Supported Sensors

7 different sensors are currently implemented for use:

• Button sensor - The XT-B4 is a 4-channel push button interface with LED control. Push buttons are a proven and robust way for users to provide input and navigate through your digital content. Connect up to 4 buttons and programmable options for LED output are: on, off, slow-, and fast-blink.

• X-Snapper magnetic sensor - The XSW-X36 offers magnetic pick-up sensors that can also be used as active security devices.

• AirButton & gesture sensor - The XT-EF30 detects touchless input from users. The sensors can be installed behind any non-metal material, offering an entirely invisible and touchless solution.

• Presence & airbutton sensor - The XY-240/241 is an IR Time-of-Flight sensor that detects if an object or a person is present and the distance to it.

• Light sensor - The XZ-L20 detects the amount of light that falls in the sensor. This information can determine whether merchandise is placed on top of or in front of the sensor or not, creating Lift & Learn applications.

• RFID sensor - The XR-DR1 detects “tag pick-ups” and “tag placements” coming from the connected antenna and tag.

• Weight pick-up sensor - The XZ weight sensor (shelf type) can measure the amount of weight which is placed on the sensor, and swiftly detect weight deltas. Typically, this feature is used to determine whether objects, such as goods in a store, are picked up. Additionally it can be applied to measure how many items are stocked on a shelf.

These can in broad terms be divided into two types and within those two types, the sensors can be managed in a similar way:

1. Buttons & AirTouch buttons

2. Pick-Up/Place-Back sensors
