Radar Sensors for Industrial Market
mmWave radat sensors because of their cost effectiveness, all weather use, and respect for privacy, find ever greater use in many industrial applications. These include presence detection, building automation, access control, intelligent management of street lighting and traffic signals, automatic door opening controls, gesture recognition applications which can assist people with different disabilities.
Azcom has already developed solutions for many application domains which can accelerate a customer product development. We also have an expert and experienced team which can help develop a complete sensor solution development for other application scenarios
Smart Automated Door
Azcon Smart Automated Door sensor solution accurately detects people presence between doors, or even in area around them.
It can also detect movement including direction of movement. Most of the current automated door opener sensors do not detect the direction of movement. As such doors open even when a person is just passing by. With Azcom solution, a customer can implement feature when doors open only when a person is trying to enter / exit, and not just passing by. This leads to significant energy saving in buildings, public places like train stations, airports. Similarly for elevators, doors do not close as long a person is trying to enter or exit or present between the doors. Similarly, when applied to elevators, the doors do not close when a person is trying to enter or exit or is present between the doors.
Indoor Occupancy Monitoring
Azcom Indoor Occupancy Monitoring solution can detect presence of people inside meeting rooms, corridors, shops, or any type of close space or demarcated zone (sensor range). As there are no privacy concerns, they can also be deployed in locker rooms, toilets.The solution can also detect level of occupancy inside a closed space. Many countries do not allow video camera installation in work or public places without authorization because of privacy issues. Radar sensors can safely be deployed in such cases. This permits deployment many features for safety, energy saving, and a wide range of other applications.
Outdoor Areas Monitoring
Azcom Technology presence monitoring solutions can be extended to outdoor areas leading to development of applications in areas like smart lighting, intelligent traffic signals, hazardous areas protection, intrusion detection, restricted access. mmWave radar sensors can efficiently work in adverse weather conditions like fog, low lights, dense rain, and as such more effective compared to those based on video surveillance.
Gesture Recognition
mmWave radar sensors are very versatile and can detect even small movements of fingers, hands or arms. Thanks to now widely available sophisticated artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms, it is possible to detect and catalogue a wide range of gestures with a very high degree of accuracy and build applications around them. Again, compared to video systems like cameras, radar sensors guarantee privacy and so applicable in much wider context.
Other Applications with Radar Sensors
MmWave radar sensors can be adopted in a wide range of sensing applications. Azcom Technology offering of value-added R&D services helps customers developing solutions for different domains based on this technology.
