Press, touch, touchless, hand-sensor, pedal, carpet and special-room switches: a field guide to the automatic door switch families and how to choose between them for any project.
Unidirectional sensors open automatic doors only for people approaching. Here is how one-way detection works, where it saves energy and annoyance, and when a bidirectional sensor is still the right ca
Supermarkets, airports and metro entrances punish the wrong sensor. What to look for in detection field shape, response behaviour and adjustment options when thousands of people pass each day.
Microwave and infrared door sensors solve different problems. Here is how each technology works, where each one wins, and why busy entrances often end up using both together.
A practical guide to choosing an automatic door motion sensor: door type, microwave vs infrared, the five specs that matter, environment checks and the questions to ask a supplier before you buy.
