The rapid development of IOT era produces intelligent management demands like smart home, smart hotel and smart building. Smart office becomes the mainstream in workplace management, which aims to providing company employees a high-effective, convenient and comfortable working environment.
When building a smart office, the user looks forward to more humanized and automatized one. How does it realize? Non-contact millimeter wave radar plays an indispensable role.
Millimeter wave radar sensor uses 30~300 GHz electromagnetic wave for detection. Compared with traditional pyroelectric infrared and ultrasonic sensing technology, millimeter wave radar sensing technology with characteristics of high precision and invulnerable to environment, can identify signals of the target by transmitting and receiving high-frequency electromagnetic wave, thus achieve a real-time detection of human movements in space.
Millimeter wave radar sensor is widely applied in automatic driving, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), security and protection monitoring previously. But it starts showing up in civilian intelligent control fields like smart hotel, smart office, smart home in recent years. It can detect human presence precisely, and be applied in multiple complicated installation environments, greatly meeting diverse needs of current smart space construction.
As a core component in smart office, millimeter wave radar sensor plays an indispensable role in its construction. And human presence detection scheme based on millimeter wave radar sensing technology provides multiple innovative applications for smart office.
Installing millimeter wave human presence senor in office can help sensing movements of indoor personnel and their use of station in real time. And with intelligent algorithm, it can manage the office effectively.
Sensing human presence continuously with an intelligent lighting system, the sensor can keep lights on when human is around, and turn off lights when human leaves. What’s more, it can adjust the luminaires illuminance automatically according to ambient brightness to create a comfortable lighting environment.
The sensor can monitor the usage of office, adjust air-condition’s temperature and fresh air system base on the personnel distribution and ambient temperature, reducing consumption, meanwhile, improving office’s comfortableness.
Millimeter wave human presence sensor can be used to monitor the usage of meeting room, such as personnel’s entering and leaving, meanwhile, report the occupation of meeting room in real time, providing scientific reference for its reserving and scheduling.
It can be used for safety supervision of office area, monitoring abnormal behaviors and invasion events. When unauthorized person enters office area, there’s an instant alarm. And combined with personal identification technology, it can realize safer entrance control.
When building smart office, clear boundary definition of small spaces like single station and precise maintenance of human presence signals detection are two major difficulties.
Therefore, Merrytek launches small-space presence sensor MSA300 Z with characteristics of compact size, self-defined detection angle, precise detection, and clear-defined boundary. It can clearly define detection boundary within 1 meter in diameter, meet small-space precise presence detection need.
The innovative application of millimeter wave radar sensor brings more possibilities to smart office. In the future, Merrytek will keep taking technical development as core drive force, continue to improve and extend smart office scenarios, and build more intelligent, more humanized, safer, and more comfortable smart office to upgrade office experience.
