How Pilz Wants to Capture Movements in Intralogistics with Radar
Three Functions in One System
The Presence Detection identifies whether people or objects are within the monitored area. Pilz cites applications such as difficult-to-see areas. The system can indicate that a zone is not yet clear if a person is still present.
With the Counting function, the sensor counts people and moving objects within defined areas. According to the manufacturer, this also allows for determining whether a monitored area has been completely cleared.
The tracking function continuously assigns movements to people and objects and analyzes their directions of movement. This allows information about traffic flows to be obtained. In intralogistics areas, according to Pilz, the function is intended to help avoid collisions and optimize routes and material flows.
Detection without Tags and Transponders
The detection is radar-based and contactless. According to the manufacturer, people or vehicles do not need to be equipped with tags, transponders, or reflectors for this.
According to Pilz, "PSENradar live" also does not require any additional infrastructure or equipment for detection. This eliminates the organizational effort of equipping the individuals and vehicles to be tracked with the corresponding components. The manufacturer also cites this as a factor for lower investment and maintenance costs.
Movement data for intralogistics areas
By combining the three functions, the system provides information on whether and how many people or moving objects are present in defined areas and in which direction they are moving.
Pilz sees this, among other things, as a basis for planning traffic flows in intralogistics. At the same time, monitoring areas is intended to help determine whether there are still people or objects present in those areas.
