…mobile equipment. When mounted on an automated guided vehicle (AGV) or an autonomous mobile robot (AMR), the sensor can monitor the surrounding area, flagging potential dangers and obstacles in the vehicle’s path. The detection zones being monitored can dynamically change based on the vehicle’s movement, said Quanergy. In addition, M1 Edge offers accurate detection and measurement for stationary and dynamic applications that require simple alerting when an object enters a monitored area. For example, in industrial applications, M1 Edge enables reliable monitoring for level- and height-sensing applications, including tank level monitoring, object stacking, fill level detection, and more, said Quanergy.…
