In this context, Cantina Produttori di Valdobbiadene and Officina Pavan Srl represent a concrete example of a strategic partnership that has integrated Kiwitron’s innovative solutions to improve both safety and operational efficiency.
Key terms:
Stefano Gava – General Manager of Cantina Produttori Valdobbiadene
It was born from the attention Cantina Produttori gives to safety: having an operation where the use of forklifts is a daily occurrence and where activities take place in spaces with potential interferences, we wanted to implement collision prevention systems that are essential for a forward-thinking company that prioritizes safety over profit.
The implementation of these technologies went hand in hand with the modernization of our fleet: we switched to lithium forklifts for better energy savings and to reduce emissions (as operator safety is paramount).
For this operation, we relied on our forklift dealer, Officina Pavan Srl, who already collaborated with Kiwitron and proposed their solution to us.
Moreno Gagno – Administrator of Officina Pavan Srl
We learned about Kiwitron six years ago through a forklift manufacturer. We have completed numerous installations, both for 4.0 certification and for safety. Four years ago, for example, we installed the first KiwiEye on a forklift in a company that needed a safety assistance system after experiencing several incidents in their operational area.
We then proposed KiwiEye, as it can recognize people and slow down forklifts: a solution highly appreciated by the client, solving their problem.
We also proposed this solution to Cantina Produttori di Valdobbiadene, and with the support of Kiwitron’s technical team, we recently completed the delivery of the forklifts.

Certainly, the pedestrian detection without the use of tags and the visual and/or audible signal to the operator in the cab. Not to mention the vehicle slowdown, especially in areas with blind spots.
Moreno Gagno – Administrator of Officina Pavan Srl
Officina Pavan is focused on solving customer problems, and for this reason, we don’t impose limits on ourselves. We strive to be increasingly flexible, which enables us to respond promptly to customer needs.
For these reasons, we seek partners who offer targeted solutions, and Kiwitron is one of them. The solutions that Kiwitron offers for forklift fleet management and safety demonstrate their commitment not only to the product but also to the service.
Today, the market demands excellent service along with a good product.

Safety has become fundamental: operators are aware and understand the importance of technological implementations to ensure their safety and the safety of those working with them.

Because you offer customized solutions, which give us, as end clients, the ability to understand – through data analysis – where the critical areas are and how the machines are being used. These are not static tools; they gather increasingly detailed and valuable information.
Moreno Gagno – Administrator of Officina Pavan Srl
Kiwitron is a very innovative and flexible company, which allows them to create a customized solution for the end customer. Innovation and flexibility, combined with problem-solving and the ability to create new solutions, are very important values to us because they align with our company philosophy.
Another reason we chose Kiwitron is that their products can be installed on all types of forklifts, both new and used. This is also an advantage for customers who bought forklifts a few years ago but want to implement safety and innovative solutions.

In two words: safety and sustainability
First, because the working system cannot afford security breaches, so we will certainly see regulatory measures aimed at standardizing the use of these systems.
Second, companies like ours work on sustainability reports, aiming to reduce energy inputs and outputs. We’ve been doing this since 2019, covering the entire supply chain, from the vineyard to the finished bottle (solar panels and lithium forklifts are just a few examples).
Moreno Gagno – Administrator of Officina Pavan Srl
The trend is shifting towards rentals, where the customer receives a package of vehicles combined with services and safety solutions. Promoting workplace safety, even for small businesses with a few forklifts, is becoming our daily mission.
Sustainability is also becoming increasingly important in our sector. Today, lithium batteries are being produced, which offer a better environmental impact as they emit no gases and require minimal maintenance.
Another advantage over lead-acid batteries is that charging costs are lower, and they can be charged at different times of the day.
The future is investment, and investing in strategic partnerships is the key to long-term success.
