With the rapid growth of e-commerce and smart logistics, modern warehouses face increasing demands, including high-density inventory management, rapid order picking, and fully automated material handling. Linpowave 60GHz mmWave radar provides precise, non-contact monitoring solutions, ensuring safety, operational efficiency, and intelligent workflow management in autonomous warehouses and logistics systems.
Enhancing Safety and Operational Efficiency
Traditional warehouse monitoring systems rely on cameras, LiDAR, or ultrasonic sensors. However, these solutions often struggle under challenging conditions, such as low light, dust, smoke, or obstructed views, leading to blind spots or inaccurate tracking. Linpowave industrial mmWave radar overcomes these limitations by penetrating minor obstructions and providing real-time detection of autonomous forklifts, AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles), and warehouse personnel.
Key benefits include:
-
Real-time collision prevention: Detects proximity between moving vehicles and personnel with millimeter-level accuracy.
-
High-precision object detection: Accurately measures position, size, and movement of inventory for intelligent picking and sorting.
-
All-weather reliability: Radar performance remains consistent despite lighting, dust, smoke, or environmental noise.
-
360-degree monitoring capability: Covers blind spots that cameras or LiDAR may miss, providing comprehensive spatial awareness.
