Q-Wave™
Speed Control & Safety Simplified.
The simplest, most direct way to enforce speed limits on industrial vehicles — automatically, without relying on the operator to make the right decision under pressure.

Zone Speed
Enforcement.
Directional RF transmitters define zones at overhead doors, pedestrian crossings, or any transition point. The Q-Wave machine control module enforces a preset throttle limit (0–100%) the moment the vehicle enters the zone.
No GPS. No network dependency. No operator action required. The moment your cart enters the building, it physically cannot exceed the indoor limit.
- Broad vehicle compatibility: forklifts, tuggers, golf carts — gas, diesel, propane, electric
- Zone-based RF control — no fine-tuning or data processing required
- Instant response to enforce safer speeds at zone entry
- Plug-and-play setup for transmitters and speed controller
- Works with legacy carts with no available documentation
- Upgrade-ready: Q-Wave hardware reused when moving to QUWB-GPS
“Zone-based speed control that enforces the limit — not advises it. The moment your cart enters the building, it physically cannot exceed the indoor limit.”
What It Does
RF beacons at entry/exit points trigger automatic throttle enforcement. Full speed outside; enforced limit inside. Same behavior every shift, every operator.
What It Doesn’t Do
Q-Wave does not collect operational data or provide location tracking. Zone precision is limited compared to QUWB-GPS. For facilities that need data and full precision, Q-Wave hardware carries forward to QUWB-GPS at no additional cost.
200 Vehicles.
10+ Brands.
Zero Shutdowns.
A global aerospace manufacturer operating 200 electric vehicles across 60+ brands on a 600-acre campus. Collective bargaining agreement allowed any employee to halt production upon observing unsafe cart behavior. Near-miss incidents averaged 4.2/month — each a potential $150K production shutdown.
Q-Wave SpeedNFORCE deployed RF beacons at every overhead door. Carts automatically enforce 25% speed indoors, run at 100% outdoors. Legacy carts with no available documentation were reverse-engineered by Quarion engineers.
“Quarion gave us an automated way to protect our workforce without sacrificing mobility. The system works flawlessly across our mixed-model fleet. Since go-live we’ve seen a dramatic drop in near-misses and zero production stops.”
