A sensor system, which differentiates between live animate beings and inanimate objects at up to a five-meter distance, has been introduced by Olea Sensor Networks. The OleaVision surpasses other less advanced technologies in its ability to ‘see’ a living being, even through walls and regardless of whether the monitored subject is moving or motionless, and to distinguish between human and animal presence and movement.

The system has broad application in the automotive/transportation, industrial, smart home and security systems markets for pedestrian and bystander detection, animate-being detection, collision avoidance, intrusion detection, fire safety and energy management.

“We know of no other sensor on the market today that has OleaVision’s detection range and discernment capabilities, which are urgently needed for many important applications. For example, vehicle and industrial equipment producers are seeking advanced safety capabilities to prevent the many thousands of deaths that occur annually from vehicle and mobile industrial equipment colliding with pedestrians and bystanders. OleaVision can help to save these lives and significantly reduce the liabilities faced by OEM’s as well as vehicle and equipment operators,” commented Frank Morese, CEO and Founder, Olea. “OleaVision builds on the capabilities of our intelligent IoT sensor platform, which is based on our proprietary embedded advanced algorithms and sensor analytic technologies.”
