Industrial Applications

1. High-Speed Packaging Line Conveying

Used along secondary packaging conveyors to count and verify the presence of shiny poly-wrapped or foil-lined boxes at rates of up to 500 Hz.

Problem Solved

The integrated polarization filter prevents false reflections from high-gloss materials, ensuring accurate counts without double-triggering.

2. Cold Storage Facility Bin Presence Detection

Mounted on automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) operating inside refrigerated or cold warehouses to verify the position of tote bins.

Problem Solved

The broad temperature rating down to -40 °C ensures reliable operation in deep-freeze environments, avoiding the standard sensor failures caused by extreme cold.
