Abstract: Systems and methods for creating route for powered industrial vehicles are provided. In one embodiment, the system includes a route generation module configured to determine route data based on facility layout data and historical usage data. The system also includes a PIV equipped with various sensors and a user interface module configured to allow selective access to the operative components of the PIV.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing powered industrial vehicles are provided. In one embodiment, the system includes an analyzer module configured to determine route data based on facility layout data. The system also includes a dispatch management module configured to receive a request to transport cargo from a first location to a second location in the warehouse, and a surface visibility module configured to track the cargo after it is transferred from the first location to the second location by receiving scanned barcode data from the cargo via a scanner connected to a wireless network.

Abstract: Systems and methods for creating in a facility on-demand routes for powered industrial vehicles to transport cargo efficiently. In one embodiment, an on-demand route generation module receives receiving a request to move cargo. The module analyzes data about the current location, the current tasking, and the driver availability of PIVs in operation. Based on the information, the module creates an on-demand route through the facility and sends a notification to an assigned PIV to pick up the cargo and carry it on the defined on-demand route.
