Abstract
A computer-implemented method for providing a warning including the steps: obtaining data relating to the location of a hazardous object and obtaining data relating to the location of a material handling machine. The computer to compare the location of the material handling machine to the location of the hazardous object and estimates a probability of a hazardous event occurring. If the estimate exceeds a threshold valve, a warning is issued by the computer.

A computer-implemented method for providing a warning including the steps:
- obtaining data relating to the location of an object;
- obtaining data relating to the location of a material handling machine;
- estimating a probability of damage occurring by using the computer to compare the location of the material handling machine to the location of the object;
- providing, via the material handling machine, a warning, based on the estimate, to an operator of the material handling machine, the warning comprising an alarm;
- and
- determining the type of the material handling machine, and wherein estimating the probability of the damage occurring is based on the type of the material handling machine.
A material handling machine including:
- a processor that is configured to:
- receive data relating to the location of an object and data relating to the location of the material handling machine;
- compare the location of the material handling machine and the location of the object;
- estimate a probability of damage occurring based on the comparison;
- and
- provide a warning based on the estimate to a user of the material handling machine, the warning comprising an alarm.
A system for providing a warning including:
- a processor that is configured to:
- receive data relating to the location of an object and data relating to the location of a material handling machine;
- compare the location of the material handling machine and the location of the object;
- estimate a probability of damage occurring based on the comparison;
- and
- provide, via the material handling machine, a warning based on the estimate to a user of the material handling machine, the warning comprising an alarm.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which when executed by a processor causes the processor to execute the steps of:
- comparing data relating to the location of an object and data relating to the location of a material handling machine;
- estimating the probability of damage occurring based on the comparing;
- and
- providing, to a user of the material handling machine, a warning based on the estimate, the warning comprising an alarm.
