ArcBest Introduces Vaux Vision and Enhancements to Vaux Technology Suite

ArcBest, an integrated logistics company, announced the introduction of its latest technology offering, Vaux Vision, which is currently in the pilot phase. Vaux Vision transforms forklifts into intelligent mobile dimensioners to improve material handling efficiencies. This adds to the company’s suite of advanced technology solutions.

ArcBest has also expanded its existing technologies, the Vaux Freight Movement System and Vaux Smart Autonomy, enhancing their value for customers across various industries, including verticals like data centers, automotive, manufacturing, retail and air cargo.

Vaux Vision is 3D perception technology designed to streamline material handling by providing precise, real-time freight measurement and insight directly on a forklift. With sensors placed strategically on the forklift that activate upon picking up the freight, the technology captures dimensions, images, and deep shipment insight on the go, identifying revenue opportunities and enhancing operational efficiencies without disrupting workflow. Operators receive real-time feedback on a tablet, and data is stored securely in the cloud. The technology can handle freight of various shapes and sizes, not limited to standard pallets.

Vaux Vision is NTEP (National Type Evaluation Program) certified and features a touch screen operator display and barcode scanning capabilities. It integrates seamlessly with the Vaux OS as well as new or existing weight scales. Other capabilities include:

Capturing photos of freight during pick and drop to improve visibility and transparency
Utilizing AI to determine attributes like damage, HazMat, stackable, fragile and leaning
Tracking the piece ID or pallet barcode

In addition to Vaux Vision, ArcBest also announced updates to its previously released solutions, introducing more equipment sizes and performance enhancements. These updates were driven by customer feedback across several customer verticals.
