The laser detectors are used in diverse ways: vertically as "curtain detectors" for protecting pictures and walls or horizontally as "penetration detectors" for protecting ceilings and floors. All of these requirements were fulfilled by system integrators PKE Electronics AG with LMS123 2D laser scanner from SICK.Įxtremely flexible protection without adverse effects Another big challenge for the sensor technology deployed here is dust and dirt, as well as the daily cleaning of the platform. Alarms in the event of unauthorized touching should be as discrete as possible, in order that the enjoyment of the artwork is not affected for curators, art-lovers and other interested parties. Moreover, the artwork should be monitored as unobtrusively as possible. In order to do so, it is necessary to protect the work against the effects of aging, but also against damage - for example, resulting from vandalism. This cycle of paintings should also be preserved in an authentic state, as far as possible, for future generations.
