Material Handling

Vehicle Detection at a Loading Dock

To detect when a truck backs up to a dock, triggering a light inside the warehouse that signals the truck's arrival

Material Handling

In large factory operations, it is common for AC power to be used as the primary power source for all conveyors and machines. It can be costly and inconvenient if a separate DC power supply is needed to power the sensors used to monitor the wide variety of processes taking place on the factory floor.

In this application, a durable, versatile sensor is needed to detect corrugated cardboard stacks as they pass on an AC powered conveyor.

Baggage Handling

To detect the presence of luggage on an airline conveyor

Conveyor Jam Detection

When packages of various shapes and sizes move down a conveyor belt, it is imperative that they continue to move so as not to create potential delays or damage due to a jam.

Bin Picking for Order Fulfillment

To guide a book packer to the next item on the order and to confirm the pick

Carton Detection

To sense boxes anywhere across the width of a roller conveyor, when sensing is only possible from under the conveyor

Carton Height Measurement

To accurately measure the height of parcels passing on a conveyor

Carton Sizing

To measure height, length and width of boxes for storage and to collect cubing information for shipping

Carton Width Measurement

To measure the widths of boxes on a conveyor

Counting Bolts Leaving a Feeder

To count bolts dispensed from a feeder bowl

Crane Guidance

To stop a crane at the proper distance from a load it is picking up

Crane Position Monitoring

To verify the position of an overhead bridge crane, on two axes

Large Container Detection

To detect the presence of large containers moving on a conveyor

Loading Dock Sensor Monitoring

To use the same device to signal the presence of a truck and to open the dock door

Mail Sorting for Bundling

To identify the mark that indicates the end of a mailing bundle

Mail Sorting for Size

To separate air mail letters from parcels in an automated airfreight operation

Mobile Automated Rack Detection

To control the position of mobile storage racks and detect whether an automated fork-lift truck is located between the racks

Multiple Box Profiling

To measure the height and length of a box on a conveyor

Retrofitting for Pallet Detection

When you need to replace sensors to detect the presence of pallets on a conveyor it's important to keep costs down and maintain a high level of accuracy in your pallet detection application.

Pallet Shrink-Wrapping Detection

To inspect objects being shrink-wrapped for product presence/absence, to trigger the wrapping mechanism to reverse and complete the shrink-wrap process

Parcel Detection

To sense random-sized parcels on a roller conveyor

Part Pick Verification for Order Fulfillment

To guide the assembler to the part to pick and to indicate the pick was made

Shipping Label Detection on Cartons

To detect the presence or absence of a white label on a cardboard carton

Emergency Stop Buttons on a Conveyor

As products move down the conveyor, Emergency Stop (E-Stop) buttons are linked 8 to 10 feet apart to ensure all areas of the conveyor are covered in case of an emergency. In an emergency, operators press the red button of the E-Stop to immediately shut down the machine. It can be time-consuming to determine exactly what E-stop button is pressed, and typically an emergency stop condition requires a reset of all the E-Stop buttons.
