Why Choose AOS LiDAR Object Detection Systems?

The AOS LiDAR (Advanced Object Detection System) helps to avoid the downtime and costs associated with accidents and vandalism. The system solution offers added value in applications where monitoring with a single sensor just isn’t enough and maximum operational reliability is essential. The solution is based on a safety controller, which runs cyclical tests to check sensor detection behavior, sensor response to entry commands, and that output signals are switching correctly. Thanks to the preconfigured sensors and detection fields that can be adjusted with maximum accuracy, enables the AOS LiDAR to be integrated quickly and easily into a wide range of applications.
