Accuracy
Low. Cannot distinguish animals, vehicles, people. Cannot confirm full entry.
Medium. Detects passage but not object type. Prone to misses if animals jump/crouch.
High. Identifies live animals, enables counting and positioning.
Reliability
Medium. Prone to corrosion, mechanical wear. Requires calibration.
Low. Lenses easily fouled by mist/foam/dirt. High maintenance.
Very High. Sealed design, high IP rating. Immune to fog, dust, light.
Simple mount (wall/ceiling). Virtually maintenance-free.
Long-Term Cost
Medium. Calibration & part replacement.
High. High failure rate leads to downtime & repair costs.
Low. Long lifespan, ultra-low failure rate. Highest overall value.
Ideal For
Simple applications with low accuracy needs.
Clean, short, indoor channels with dedicated maintenance.
Harsh, high-reliability, high-accuracy environments in modern farms.
Verdict: For farms where biosecurity is critical, you're investing in guaranteed protection. StarCore Tech's mmWave solution offers dominant advantages in accuracy, reliability, and total cost of ownership, forming the foundation for true disinfection automation.
