Can the sensor count multiple trolleys stacked or nested together?

Yes! The sensor can be configured to detect and count nested trolleys based on weight or specific physical characteristics. This is particularly useful for tracking storage areas where trolleys are stacked to save space. The counting algorithm can distinguish between single, double, or multiple nested units based on your specific trolley design.

Can the sensors communicate with AGV systems for automatic trolley management?

Absolutely! The Trolley Sensor integrates seamlessly with AGV and warehouse management systems through WiFi and LoRaWAN. When sensors detect empty slots or full trolley staging areas, they can automatically trigger AGV dispatch to redistribute trolleys, creating a self-managing trolley ecosystem throughout your facility.

How does the floor-mounted design hold up to forklift traffic and daily wear?

The sensor features an industrial-grade ABS housing rated for warehouse environments. It can withstand repeated trolley loads and forklift passes when properly installed. The low-profile design (23mm height) minimizes impact risks, while screw-down or adhesive mounting options provide flexible installation based on your traffic patterns.

How quickly does the system respond when a trolley is placed or removed?

Response time is typically 1-5 seconds from detection to system update. This rapid response enables real-time workflow adjustments and immediate visibility of trolley status changes.

How do the sensors handle high-interference industrial environments?

The dual communication system (WiFi and LoRaWAN) provides automatic failover in high-interference areas. LoRaWAN specifically excels in industrial environments with heavy metal structures or electronic interference. The robust communication protocols ensure reliable data transmission even in challenging conditions.
