based badges for high-precision detection; tagless AI-camera detection that identifies and analyzes pedestrian behavior in real time; or a combination of both. Together, these technologies create an intelligent, fail-safe approach to safety for both pedestrians and the forklifts.”

By integrating ELOKON’s proven ELOshield (UWB-based tagged) and ELOvision (AI-based vision) platforms, ELOshieldAI delivers:

• Up to 360° Visibility: Multiple onboard cameras eliminate blind spots and provide real-time video feeds to enhance operator awareness. Advanced AI-powered visibility improves safety and high-traffic, complex environments.
• Proactive Collision Prevention: Visual, audible and automatic slowdown warnings with direct wireless communications help avoid truck-to-truck and truck-to-pedestrian incidents by reducing false alarms from static objects and improving inter-vehicle awareness. Additionally, ELOshieldAI enables dynamic zone monitoring, accurately detecting trucks entering or leaving designated safety zones such as pedestrian aisles or intersections, and triggering automated alerts or slowdowns.
• Vehicle Control Integration: The system adapts forklift behavior, including speed reduction or braking, during high-risk situations.
• Near-Miss Analytics: The system uses the detailed detection and logging of near-collision events — captured by fused AI vision and UWB data — to uncover patterns, prevent accidents, and make workplaces safer by turning close calls into insights.

ELOKON presents more product innovations, three educational seminars, at MODEX

In addition to ELOshieldAI, ELOKON will demonstrate:

• ELOfusion, a single, integrated environmental warning and fleet management system designed to improve safety and productivity for forklift fleets in warehouses, distribution centers and manufacturing facilities. ELOfusion combines ELOKON’s UWB-based ELOshield proximity detection system and the fleet management platform ELOfleet, both of which will also be featured individually.
• ELOvision, AI-based environmental warning system leveraging a camera to provide an intelligent alternative to the UWB-based ELOshield,

In addition to the technology demonstrations, Glasmacher will present three seminars exploring the revolutionary impact of sensor data fusion technology on the material handling industry. Each seminar, entitled “How Sensor Data Fusion is Enabling New and Transformative Forklift Safety and Fleet Management Products,” will delve into the critical importance of forklift safety and effective fleet management, focusing on how the integration of advanced sensor technologies helps merge these solutions into a single product.

Attendees will learn how:

• sensor data fusion is driving the adoption of smart forklift fleet and pedestrian safety solutions for safer, more efficient operations
• infrastructure-free RTL and digital twins for warehouse safety are impacting operations
• combining proximity detection systems with forklift fleet telematics transforms the industry from reactive impact recording to proactive collision avoidance

These seminars will take place on April 14 at 10:30 a.m. in theater C; April 15 at 11:15 a.m. in theater B, and April 16 at 9:30 a.m. in theater C.

See ELOshieldAI and other ELOKON products such as ELOfusion and ELOvision in booth C11990 at MODEX in Atlanta April 13-16.
