Timeline
Events
- 2026-01-30 - Partnership - Exmark integrates Inxpect safety radar into autonomous mowers
The radar safety functions are certified to ISO 13849 for machinery applications. The integration is intended to maintain human detection across varied mowing conditions with limited supervision. Inxpect positioned the project as an extension of industrial functional safety into outdoor autonomous machinery.
Source - 2025-03-18 - Partnership - Inxpect and KUKA partner on safety-radar availability
The radar analyses reflected signals from both static and moving objects in complex scenes. Its 60 GHz sensors support a dynamically selectable horizontal field of view and up to four alarm zones. Inxpect also positions Series 200 for mobile safety applications.
