OMRON Electronic Components’ B5T-007003 has been shortlisted for the Electronics Excellence Awards under the Software category.
The B5T-007003 is a compact, specialised module designed to detect people wearing cleanroom suits, providing image-sensing capabilities for industrial PCs, Windows PCs, or embedded Linux systems.
The B5T is ideal for factory automation engineers, safety managers, and system integrators who face limitations with conventional detection methods such as light curtains, thermal sensors, or IR sensors, and for organisations seeking to create a safer workplace through remote monitoring in factory automation, semiconductor, or food processing environments.
The B5T-007003 is a compact sensor module combining a camera and onboard processing board with standardised interfaces for easy integration into equipment and cleanroom systems. It reliably detects workers wearing clean suits or protective clothing, accurately identifying human presence regardless of clothing, posture, or lighting. The B5T distinguishes humans from equipment and background structures, minimising false detections, and is optimised for real-time operation with low CPU requirements.
