24GHz Industrial Door Motion Radar with Forklift Vehicle and Pedestrian Differentiation for Warehouse Loading Dock High Speed Doors

The RVP42-7M is a professional 24.125GHz Doppler radar motion sensor specifically designed for industrial high-speed doors, warehouse doors, loading dock entrances, cold storage doors and other vehicle-access door systems.

Unlike conventional indoor motion sensors that mainly detect pedestrian movement, the RVP42-7M is developed for industrial traffic environments where forklifts, vehicles and pedestrians may approach the same automatic door.

• High-speed industrial doors
• Warehouse automatic doors
• Loading dock doors
• Cold storage doors
• Sectional doors
• Factory vehicle entrances
• Logistics center access doors
• Industrial garage doors

One of the main functions of the radar is vehicle and pedestrian differentiation. In mixed industrial traffic areas, the sensor can identify movement from forklifts, vehicles, and pedestrians, allowing industrial door systems to use different activation logic depending on the approaching target.

The radar supports movement direction detection, helping the system determine whether a forklift, vehicle or pedestrian is approaching or leaving the door.

• Forward movement detection
• Reverse movement detection
• Bidirectional movement detection

Industrial entrances often have people or vehicles moving parallel to the door. The RVP42-7M supports lateral movement recognition and cross-traffic filtering, helping prevent the door from opening when the detected object is only passing across the front of the entrance rather than approaching it.

The sensor operates at 24.125GHz, using Doppler radar technology to detect moving objects. Unlike basic PIR sensors, radar detection is well suited to industrial door activation where forklifts and vehicles need to be detected reliably from an overhead mounting position.
