Overview

Proximity and presence sensors are crucial components in modern industrial, commercial, and IoT applications. These sensors detect the presence, absence, or distance of objects without physical contact, ensuring efficiency and safety in automation systems. In New Zealand, industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and infrastructure development increasingly rely on these sensors to streamline operations and enhance productivity. With the growth of smart cities and Industry 4.0, the demand for high-precision proximity and presence sensors is at an all-time high, helping businesses improve workflow automation and regulatory compliance.
