Radar sensors at IFAT 2024

Automation in water, sewage, waste, and raw materials management requires sensor technology. But optical and acoustic sensors often fail under harsh conditions. From May 13 to 17, 2024, Symeo will be presenting solutions that replace more vulnerable sensor systems with radar at stand C1.532 at Messe München using two sensor systems and a demonstrator.

Symeo products at IFAT 2024:

• LPR-1DHP-350 as a replacement for ultrasonic and laser sensors. Measuring just 90 x × 90 x × 35 mm, it can also be installed where there is otherwise no space for a radar system.
• LPR-1DHP-291 for precise real-time distance measurement up to 50 meters with a single sensor and up to 500 meters in combination with multiple sensors.

At the IFAT booth a demonstrator enables visitors to experience how radar works safely under adverse conditions such as smoke, dust, and fog, even where other sensor technologies fail. A sensor measures the distance to a moving reflector through boxes in which, for example, rain or a snowstorm are simulated.
