What is B5T-007003 (HVC), Specialized for Human Body Detection?
HVC (Human Vision Component) is a sensor module equipped with a miniature camera that enables various types of human detection, but B5T-007003 is specifically designed to detect human bodies. Despite being small, it has a built-in algorithm that enables high-speed processing and accurately detects human bodies.
Our in-house developed detection algorithm enables highly accurate detection of human bodies in various postures and from various look-down angles.
No camera, software, or CPU is required on the customer side*1.
Compared to other sensor devices, it is less expensive*2 and easier to integrate into systems and equipment, making it suitable for installation in various locations.
Detection processing is possible on the sensor module side (edge) (no cloud processing required). Security can be enhanced because there is no need to upload images to a network (such as the cloud) and process data.
An installation tool is also available that allows you to easily set parameters tailored to your site.

OMRON Sensor (B5T) Solves the Problems of Conventional Detection Methods!
There are various detection methods for detecting human bodies, such as image camera method, thermal method, and infrared sensor method. However, each method has its advantages and disadvantages, such as being expensive and difficult to implement, difficulty in distinguishing between humans and objects, and inability to accurately detect humans, limiting their practical application.
OMRON's human body-specific miniature camera module (B5T-007003) eliminates the barriers to adoption that often arise with other sensors, contributing to the creation of safe and secure manufacturing sites.
- A person wearing special work clothes (such as a clean suit) that make it difficult to recognize his or her characteristics cannot be detected.
- It is relatively expensive, making it difficult to install multiple units, which may result in blind spots.
- It is difficult to distinguish between the heat source of a robot or a machine and that of a human, resulting in false detection.
- Because the presence or absence of objects is detected by light reflection, there is a possibility of false detection of machines such as mobile robots. In addition, although it is possible to detect objects passing through, it is not possible to detect objects remaining in the danger area.

Your Application Image
With the camera-equipped sensor module and advanced human body detection technology, we reduce man-hours spent on constant human monitoring and visual on-site inspection, contributing to the creation of a safe and secure workplace environment.
Preventing remote device operation even during maintenance
The B5T sensor detects workers near the device and prevents the equipment from starting up.
Remotely detecting whether someone is present in forbidden areas
The B5T sensor detects not only workers who have entered the forbidden area, but also workers who are staying there, and notifies the manager thereof.
Note: System construction must be carried out by the customer.
