The Blaxtair Checklist from Arcure BLAXTAIR digitizes the mandatory pre-start safety inspection for forklifts, construction machinery, and industrial vehicles. Instead of paper forms that can be skipped, lost, or pencil-whipped, operators work through a customized tablet-based checklist covering machine-specific safety points — tyres, fluid leaks, fork wear, visibility, warning devices — before the vehicle will start. Responses are logged securely in the cloud, creating an auditable trail that satisfies OSHA, HSE, and site-level compliance requirements without administrative overhead.

How does the vehicle interlock enforce inspection compliance?

The defining operational feature of Blaxtair Checklist is its ability to control vehicle start-up based on inspection results. If an operator flags a critical defect — a damaged tyre, a hydraulic leak, a missing warning beacon — the system can prevent the ignition or starter circuit from engaging. Simultaneously, it notifies the maintenance team with the specific failure and machine ID. Non-critical observations allow start-up but log the issue for scheduled repair. This shifts pre-start inspection from an easily bypassed paperwork exercise to a physical gate that enforces the safety protocol.

How does Blaxtair Checklist integrate with the wider Blaxtair safety ecosystem?

Blaxtair Checklist can operate as a standalone system or integrate with Blaxtair Pedestrian Detection — an AI camera-based system that detects pedestrians in real time around operating forklifts with a latency of 200 ms and fewer than one false alarm per day, certified to ISO 16001 and VDI 4482. When paired, the Checklist confirms the vehicle and its safety systems are fit for operation, while the detection system protects people in the operating zone. Data from both feed into Blaxtair Connect, a cloud dashboard that maps collision risk hotspots, tracks compliance rates, and supports continuous site safety improvement.
