A closer look at the technology

No tags, no beacons, no anchors. A Computer Vision–powered system for localization and people detection.

LOCALIZATION

Staring at the ceiling and at the sky, looking for waves nearby

Thanks to a camera placed on the roof of the forklift and the VSLAM algorithm, Dragonfly is able to identify relevant points on the ceiling, map it and provide precise truck positioning of in real time.

Indoor

Mapping (one time)

All logistics areas are mapped to collect the ceiling characteristics into the Dragonfly’s Map, which is then geo-referenced with the DWG floorplan and distributed among the industrial trucks.

Localization (live)

The Dragonfly algorithm in each truck compares the camera’s video feed with Dragonfly’s Map and converts it into a live xy position with ~ 10 cm accuracy.

Outdoor

Dragonfly receives RTK (Real-time Kinematic) corrections from the base station to achieve up to 10 cm of accuracy.

Don’t worry about sheds, high walls or canyons. Our technlogy is built to perform even il the harshest environments.

PEOPLE DETECTION

It doesn't just see, it recognizes.

See by the cameras

The People Detection technology needs at least 3 cameras (one rear, two front) mounted on each forklift truck, plus 1 wall-mounted camera per intersection to activate the Blind Corner function.

Recognize by the AI

We use a cutting-edge pretrained neural network with up to 80 class detected (person, car, bicycle...). It can be fine-tuned according to the customer's environment and different brightness and contrast conditions.

Scalability

The system supports up to n. cameras, adapting to different contexts and providing complete visibility even on large vehicles.

Specific Neural Network

Our AI is trained and refined to perform optimally in warehouse environments, recognizing the dynamics of logistics flows.

Universal Interface

The system interfaces with any type of forklift, automatically applying the braking system in the event of an alert.

Precise Position

The system is able to calculate the precise position of people, measure their distance from the vehicle, and assess whether they are passing through safe or unsafe areas.

THE GEAR

How a standard equipped forklift looks like

Look inside the box

Onboard processing unit for industrial trucks, available in different versions depending on the operating environment (indoor, outdoor, or hybrid). It runs the core Dragonfly RTLS software, managing real-time localization, people detection, safety alerts, and edge data processing. The unit is typically installed on the truck roof or inside the cabin.

Precision and protection, powered by vision

This is how Dragonfly makes your warehouse safer and more productive.
