Every site has different traffic, safety and duty-cycle demands. Below are the environments we supply most often — with the model we recommend for each, and footage from live installations.
Forklifts, pallet trucks and pedestrians share the same doorway — and the door has to stay open for the vehicle while never closing on a person. People/vehicle separation radar reads the size and approach direction of the target and opens the door only for vehicles, so pedestrians passing alongside no longer trigger unnecessary cycles. This also removes the need to cut inductive loops into the dock floor.
High-speed doors cycle thousands of times per day, and a missed trigger stops the production line. Motion radar mounted at 2.5–10 m detects approaching vehicles early enough for the door to be fully open on arrival, while cross-traffic masking ignores traffic passing parallel to the opening. Full-open and half-open modes let you keep the door partially raised for frequent forklift runs and cut energy loss.
The classic failure mode at a barrier is the arm dropping onto a vehicle. A 60 GHz anti-crush radar mounted on the barrier housing keeps watching the zone directly beneath the arm and holds it open while anything is present — independent of ground loops, and unaffected by heat shimmer, rain or low sun. The 60 GHz band gives a narrow, precisely shaped beam that ignores adjacent lanes.
Activation radar opens the door — but the closing edge still needs protection. A laser safety curtain or spot sensor covers the full door width at centimetre resolution and stops or reverses the door the moment anything enters the zone. Pairing a Pluto radar with an LS90 laser sensor is the standard combination we ship for high-speed industrial doors.
Automated guided vehicles have no driver to press a button and no tolerance for a door that fails to open. Radar detection is triggered purely by the vehicle's approach, works through plastic and composite AGV bodies, and holds the opening for as long as the vehicle occupies the zone. Direction recognition prevents the door from reacting to traffic moving away.
Hotels, malls, hospitals and office lobbies need both smooth activation and certified safety at the revolving wings, drum and surrounding zones. Laser curtains cover the wing and heel-of-wing areas where mechanical edges cannot help, while microwave activation sensors handle approach detection at the entrance.
