HiVision powered by OmniPro® Vision AI highlights the importance of integrated collision avoidance technology during National Forklift Safety Day
NEWBURGH, Ind. — In recognition of National Forklift Safety Day, Matrix Design Group LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Alliance Resource Partners, L.P. (NASDAQ: ALRP), and Hyundai Material Handling are highlighting a partnership focused on reducing warehouse collisions caused by blind spots, congested aisles and limited operator reaction time.
Through HiVision® powered by OmniPro®, Hyundai and Matrix are integrating edge-based pedestrian, vehicle and object detection into lift truck operations, creating a foundation for safer, more connected and more efficient material handling fleets.
“The value of this technology extends well beyond collision avoidance,” said Mark Watson, CEO of Matrix Design Group. “By integrating OmniPro Vision AI into the lift truck platform, we are helping customers create a foundation for safer operations, better visibility and more productive facilities.”
At MODEX 2026 in Atlanta, Matrix and Hyundai demonstrated the technology on a Hyundai lift truck configuration, showing how the system can identify forward and rear obstacles, escalate visual alerts from green to yellow to red and trigger speed reduction via CAN-bus integration as proximity becomes critical.
“As Hyundai looks ahead, working with Matrix as an official technology partner helps shift the approach from standalone point solutions to a more cohesive strategy,” said Lewis Byers, Executive Vice President and COO of Hyundai Material Handling. “Collision avoidance is the starting point, but the roadmap extends well beyond into a more connected and intelligent machine ecosystem.”
Matrix and Hyundai say the partnership supports safer warehouse operations while helping facilities prepare for smarter fleet technologies and future automation.
