Volvo Trucks Warehouse

At Volvo Trucks Ghent, safety is the top priority in their logistics environment. Yet, despite existing measures, 16 near accidents were recorded each year. The warehouse struggled with hazardous situations involving forklifts and pedestrians. Multicap’s innovative technology provided the way forward. By combining our intelligent lighting with the LynX Vision system, incidents were reduced to zero and industrial safety was significantly enhanced.

Unclear traffic flows create risk
In busy warehouses and production zones, risky situations arise every day. Intersections where forklifts, vehicles, and employees’ cross paths create a high risk of incidents. Loading and unloading areas are also prone to blockages caused by misplaced pallets or materials.

Traditional cameras may capture these situations, but they don’t provide real-time warnings. As a result, safety still relies heavily on human alertness—often with delayed reactions.

LynX Vision combined with Intelligent Lighting is the answer
Multicap installed the LynX Vision system, which goes far beyond standard camera surveillance. The smart cameras detect forklifts, pedestrians, and obstacles in real time and immediately communicate this through intelligent lighting.

Intersection monitoring: Dynamic light signals (red, green, amber) give forklift drivers and pedestrians instant clarity on who has right of way and where risks arise.

Zone control: Virtual zones monitor high-risk areas such as passages, machinery, and loading points. As soon as someone or something enters the zone, it is instantly detected, triggering a visual or acoustic warning.

Real-time feedback: All events are processed instantly by the LynX server, ensuring alarms are objective and not dependent on human observation.

The system is also privacy-friendly: no images are permanently stored. Only in the event of an incident can the system temporarily save short video fragments (about 10 seconds before and after) for analysis.

Impact of our solution at Volvo Trucks
With the implementation of LynX Vision and intelligent lighting, traffic flows in the Volvo Trucks warehouse became significantly safer and more efficient. The results speak for themselves: zero near accidents, clear visual communication on the shop floor, improved efficiency through automatic detection of blockages and misplaced items, full compliance with privacy regulations, and seamless integration with other LynX modules for a complete safety ecosystem.

The Volvo Trucks case proves that technology and safety go hand in hand. Thanks to the smart combination of LynX Vision and intelligent lighting, Multicap offers companies a powerful solution that not only prevents accidents but also boosts efficiency and order in the workplace.
