Abstract

A system is provided that controls an industrial vehicle responsive to encountering working environment tags. The system comprises a transceiver and a tag reader mounted on the industrial vehicle. Also, the system comprises an information processing device communicably coupled to the transceiver and the tag reader. The information processing device comprises a processor in data communication with memory. In this regard, the processor is programmed to receive an identifier of a tag detected by the tag reader while the industrial vehicle is being operated within a work environment, and access electronically, a predetermined action based upon the identifier of the detected tag. The processor is further programmed to communicate information across a vehicle network bus to at least one electronic component of the industrial vehicle to perform the predetermined action, wherein the predetermined action automatically modifies a working state of the industrial vehicle.
