The advantages of radar over other sensor technologies lie in its ruggedness. Radar sensors can reliably detect objects within their range, regardless of harsh environmental conditions, and can even analyze or provide the speed of the object. As a result, radar sensors in the SICK portfolio are commonly used in ports and industrial mining sites to prevent collisions, especially in adverse weather conditions or polluted environments. They are essential for collision prevention and distance measurement in large and mobile systems like gantry cranes, ship-to-shore cranes in ports, and booms of open pit excavators and dump trucks in the mining industry.
