Sensor solutions from SICK
When you have to keep your distance on board
Classification societies have introduced a new certification for preventing infection in the maritime industry. SICK offers assistance with intelligent LiDAR sensor technology combined with the new SICK SensorApps PeopleCounter and DistanceGuard to help shipping companies satisfy health requirements. By counting persons in defined free and closed spaces and by ensuring the recommended minimum distance, SICK offers sensor solutions that do not process personal information. Shipowners thus also ensure compliance with data protection regulations. Due to the complexity of a ship, stricter hygiene standards are nearly impossible to uphold without technical support. SICK has created new solutions for this challenge that shipping companies can use to keep an eye on the maximum utilization of areas and the minimum distance between persons.
The PeopleCounter − finding free space
The number of people can be counted immediately with each scan to determine how many people are on the pool deck, in a restaurant, in an elevator or in the entertainment section. The area can be defined to fit the requirements. The PeopleCounter is a SensorApp developed by SICK that enables anonymous data processing and differentiation of people from objects. The MRS1000 3D LiDAR sensor generates the measurement data and the integrated app reliably identifies people using their contours. This means only people are counted, while objects are blanked out. Specific personal information is not recorded during the process. Thanks to the four layers of the sensor, the directions of movement of people are clearly identified and the current utilization of defined zones can be monitored, even large areas with different entrances and exits. The recorded data is output via telegrams and digital outputs.
The DistanceGuard − preventing crowds
The DistanceGuard SensorApp, in combination with the TiM8xx 2D LiDAR sensor, can detect the distance between two people. This is especially useful in environments with recommended minimum distances between people. As soon as the minimum distance is undercut, an optical or acoustic signal can be triggered via output.
SICK offers more for the security of people and ships
- Protection against intruders or unjustified access to closed areas.
- Detection of people flow with movement profiles in real time to divert passengers, for example in congested escape routes.
- Monitoring of entry barriers and access points which only authorized persons may pass.
With over 40,000 products and its intelligent solutions, SICK is not only at home in maritime environments. SICK is one of the world’s leading solutions providers for sensor-based applications in factory, logistics and process automation.
