Overview

Industrial Automation and Autonomous Vehicles

Navtechradar's radar sensors work in all environments, all the time. Industrial-grade radar sensors, they have been enabling the automation of industrial sites around the world since 1999, and are used in pioneering autonomous vehicle research. 

For automation in challenging conditions

They provide reliable performance in adverse conditions, when other sensors fail. Rain, fog, dust or dirt, nothing can stop them. The high-resolution, 360°, long-range radar builds a data-rich picture of its surroundings. Working beyond the limits of a person's capability, our sensors can see when humans can't, adding an extra layer of safety to challenging environments. With their unrivalled availability, you can operate your site 24/7 safely and efficiently. 

Our sensors are fully ROS compatible, quick to integrate and give you full access to the radar's raw data. Whether you're looking to collaborate to develop an automated solution for industrial application or you're looking for a technology partner for your research, we will support you to make the most of our radar sensors.

Application

Autonomous Vehicles

Operating independently and unaffected by rain, fog, dirt or dust, our 360° radar sensors bring a new level of performance to the current autonomous vehicle market for all-weather sensing. Unlock the full potential of your automation processes with Terran360, our radar localisation solution. It combines our radar technology with world-leading autonomous vehicle software to deliver never-seen-before pinpoint accurate localisation, in even the harshest environments. Our OEMSensors are also used in cutting-edge autonomous vehicle research and are transforming industries such as ports, mines, marine, rail and yard management by delivering perception and localisation information to vehicles with unrivalled availability.

OEM Sensors

Our OEMSensor range includes the CIR sensor designed for challenging industrial environments. The industrial-grade sensor can be used to provide accurate range and bearing information, enabling applications such as collision avoidance and volumetric measurement. The CAS sensor, a miniaturised edition of the CIR sensor, is ideal for use on autonomous vehicles and can be used for localisation and perception. Our sensors are integrated into our off-the-shelf solutions, Terran360 and SafeGuard. We work with university research departments and commercial R&D teams to integrate our OEMSensors into their automation systems to meet their application needs and deliver on the promise of radar.
