Summary of Innovation

The iWAREHOUSE® Integrated Tether System, is a first -of-its-kind operator assist technology, that has been designed to provide alerts to operators and mangers, and limit truck functionality if an operator is not properly secured. The iWAREHOUSE Integrated Tether System features a smart tether that communicates with the lift truck, via iWAREHOUSE telematics and offers audio and visual notifications to the operator of tether status, and changes the behavior of the truck based on an operators harness connection to the self-retracting lanyard (SRL) — connected or disconnected. For facilities with mixed fleets or without Raymond’s iWAREHOUSE® Telematics, the system offers unique value and shares audio and visual alerts to operators if connection has not been properly detected.

In addition to controlling lift truck functionality, the system offers reporting capabilities through iWAREHOUSE® and iMONITOR® Telematics, allowing managers to simplify workforce management and training by providing data and metrics on operator connection histories, system involvements and more.
