Abstract: A device and a method for detecting objects in a monitored zone are provided. At least one FMCW LiDAR sensor scans a plurality of measurement points in the monitored zone and generates measurement data from transmitted light remitted or reflected by the measurement points, with the measurement data comprising radial speeds of the measurement points. A control and evaluation unit is configured to segment the measurement points and to combine them into objects and/or object segments and to determine a movement pattern of at least one object segment using the radial speeds of the measurement points associated with the object segment.

Abstract: A device and a method for safeguarding a monitored zone by at least one FMCW LiDAR sensor for transmitting transmitted light beams into the monitored zone is provided. The FMCW LiDAR sensor scans a plurality of measurement points in the monitored zone and generates measurement data from transmitted light remitted or reflected by the measurement points. A control and evaluation unit evaluates the measurement data and generates a safety relevant signal based on the evaluation. The measurement data comprise radial speeds of the measurement points and polarization dependent intensities of the transmitted light remitted or reflected by the measurement points. The control and evaluation unit is configured to segment the measurement points using the radial speeds and the polarization dependent intensities and to combine them into objects and/or object segments.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method are provided for determining the spatial position of pick-up elements of a container. A respective set of spatial coordinates of points is determined for a plurality of mutually different sensor positions by means of a moving sensor. The points lie in a spatial region that comprises a container. The respective sets of spatial coordinates are combined into a fused totality of coordinates by means of an evaluation unit. The evaluation unit determines a respective spatial position of the pick-up elements of the container based on the fused totality of the coordinates of the points.

Abstract: An optoelectronic sensor includes a plurality of light sources for generating transmission light, including at least a first and a second light source. The optoelectronic sensor includes transmission optics for projecting transmission light into the field of view and at least one detector for detecting transmission light reflected by the object. A photonic network has a plurality of irradiation points to each of which transmission light, in particular in each case of exactly one light source, can be supplied. The transmission light exits into the transmission optics and ultimately exits into the field of view. A plurality of irradiation points that are arranged directly next to one another or that are directly adjacent are in this respect configured to irradiate transmission light into partial fields of view, in particular different partial fields of view and/or a plurality of partial fields of view arranged next to one another or are adjacent.

Abstract: A method and a safety system for localizing at least two objects has a control and evaluation unit, and at least one radio location system. The radio location system has at least three arranged radio stations, wherein at least two respective radio transponders are arranged at the objects. The two radio transponders are arranged spaced apart from one another. Position data of the radio transponders and thus position data of the objects can be determined by means of the radio location system, and the position data can be transmitted from the radio station of the radio location system to the control and evaluation unit and/or the position data can be transmitted from the radio transponder to the control and evaluation unit. The control and evaluation unit is configured to cyclically detect and compare the position data of the radio transponders.

Abstract: A method and a safety system for localizing at least two objects with varying locations, having at least one control and evaluation unit, having at least one radio location system, wherein the radio location system has at least three arranged radio stations, wherein at least one respective radio transponder is arranged at the objects, wherein first objects are persons and second objects are mobile objects, wherein the radio transponders have identification, wherein a respective radio transponder is at least associated with either a respective person or a mobile object, whereby the control and evaluation unit is configured to distinguish the persons and mobile objects, and wherein the control and evaluation unit is configured to associate a risk classification with each person at least in dependence on the position of the person with respect to at least one mobile object.
