Haltian, a prominent player in the Internet-of-Things (IoT) solutions arena, is making waves with the launch of Haltian RADAR, a revolutionary wireless sensor designed to transform vehicle detection and optimize parking operations. This latest addition to Haltian’s extensive IoT sensor portfolio is set to address a wide range of applications, marking a significant expansion in the company’s IoT offerings.

Haltian RADAR operates by utilizing radio wave signals to measure the distance between the sensor and vehicles, enabling accurate and reliable identification of vehicle movement. The sensor promptly detects the occupancy or presence of a vehicle and relays real-time data to the Haltian backend, facilitating integration with the customer’s application. The collected occupancy and utilization data empower organizations to refine parking space management, enhance operational efficiency, and ensure the smooth functioning of vehicle fleets. Key applications for Haltian RADAR include warehouse loading dock management and monitoring parking space utilization.

Pasi Leipälä, CEO, and co-founder of Haltian highlights the challenges associated with managing high-traffic locations such as parking areas and loading docks. He emphasizes how RADAR offers organizations a straightforward, cost-effective solution to improve parking operations, reduce environmental impact, and elevate the overall parking experience. Leipälä notes that the development of Haltian RADAR was a response to a genuine client need, driven by the absence of a wireless sensor meeting their high requirements.

The scalability of Haltian RADAR positions it as an ideal solution for organizations seeking scalable and cost-effective options for vehicle detection. Known for its exceptional accuracy, reliability, and ease of installation, Haltian RADAR seamlessly integrates into parking slots or loading docks without disrupting daily operations, using robust adhesive tape or an installation plate. Its retrofittable nature allows easy integration into existing spaces, making it resistant to natural sources of interference like sunlight, rain, ice, snow, dust, or fog, suitable for both indoor and outdoor conditions.

Leipälä expresses enthusiasm about Haltian RADAR being the third product launch of the year, reinforcing the commitment to developing cutting-edge IoT products that support clients in making data-driven decisions and contributing to a sustainable future. RADAR is the first of its kind for Haltian to gather vehicle occupancy data and can be used in conjunction with the Haltian Empathic Building application, offering a comprehensive solution for visualizing available parking spaces on a digital twin, providing reports, and facilitating easy booking of parking spaces.

Haltian RADAR is slated for global availability in the first quarter of 2024, offering technical specifications that include robust presence detection, software-agnostic compatibility, durability in extreme weather conditions, Wirepas Mesh technology for connectivity, IP68 rating, and a wireless, battery-powered design with a lifespan of up to 10 years. Its fast installation and versatile mounting options make it an ideal solution for even the most challenging environments.
