Agricultural Automation
Agriculture is increasingly characterised by automated systems – from feeding systems and stable technology to modern harvesting machines. In addition to greater efficiency, the focus is above all on protecting people, animals and technology. Our intelligent sensor solutions ensure that automated processes run not only reliably but also safely – even under the demanding conditions of everyday agricultural life.
Automatic feeding systems
In modern livestock housing, automated feeding robots ensure that animals are fed precisely and evenly. To protect both humans and animals from injury, our SENTIR edge safety contact edges are often used in these systems to prevent entrapment. When the robot encounters an obstacle – such as an animal, a person or an immovable object – it stops immediately or reverses direction. This effectively prevents accidents and injuries, even in narrow barn aisles with limited visibility.
Our SENTIR edge safety contact edges are dust and moisture resistant and designed for continuous use in demanding environments.
Cleaning and manure removal systems
Automatic cleaning and manure removal systems ensure hygiene and animal welfare. Our tactile sensors are used to ensure the safe and efficient operation of these systems.
Depending on the size and design of the cleaning or manure removal system, SENTIR bumper surface bumpers can also be used in addition to classic SENTIR edge safety contact edges. These large-area sensors offer more comprehensive contact protection and are particularly suitable for larger machines that require a larger detection area.
