Anti-collision of cranes during material handling
During the material handling process, multiple cranes are used. Without proper protection and warning systems, cranes on the same runway can collide with one another. Using time-of-flight technology, a mid range distance measurement sensor mounted on each side of each crane is able to reliably detect approaching cranes and stationary walls up to 50 m away. Reflective tape is affixed to each crane. Able to operate in temperatures up to +65 °C and with a tough die-cast metal housing, this sensor is ideal in logistics areas. Alternatively, long range distance or ultrasonic sensors can also solve this task.
