BEA Sensors, a global leader in sensing solutions for automatic door systems since 1965, serves diverse sectors with products ranging from sliding and swing door sensors to escalator safety solutions. Known for their commitment to safety, accessibility, and efficiency, BEA continually pushes the boundaries of industrial automation technology.

To meet the growing demands for enhanced safety and operational precision, BEA partnered with QBA to create an advanced, configurable sensor platform capable of supporting future industrial needs.

The Need

Industrial automation applications — from automatic door systems to AGV anti-collision controls — require sensors that are not only precise but also easy to configure and maintain.

BEA needed to address:

  • Safety & Efficiency: Deliver high-precision, reliable sensing for critical industrial environments.
  • User Configurability: Provide end-users with a simple way to customize and diagnose sensors for specific operational needs.
  • Scalability: Build a modular, future-proof system architecture that could adapt to new sensor types and evolving use cases.

The Solution

A LIDAR-Powered, Configurable Sensor Platform

QBA and BEA collaborated to design and implement a sophisticated LIDAR-based sensor system combined with an intuitive software solution — Visioscan Set — enabling advanced configuration and diagnostics.

Key features included:

Precision & Reliability:

LIDAR technology for high-accuracy distance measurement, ensuring safe and efficient automatic door operation and AGV navigation.

User-Friendly Software:

Visioscan Set with a modern interface for straightforward sensor setup, troubleshooting, and customization.

Modular Architecture:

Scalable system design to integrate new sensor types and enable future updates without disruption.

The Impact
