mecorad expands business in North America: Radar Measurement for the Steel Industry

mecorad, a leading provider of radar measurement solutions for the steel industry, has officially entered the U.S. market. As of April 2, 2024, the company has established mecorad Inc. to cater to the growing demand for innovative radar measurement systems in North America.

“Our U.S. customers deserve our direct presence in the market,” said Marc Banaszak, CEO of mecorad Inc. The decision to enter the U.S. and Canadian markets followed two years of market analysis, culminating in participation at AISTech, a key event for the U.S. steel industry. Substantial private and governmental investments in digitization and data analytics within the U.S. and Canadian steel sectors present significant growth opportunities for mecorad.

Advanced Radar Measurement Technology for the Steel Industry

The company’s radar sensor platform, 1224, is fully FCC-compliant and approved for unrestricted use in the U.S. It delivers real-time digital insights into shapes, geometries, distances, fill levels, and material presence with the utmost precision, even under extreme conditions. The system achieves micrometer-level accuracy, setting a new standard for industrial measurement.

Solutions for Every Step of Steel Production

Equipped with cutting-edge radar technology and Industry 4.0 capabilities, mecorad’s solutions are tailored for upstream and downstream processes in the steel and metal industries. Unlike traditional radar sensors, mecorad’s products are designed and rigorously tested for the most demanding industrial environments. Advanced compensation mechanisms, such as temperature adjustments, ensure stable and drift-free results. Paired with proprietary signal processing, the sensors deliver both accuracy and precision down to single-digit micrometers.

In addition to supporting PLC systems, mecorad’s single-sensor and multi-sensor fusion solutions integrate seamlessly with higher IT layers, enabling immediate deployment in advanced control and AI applications.

With its expansion into the North American market, mecorad reaffirms its commitment to revolutionizing the steel industry through innovative radar measurement solutions, enhancing production quality while reducing operational costs.
