Another safety-relevant area is access control. So that only authorized people can access the corresponding areas, the RAM security system from SICK reads people’s transponders and only permits access to those who are authorized. The system automatically identifies without contact based on electromagnetic waves. Thanks to the RFID system’s large scanning range, persons are detected in advance and doors open at the right time. This protection can also be used, for example, on the bulkheads of machine rooms or at the entrance to the bridge.
The TiM781S 2D LiDAR sensor is the perfect choice for facilitating the navigation of service robots on the decks of ships. With its combination of a protective field evaluation function and reliable measurement data streaming, the sensor makes non-contact person and object detection possible. As a result, the robots are basically continuously available, can dynamically respond to changes, and flexibly adjust their route based on their environment. This allows for around-the-clock service for passengers in bars, restaurants or on the pool deck, for example. Drinks can be ordered from the bar via an app and the robot brings the order directly to the correct guest.
