Encirc Taps Powerfleet to Automate Safety at UK Glass Plants

To mitigate the inherent dangers of high-volume manufacturing where forklifts and pedestrians share the same floor, glass container giant Encirc has deployed Powerfleet’s Unity platform. The AI-driven system integrates video surveillance and equipment data to provide site managers with predictive intelligence aimed at preventing workplace transport accidents before they occur.

Encirc Taps Powerfleet to Automate Safety at UK Glass Plants

Encirc produces over three billion glass containers annually, serving 18 of the UK's top 20 wine brands. Within these massive, fast-paced facilities, the company is standardizing its safety protocols by unifying operator performance and equipment telemetry into a single workflow. This transition allows site leadership to move beyond reactive measures, utilizing real-time data to identify and neutralize risks in complex production environments.

Steve Towe, CEO of Powerfleet, noted that major industrial players are increasingly seeking measurable safety intelligence to protect their workforce. Louise Reeves, Head of Health, Safety & Environment at Encirc, emphasized that the adoption of AI video technology is a strategic move to lower the severity of transport incidents. By digitizing their safety controls, the manufacturer aims to maintain high production speeds without compromising the well-being of its personnel.
