Security & Surveillance

Industry 4.0, smart factory and smart cities are the keywords of the technology of the present and future days. In this growing market, technologies capable of perceive the environment autonomously operating without being dependent on weather, temperature and light condition are increasingly in demand. Radar technology is well suited among laser, infrared, thermic or visible cameras. In fact, radar is a very robust technology for both indoor and outdoor use. Radars are completely independent of ambient and object temperatures, they can operate in dirt, rain, fog and snow conditions. Also, a radar cannot record nor stores any image of people, making such technology fully compliant with any privacy protection laws. Radar technology is thereby becoming increasingly important and the technical possibilities and requirements are rapidly evolving. The main functionalities of radar technologies allow for the measurement of distance, speed, direction of movement and angular position of objects or people with single or multi-target capability. Such functionalities enable the radar use for many applications: 

  • Transport: road traffic optimization and management, parking space monitoring, tracking is also used to determine the movement behavior of vehicles. All these information contribute to increase safety and efficiency in road traffic.
  • Security: motion detectors in alarm systems, access controls, moving people or object counting. Also, open area, critical infrastructure, boundaries and fences can be monitored and protected. Thus, the number or direction of movement can be provided and the permissible objects limited through the large detection area of the radars.
  • Level metering: level of solids and liquids can be measured with high accuracy. This enables radar to be used in tanks, pipes and also in open areas to measure levels and tides in harbors, lakes and rivers. Not only the water level, but also the flow speed can be measured, even in challenging environments.
