Nowadays, modern equipment such as automatically operated window systems is more and more in use in the building technology in order to optimize the temperature and ventilation flow. The aim is to decrease the use of air-conditioning systems and therefore reduce the overall carbon foot-print.

However, the use of such systems on the building facade will also increase the risk of injury for persons. This injury risk should be assessed from the very beginning of design and  installation of the automatically operated window system on the building façade.

Therefore, suitable measures should be taken in order to make the daily use of such systems safe and reduce the risk of injury for persons to a minimum. Such safety measures can be laser scanner systems such as the LZR®-W400 able to cover  very large areas. The LZR®-W400 Laser Scanner sensor is already in use today as a protection solution for automatically operated windows for example in schools where children have access to them. LZR®-W400 can monitor the access to the whole window facade and therefore reduce the risk of injury for vulnerable persons.
