Thingsee BEAM

Overview

Thingsee BEAM is a battery-powered Time-of-Flight (ToF) laser distance sensor designed for measuring fill levels in dispensers, trash bins, shelves, and other applications requiring accurate distance measurement.

The sensor emits an infrared laser beam and calculates the distance from the time it takes for the beam to return. It provides extremely accurate distance measurement with an adjustable beam width, making installation flexible and easy.

Key Features

• ToF laser distance measurement — 40–4000 mm range, ±25 mm accuracy
• Adjustable beam width — 15–27° cone (Region of Interest)
• Long battery life — Up to 4 years (default 5-minute interval)
• Flexible installation — Above or below target surface, ±6° angle tolerance
• Class 1 laser — Safe under all conditions of normal use
• Wirepas Mesh connectivity — Wireless data transmission, self-healing network
• Certifications — CE, FCC, ISED, RoHS, UKCA compliant

Quick Start

1. Install the sensor — Pull battery tab, mount with adhesive tape
2. Verify operation — Check distance readings in the Haltian application
3. Monitor data — View fill levels and historical trends

Common Use Cases

Dispenser Fill-Level Monitoring

Paper towel, soap, and hand sanitizer dispensers — proactive refill scheduling, optimized maintenance routes.

Trash Bin Fill-Level Monitoring

Office waste bins, recycling containers — efficient collection, prevent overflows, route optimization.

Shelf Fill-Level Monitoring

Retail shelves, warehouse inventory, vending machines — real-time stock visibility, low-stock alerts.

Other Distance Measurement

Parking occupancy, loading dock monitoring, tank levels (with accessory), stacked material height.
