BBC BircherPresence Detection

Presence Detection

Presence and safeguarding sensors detect objects and people in door leaf paths, closing edges, and access zones — protecting against entrapment and enabling reliable activation. Bircher presence detection products use inductive loop, radar, and active infrared technologies to cover vehicle detection at barriers, pedestrian safety on automatic doors, and hazardous zone monitoring in industrial access systems.
