Empty bay detection (1D) with the help of photoelectric proximity sensors or distance sensors on AGVs

With load carriers of the same type, the occupancy of the bay can be detected easily and economically with a photoelectric proximity sensor. Sensors from the PowerProx product family are suitable depending on the application. In addition, the Dx35 distance sensor can also be used for exact determination of the distance to the object.
