Sonair certifies ADAR One for SIL 2 and PL d robot-safety applications
Sonair received independent functional-safety certification for ADAR One, its 3D ultrasonic robot-safety sensor.
Why it matters
Sonair unveiled a safety-certified ADAR One 3D ultrasonic sensor for human-robot collaboration and machine safety.
Evidence notes
- exida issued an EC type-examination certificate covering IEC 61496, IEC 61508 and ISO 13849 requirements.
- The certification supports SIL 2 and PL d applications with dangerous-failure probability below 1.5 × 10^-7 per hour.
- Sonair said series-production units were shipping for use on deployed industrial robots.
Company context
Sonair develops ADAR, a 3D ultrasonic sensing system for robots and autonomous mobile machines. The sensor is designed to help robots perceive nearby humans and obstacles safely using sound rather than optical sensing alone.
