Radar Solutions for Vehicle Detection, Collision Avoidance, & Positioning Feedback

No moving parts, durable, less downtime Long sensing range Benefits of Radar Sensing Resistant to wind, rain, snow, fog and sunlight Wide operating range to function in extreme outdoor environmentsDetects moving and stationary objects Operating Frequency The longer wavelength of 24 GHz radar makes it the most robust solution for ignoring heavy falling rain and snow, while the shorter wavelength of 122 GHz radar provides more precise measurements and allows it to detect a wider range of targets, including the weak targets that 24 GHz typically cannot sense. 24 GHz • Long range • Most robust...

Collision Avoidance In many industries including ports, mining, and agriculture, mobile equipment is a large investment and if damaged, results in downtime and requires costly repair or replacement. Banner Engineering's radar sensors are the perfect rugged solution for collision avoidance applications, 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. (Indoor) Overhead Crane in...

Crane-to-Crane Proximity Detection RTG Collision Avoidance Challenge When multiple cranes are moving in tight spaces, it's imperative to ignore adjacent shipping containers while reliably detecting the presence of another crane or obstacle to activate stop or warning signals for the operator. Solution ■ The Q240R radar sensor is ideal for monitoring a specific area without detecting adjacent objects, featuring a very narrow 11° by 13° beam pattern ■ With two independent adjustable sensing zones, the sensor provides far and near proximity warning signs with the capability to detect objects...

Vehicle Detection and Profiling 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 since 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 management. Application needs and deployment requirements can be diverse, ranging from...

Boats on Waterways, Locks and Dams; Shipyard Logistics Train Detection Including Flatbeds and Tank Cars To establish and maintain an efficient operating routine, all vessel traffic must be monitored as it enters and exits ports. Ship detection can be difficult because of local wind and wave conditions, ship size/type, and close range noise. Sensing solutions must accurately detect a ship’s arrival. Railways present many difficulties for sensing equipment. The harsh and dirty environment is extra challenging. Passing trains create high winds and kick up dirt. Proper identification of the...

Vehicle Detection and Profiling Trucks pass the inspection zone, where radar sensors activate cameras to verify the cargo matches the corresponding customs declaration information. Reliably detecting a vehicle in a carwash can be problematic. Steam, fog, water spray, and temperature changes are challenging for many sensors. ■ he QT50R radar sensor is installed to sense large T vehicles ■ he T30R can ignore fog, steam, and water to reliably T detect the vehicle ■ he adjustable sensing field allows it to ignore objects T ■ he IP67-rated housing dependably operates in a T ■ he rugged IP67...

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 impact the reliability of other sensor technology. The Banner radar provides 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 equipment, such as reach stackers and container...

Now the radar sensor is ready to begin detecting targets. ■ Easily monitor status via the software or bright on-board LED indicators ■ Visualize the application in real-time ■ Make adjustments to settings on the fly Navigation Toolbar Live Sensor Data...

Sensors use two independent, adjustable sensing zones and operate at 122 GHz, which enables higher precision measurements with a narrow beam pattern up to 15 meters away. Bridges the Gap Between Radar & Ultrasonics ■ Compact, rugged IP67 housing for dependable, long-term operation in harsh environments ■ Detects a wider range of targets than traditional 24 GHz radar including reliable detection of high-dielectric materials as well as lower dielectric materials like non-ferrous metals, wood, rock, or organic material ■ Dual discrete outputs for slow and stop positions or analog and IO-Link...
