en.Wedoany.com Reported - To reduce collisions caused by blind spots, congested aisles, and insufficient operator reaction time in warehouses, Matrix Design Group LLC (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alliance Resource Partners, L.P.) and Hyundai Material Handling have announced a collaboration to integrate edge-based pedestrian, vehicle, and object detection technology into forklift operations.

Through the HiVision system powered by OmniPro, the two parties are building a safer, more connected, and more efficient infrastructure for material handling fleets. The core of the collaboration involves embedding visual artificial intelligence technology into forklift platforms, providing progressive visual alerts from green to yellow to red as equipment approaches obstacles, and triggering deceleration mechanisms via CAN bus integration at critical distances.

Mark Watson, CEO of Matrix Design Group, stated that the value of this technology extends far beyond collision prevention. By integrating OmniPro Vision AI into forklift platforms, they are helping customers lay the foundation for safer operations, better visibility, and higher facility efficiency.

At the Modex 2026 exhibition in Atlanta, Matrix and Hyundai demonstrated the system on a Hyundai forklift configuration, showcasing its ability to identify obstacles in front and behind and dynamically adjust alert levels to assist operator decision-making.

Lewis Byers, Executive Vice President and COO of Hyundai Material Handling, noted that the collaboration as official technology partners helps shift safety approaches from isolated point solutions to a more cohesive overall strategy; collision prevention is just the beginning, and the future roadmap leads to a more connected and intelligent machine ecosystem.

Matrix and Hyundai stated that this collaboration supports safer warehouse operations while also helping facilities prepare technically for smarter fleet technologies and future automation.
