Why Cloud AI Always Fails Forklift Safety

The 2-Second Trap

A forklift traveling at 10mph covers 14.6 feet in one second.

When a standard camera transmits a frame to the cloud, the H.264 encode, ISP transmission, cloud ingestion, model inference, and reverse TCP alert payload typically takes 1.8 to 2.4 seconds on commercial networks.

In that window, the forklift has traveled 35 feet.

The Edge Necessity

To arrest machine momentum, visual intelligence must be processed locally natively on the VMS hardware bus. Dhi achieves inference inside 150 milliseconds.
