STS Collision Avoidance
Application: Preventing crane collisions
Challenges: Outdoor environment with unpredictable weather
Solution: Q120R Series Radar Sensor
Benefits: Radar technology is not affected by changes in weather, air condition, or light
Large cranes are typically made of very heavy-duty material that is in close proximity to one another. Collision among the cranes would require costly repairs and replacements. In order to prevent these collisions from happening, a solution is needed that can detect the cranes and warn operators of impending danger.
Description
Radar sensors are ideal in an environment where large cranes operate with dual detection zones to activate stop or warning signals. With an adjustable sensing range up to 24 m and two independent adjustable sensing zones, the sensor is easily configured for many applications.
Not only is radar technology a cost-effective way to protect expensive equipment and cargo, it is also immune to wind, rain, fog, light, humidity or air temperatures.
