  • Laser Scanner vs. Light Grids: Which is More Reliable for High-Speed Door Safety Protection?

    High-speed automatic doors improve passage efficiency for cargo entrances and exit in industries such as manufacturing, logistics and warehousing. However, due to their high operating speed, they introduce potential safety risks for people or vehicles passing through. This article introduces two main types of sensors used for high-speed doors safety protection, light grid and laser scanning sensors. We explain their difference in terms of accuracy, immunity, and functionality. The LZR®-WIDESCAN, laser scanning sensor from BEA, stands out for its high accuracy, environmental independence, user friendly installation and maintenance. Read this article to understand the advantages of laser scanning sensors over light grid and how LZR®-WIDESCAN ensures safety while improving efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.

    How to Ensure the Safety of the Automatic Revolving Doors?

    A revolving door is an ideal choice of entry and exit for buildings with high aesthetic requirements, such as hotels and large high-grade shopping malls. Besides the comfort and safety of people moving in & out, a revolving door can reduce noise, dust, and energy consumption by isolating indoor and outdoor environments with its "Always Open, Always Close" feature. It can also help with controlling the flow of people effectively when the crowd is relatively large in some scenarios, like the entrance of a hotel. Aesthetic and convenience are very important, but the safety of pedestrians is even more critical. The danger zones vary for different types of doors. In this article, we would like to share: What are the danger zones for automatic revolving doors? How to Ensure the Safety of Automatic Revolving Doors in each Danger Zone? What safety sensors can help you avoid the above automatic revolving door safety risks?

  • How Do Sensors Help Shopping Malls Stay ‘Cool’, Smart While Reducing Cost?

    Energy efficiency in commercial buildings is critical in today’s market. Entrances are one of the weak spots in commercial buildings especially when it comes to saving energy. Doors open and close many times a day, making it difficult to maintain indoor climates. Thanks to the unidirectional radar technology, automatic doors not only open smoothly and comfortably, but the duration of the door opening cycle is also relatively short. Thus, heat loss from the building is reduced, which in turn improves energy / thermal efficiency. Read more to explore how sensors optimize parallel traffic and enable the door to Close Sooner, helping shopping malls protect pedestrian safety while improving Energy/ Thermal Efficiency.
