Munich-based startup Toposens launched its plug-and play Toposens Processing Unit DK as a gateway between Toposens 3D Ultrasonic Sensors and buyer functions.

The Toposens Processing Unit DK (TPU DK) makes it simpler to combine the corporate’s ultrasonic sensing know-how right into a buyer’s current platform to judge 3D collision avoidance. It interconnects the corporate’s 3D Ultrasonic Echolocation Sensor “ECHO ONE DK” to an automatic guided automobile (AGV) or autonomous cell robotic (AMR) infrastructure, enabling AGVs and AMRs to keep away from collisions with every kind of obstacles.

The TPU DK options superior knowledge processing algorithms that are used to speak to an AGV’s or AMR’s management system by way of standardized outputs, whether or not an impediment violates the user-configurable warning and cease zones. This takes away the effort of sophisticated integration procedures. The user-friendly graphical person interface (GUI) visualizes the adjustable 3D warning zones and cease zones, that are configurable to swimsuit completely different use circumstances.

Particular person sensor parameters may also be adjusted within the GUI along with the sensor automobile positioning. Alternatively the sensor additionally gives a “fusion mode,” the place the TPU DK delivers pre-filtered level cloud knowledge to a different processing system by way of ethernet.

“The mixture of Toposens ECHO ONE DK and Toposens Processing Unit DK gives our prospects with an unprecedented 3D Ultrasonic Collision Avoidance for AGVs and AMRs. By detecting even probably the most advanced objects in 3D area with a small blind zone, prospects are capable of scale back pricey accidents whereas guaranteeing highest security in any industrial setting”, Alexander Rudoy, CTO and Co-Founding father of the corporate, mentioned.

The TPU DK gives a number of communication interfaces for versatile deployment, gives a user-friendly GUI and operates on a really low energy consumption of lower than 5 watts. Additional data might be obtained on TPU DK product web page.
