Rays SensingSite sensing for logistics sites and yards

What moves on your site, day and night, measured at the site.

Trucks, vans, cars and people at your gates, docks and yard: counted by class, timed and shown on a map. Radar and LiDAR need no light and do not capture faces or identifiable images. The processing runs on an edge computer at your site.

Built and tested on our own recordings. We are setting up first pilots with site owners.

Which sensor sees what

Each sensor has its strengths. On most sites we combine radar and LiDAR, and add a camera only where it helps.

What stays on site

The sensors and the edge computer are at your site. What leaves the edge computer are events and counts, not images.

  • Radar and LiDAR measure positions, shapes and speeds. They do not capture faces or identifiable images.
  • A camera is optional. Where you want one, we agree with you what it records, what is stored and for how long.
  • Counts, dwell times and events go to the console, which runs on servers within the EU, and to the exports; alerts can also be sent by e-mail or SMS. Images are not sent off site unless agreed with you.

How a project runs

Five steps, from the first visit to hand-over. At each one you know what you receive and what we need from you; the pilot page breaks the pilot itself down step by step.

  1. 01Site visit
  2. 02Feasibility
  3. 03Pilot
  4. 04Evaluation
  5. 05Hand-over or extension
Each step: what you receive, what we need
  1. 01

    Site visit

    We walk the gates, docks and yard with you and note what must be counted and where sensors could go.

    You receive
    Our notes and a first sensor layout
    We need
    Access to the site and someone who knows its traffic
  2. 02

    Feasibility

    We check what each sensor position can see, and what the site offers for power and network.

    You receive
    A feasibility note with the proposed positions and a pilot scope
    We need
    Site plans, opening hours, details of existing cameras and network
  3. 03

    Pilot

    We install sensors and an edge computer at one gate or one area, for a fixed scope and a duration agreed in advance.

    You receive
    Console access and exports during the pilot
    We need
    A mounting point, power and a network or mobile connection
  4. 04

    Evaluation

    We compare the results with the success criteria agreed before installation, for example your gate logs or manual counts.

    You receive
    An end-of-pilot report
    We need
    The reference data, and a person to review the results with us
  5. 05

    Hand-over or extension

    You decide: extend to more gates and areas, keep the system as delivered, or stop and we remove the equipment.

    You receive
    The delivered system with documentation and training, or a clean removal
    We need
    Your decision, and the people who will run the system

Occupancy without cameras

How it works, status, what you receive

Is a meeting room, a break area or a zone in use? WiFi sensing reads presence from the WiFi radio signal between small modules; radar senses presence and movement. Neither forms a camera image.

  • Status: in development, built and tested on our own recordings.
  • How we offer it: as a pilot on one room or one area, with the scope and the success criteria agreed in advance.
  • What you receive: a live presence view per room or zone, an event log and an end-of-pilot report.

Frequently asked

Which sensor should we start with?

For gates and yards, usually radar and LiDAR together: radar for distance and speed in any weather, LiDAR for exact position and shape. A camera is added only where telling vehicles apart by their look matters and there is light. We propose the combination after the site visit.

Does it work at night and in rain?

Radar and LiDAR bring their own signal and need no daylight, so the counts continue at night. Radar is largely unaffected by rain and fog; dense fog and heavy snow shorten what LiDAR sees, which is one reason we combine the two. A camera needs light.

What data leaves the site?

Events and counts: time, gate or zone, class, direction and dwell time. They go to the console, which runs on servers within the EU, and to the exports; alerts can also be sent by e-mail or SMS. Camera images, where a camera is used, stay on the edge computer unless you agree otherwise.

More questions
Can you use our existing cameras?

Often as an extra view, for example to look at an event. Tell us what cameras you have and how they are connected; in the feasibility step we check whether their view and image are useful. The counts themselves come from radar and LiDAR.

What do we provide on site?

A mounting point for each sensor position, such as a pole, a wall or a canopy; power; and a network connection or a spot with mobile coverage for the edge computer. We bring and install the sensors and the edge computer.

How is it priced?

Per site. After the site visit we quote the pilot and, if you continue, the delivered system. There is no price list.

Have you deployed this at a customer site yet?

Not yet. The system is built and tested on our own recordings, and we are now setting up first pilots with site owners. A pilot is how we show what it does on your site before you decide on more.
