1. Automated Warehouse Conveyor System Monitoring
Utilizing the REF-VDM05 reflector in conjunction with a VDM70 series distance measurement sensor to monitor the position and presence of large items or pallets on long conveyor belts in automated warehouses. The 250m range allows for monitoring extensive sections with fewer sensors.
Problem SolvedEnsures accurate material flow, prevents blockages, and optimizes storage and retrieval operations by providing precise long-distance presence and position detection in challenging industrial environments.

2. Precision Positioning for Outdoor Industrial Cranes
Employing the REF-VDM05 as a fixed reference point for a VDM70 series laser distance sensor on large outdoor gantry cranes or overhead traveling cranes. The reflector's robust PMMA and metal construction and wide operating temperature range (-30 to 60 °C) ensure reliable performance in varying weather conditions.
Problem SolvedProvides highly accurate positioning data for large moving machinery, preventing collisions, ensuring precise load placement, and enhancing operational safety and efficiency in outdoor industrial settings.

3. Non-Contact Level Measurement in Large Industrial Silos
Integrating the REF-VDM05 at the bottom or strategic points within large industrial silos or tanks containing bulk materials (e.g., grains, aggregates) to provide a reliable target for a VDM70 series distance sensor. The reflector's large dimensions (70x70cm) and 250m range enable accurate level detection over significant heights.
Problem SolvedOffers non-contact, long-range level monitoring, crucial for inventory management and preventing overfilling or depletion in large-scale storage facilities, especially where the material itself might not be an ideal reflective surface.
