Industry solution

Forklift & Material Handling

Q: Can we restrict ignition to certified operators only?

Yes. Ignition is gated by a biometric check via the Access-Control API; only operators whose certification is active in the system can start the vehicle.

Q: Can we enforce a pre-shift checklist?

The cab unit can require the operator to complete a checklist after verification and before ignition is enabled, with the result logged.

Q: Does it work offline?

Yes. An edge engine authorizes operators locally with no network and syncs the audit trail when connectivity returns.

Q: Which vehicles does it suit?

Forklifts, cranes, lorries, buses and other industrial vehicles — any equipment where a fingerprint/face starter or interlock can be fitted.

Ensure only certified operators can start a forklift or industrial vehicle — biometric ignition interlock with a pre-shift checklist and a full audit trail.

The challenge

What makes Forklift & Material Handling hard

Uncertified or unauthorized operators are a safety and liability risk
Pre-shift safety checklist is skipped or unrecorded
Ignition must be tied to a verified identity
Need an audit trail of who operated which unit, when
Harsh, often offline environments

How Cams solves it

The right modality for the job

A fingerprint or face check on the cab unit authorizes the operator before the vehicle will start. The Access-Control API drives the ignition relay/interlock only for certified operators, and an offline edge engine keeps working without a network, syncing later. Every start — and every refusal — is logged for audit.

🔗

Integration. The Access-Control API (OpenDoor / relay) enables ignition only after a verified, certified operator; device-management APIs enrol and expire operator certifications. Works offline at the edge and syncs the audit log when online.
