20. A process that controls an industrial vehicle responsive to encountering working environment tags, the process comprising:
providing a transceiver on an industrial vehicle that communicates over a wireless connection to a remote server;
providing a tag reader mounted on the industrial vehicle, the tag reader configured to read tags detected within a work area proximate to the industrial vehicle as the industrial vehicle is performing an industrial task comprising at least one of a lift operation, a steer operation, or a travel operation;
providing an information processing device on the industrial vehicle, the information processing device communicably coupled to the transceiver, the information processing device further communicably coupled to the tag reader, wherein the information processing device comprises a processor in data communication with memory, the processor programmed for:
receiving an identifier of a tag detected by the tag reader, the tag within the work area proximate to the industrial vehicle while the industrial vehicle is performing the industrial task;
accessing electronically, a predetermined action based upon the identifier of the detected tag; and
communicating 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 so as to affect the performance of the task.
