Optex and Hotron Activation & Safety

Since 1968, the Hotron Group has been at the forefront of designing and manufacturing sensors that ensure the safe and reliable operation of automatic doors. With a comprehensive range of activation and safety devices for both pedestrian and industrial automatic doors, Hotron is committed to delivering full compliance with European standards.

We’re proud to offer advanced technology that makes your doors work smarter and safer. Here’s a look at some of the key solutions we provide:

Active Infrared Sensors

These sensors work by transmitting infrared light and measuring the reflection levels. When something—whether it’s a person or object—enters the detection area, the sensor detects a change in the reflection, triggering the door to open.

Microwave Sensors

Using radar technology (the Doppler Effect), our microwave sensors emit continuous microwaves at a defined frequency within the detection area. When these waves are reflected back by an object, the sensor activates. This technology is especially useful in environments where precise detection is required.

Door Learn Technology

Our Door Learn Technology is an intelligent safety system designed to enhance pedestrian safety. This system allows the detection zones to be focused both in front of and inside automatic sliding doors, ensuring that doors only open when it’s completely safe to do so.
