Diffuse Sensors With Background Suppression by Leuze

By
Julius Frago
-

Diffuse Sensors With Background Suppression:

The ODT3CL1-2M diffuse sensor is a remarkable innovation designed for applications requiring long-distance object detection and measurement value output via IO-Link. This laser sensor utilizes TOF (time of flight) technology, enabling it to achieve an impressive operating range of two meters.

With its background suppression capability, the ODT3CL1-2M is highly versatile. In intralogistics, it can be seamlessly integrated into shuttles for reliable positioning, presence testing, and compartment occupation checks. In the case of AGVs (automated guided vehicles), the diffuse sensor monitors the position of the transported material. Additionally, this compact sensor finds applications in automobile production, where it controls robot grippers and aids in quality control.

Ensuring Wireless Connectivity: IEEE 802.11 Roaming, Drop, And Reconnect Strategies

By
Julius Frago

New Antaira article on IEEE 802.11 Roaming, Drop, and Reconnect Strategies:

In today’s fast-paced interconnected industrial world, the demand for high efficiency and uninterrupted wireless communication has grown exponentially in recent years. The advisements in the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN technology have led to organizations becoming more dependent on wireless communications for daily activity that were once only available through wired LAN networking.

Besides efficiency and dependability, next generation wireless networks boast high-speed bandwidth driving state-of-the-art technology such as autonomous rovers, robotic centuries, and with backward compatibility, still supporting legacy handheld devices that are frequently used by employees on the go.
