Problem
Traditional safety systems in industrial environments often rely on optical sensors, which can be unreliable due to dust, smoke, swarf, and varying light conditions, leading to false alarms or failures in detecting human presence. This can compromise worker safety and reduce productivity due to unnecessary machine shutdowns.
Solution
Inxpect provides radar-based sensing technology that creates a 3D virtual safety area around machinery, preventing operation when humans are present. Their safety radar sensors are certified to IEC TS 61496-5, ensuring reliable detection even in challenging environmental conditions where optical sensors are ineffective. By utilizing FMCW radar algorithms, the system filters out disturbances caused by dust, smoke, and other environmental factors, minimizing false alarms and maximizing productivity while maintaining a high level of safety. The system is designed for both indoor and outdoor use, offering a robust solution for various industrial applications.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes manufacturers, integrators, and end-users in industrial automation, robotics, and machinery sectors who require reliable and robust safety solutions to protect workers and optimize productivity.
