Summary
Sensors are an integral component in many mobile off-highway equipment systems. Emerging machine standards such as EN280 and functional safety standards like SIL2/PLd will increase the necessity of various sensors in future machine designs.
These devices can be used to measure angle, inclination, mechanical load, distance and more – all of which is necessary for ensuring the safe operation of a machine.
During this webinar, experts from Baumer will discuss the standards coming to the off-highway equipment market and how sensors can be used to ensure compliance with those standards. In addition, they will offer insight into the use of sensors for capturing data and automating processes, with boom and bucket trucks used as an example machine application.
Topic Highlights Include:
- Safety compliance: Learn of new emerging technologies to help you be compliant with emerging machine and safety standards.
- Autonomy: Learn how you can reach a higher level of autonomy for various applications for bucket trucks, including angle, mechanical load, and distance with smart sensor solutions
Sensor Technologies of Focus:
- Inclination sensors
- Encoders
- Force and Strain Sensors
- Cable Transducers
- Pressure Sensors
