  • Patent number: 11333790
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of setting a plurality of part regions of a desired protected zone, in which a) the positions of a plurality of monitoring units are detected, with each monitoring unit detecting a detection zone; b) a maximum size of each detection zone is determined; c) the desired protected zone is fixed in a graphical user interface; d) the part regions to be monitored by the respective monitoring units are fixed with reference to the positions of the monitoring units, to the maximum size of the detection zones and of the desired protected zone; and e) the part regions are assigned to the respective monitoring units.

  • Publication number: 20200355830
    Abstract: A safety system (10, 64) for safeguarding the surrounding area of a vehicle (50), wherein the safety system (10, 64) comprises an optoelectronic safety sensor (10) for monitoring the surrounding area, a first input (40) connectable to a first kinematic sensor (56) for determining a first speed value for the speed of the vehicle (50), and a control and evaluation unit (34, 64) configured to detect objects in the surrounding area based on sensor data of the optoelectronic safety sensor (10) and to evaluate whether or not the vehicle (50) initiates a safety reaction, taking into account the speed of the vehicle (50), further comprising an inertial measurement unit (38) for determining movement information of the vehicle (50), with the control and evaluation unit (34, 64) being configured to compare the first speed value and the movement information with each other.
