Imaging Radar

4D Radar

Radar sensors with multiple transmit and receive antennas (MIMO radar) are redefining performance standards in industrial sensing. By applying advanced beamforming and signal processing, these systems offer unmatched spatial resolution, precise object detection, and exceptional measurement stability—even in demanding environments with dust, steam, vibrations, or fast-changing conditions.

Beyond fill level measurement, multi-antenna radar excels in a wide range of applications, including object positioning, collision avoidance, flow monitoring, and presence detection. Whether in bulk material handling, smart factories, autonomous systems, or process automation, this technology ensures reliable and accurate data where conventional sensors reach their limits.

For industries aiming to enhance safety, efficiency, and data-driven automation, multi-antenna radar is the future-proof solution of choice.
