Radar Sensor Solutions

Radar Sensing The ultimate outdoor sensing solution Benefits of Radar Sensing Resistant to wind, rain, snow, fog, and sunlight Beam Pattern Considerations Long sensing range No moving parts, durable, less downtime Radar sensors are available in narrow and wide beam patterns. Narrow beam patterns avoid false detection of objects outside of the region of interest and allow for a more precise measurement. Wide beam patterns provide coverage of larger areas and provide more reliable detection of irregular surfaces and targets presented at steep angles. Narrow Beam Applications • Drive-thru •...

Vehicle Detection Radar sensors use Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) technology to reliably detect targets, including cranes, cars, trains, trucks, and cargo in extreme weather conditions. FMCW radar is an ideal solution for these applications because it can detect moving and stationary objects in all weather conditions. The ability to reliably detect vehicles offers significant advantages for asset management, resource allocation, site safety, traffic control, and loading-dock monitoring. Application needs and deployment requirements can be diverse, ranging from indoor, outdoor,...

Vehicle Detection (continued) Positioning Feedback Precise positioning of industrial equipment is important to prevent damage and reduce downtime, but challenging environmental conditions including rain, snow, fog, sun, and wind can make it difficult for operators to see and can have an impact on the reliability of other sensor technology. Banner radar devices provide reliable outdoor performance and the 122 GHz models provide the accurate measurements and short deadzones often required for these applications. Dual discrete outputs are available for slow and stop positions for port...

Collision Avoidance In many industries including ports, mining, and agriculture, mobile equipment is a large investment, and damage to that equipment results in downtime and requires costly repair or replacement. Banner Engineering's radar sensors are the perfect rugged solution for collision avoidance, even in harsh outdoor conditions. Sensing functions are unaffected by wind, rain or snow, fog, sunlight, humidity, and fluctuating air temperatures. The sensors also utilize a robust steady-state design that is more durable than laser products with moving parts. Reliable Forklift Collision...

Tank-Level Monitoring Banner Measurement Sensor Software Overview Storage tanks, totes, and containers can be found in a wide variety of environments, from indoor or outdoor installations to above or below ground deployments. Properly monitoring and managing levels inside these tanks can help owners and asset managers increase productivity and profitability. The Banner Measurement Sensor Software and Pro-Kit with Converter Cable allow for easy setup and configuration of range, sensitivity, and output. • Get up and running in three easy steps: simply set the switch point distance, signal...
