Sensing in particular environments can present a number of challenges that don’t exist in closequarter, climate-controlled settings. Temperature extremes, precipitation, swirling dust and dirt, objects in motion both near and far, and a variety of surfaces and materials require a device able to sort through it all. There’s one type of device that can resist all these problems and detect only what’s necessary whether indoors or outside—the radar sensor.
- Radar works in extreme temperatures, precipitation, dirt, dust, and low light
- Radar used in Banner sensors can recognize both moving and stationary objects
- Radar doesn’t care about surface color or finish
- Radar works equally well both inside and outdoors
- Different operating frequencies have different advantages
- Radar can be mounted and used in enclosures
- Radar can detect objects through plastic or glass, even if the material is opaque or dirty
- Some radar sensors can focus on the primary target while ignoring other objects
- Radar can measure and detect within a long range
- Radar sensors with a wide beam angle are not thrown off by varying shapes and surfaces
