Application Distance Measurement
Robust radar sensor technology for distance measurements
Symeo radar sensors enable precise distance measurements for a broad range of applications. The position of electric overhead traveling cranes (EOTs) can be precisely detected in steel works with a single pair of sensors for instance. Two sensors are also sufficient to track the location of open pit mining stackers with centimeter-accuracy and in realtime over a distance of more than 1,000 meters. And using only one sensor, the distance to a wide variety of reflective targets can be precisely measured..
The Real Time Location Systems (RTLS) work with patented Symeo® LPR radar technology and operate interference-free in outdoor environments even if they are exposed to sun, heavy precipitation, fog, or dirt and grime. Local Positioning Radar sensors operate in the license-free ISM radio bands. Adjacent wireless data networks can be run at the same time without the risk of interference.
All sensors feature an extremely robust design and are easy to install. They can be quickly configured and commissioned via a modern WebUI.
