Intralogistics

Our products at a glance:

Radar systems

• The advantage of radar technology over other sensor concepts such as LiDAR is its impressive resistance to adverse weather and environmental influences such as rain, fog, or dust.
• With our off-highway premium radar system, we offer a robust sensor with high performance from our automotive portfolio, adapted to the needs of the construction machinery market.
• The high-resolution radar produces a point cloud with a resolution that is ten times higher than earlier system generations. As a result, objects that are positioned very close together in the detection area (x, y, and z coordinates) can be distinguished with even greater accuracy.

Ultrasonic sensors

• Our ultrasonic systems for construction machinery cover a wide detection range (up to 360° panoramic view) with up to twelve ultrasonic sensors.
• Depending on the configuration, the sensors measure only the distance or also offer object localization.
• The safety function with performance level D according to ISO 13849 includes the distances recorded by the sensors using direct echoes.

Camera heads

• Mono cameras with 3-megapixel resolution for integrators and OEMs
• State-of-the-art FPD and GMSL interface
