The strategy aims to improve sensor detection accuracy and gate response by implementing regular calibration, optimizing the environment, and upgrading technology and training. Regular calibration involves setting a monthly schedule, using precision tools, and training staff on procedures. For example, documenting calibration results allows historical analysis to spot trends.
Optimizing the sensor system environment includes conducting site inspections to identify interferences and implementing measures such as climate control. For instance, using barriers to minimize electronic interference helps maintain sensor accuracy. Monitoring sensor data aids in identifying patterns linked to environmental factors.
Lastly, upgrading technology and training involves researching new sensor technologies and developing comprehensive training programs. An example of this is arranging workshops with manufacturers for hands-on learning, ensuring operators are knowledgeable about the latest advancements.
