RS, a global provider of high-service solutions for industrial customers, is now offering the B25 wide beam sensor from Banner Engineering-a cutting-edge photoelectric sensor engineered to optimize package detection and throughput in fast-growing sectors such as material handling, logistics, and packaging.
As these industries scale to meet rising global demand, reliable, high-speed package detection is more critical than ever. The global packaging industry, currently valued at $1.24 trillion in 2024, is forecasted to reach $1.69 trillion by 2034. Likewise, the material handling and logistics sector is projected to grow from $3.93 trillion in 2024 to $5.95 trillion by 2030. Keeping packages moving efficiently through every phase—from filling to final delivery-is essential, and Banner’s new sensor offers a timely solution.
The B25 wide beam sensor stands out with its ability to detect leading edges of packages as thin as 3mm across a 25mm wide beam, regardless of shape, material, or positioning. Whether handling dark, reflective, translucent, or irregularly shaped items—such as mailers, polybags, or packages with flaps, folds, or holes—the sensor ensures consistent, chatter-free detection where other sensors may fail.

This enhanced reliability improves precision in package flow control, contributing to better sortation accuracy and operational efficiency across high-throughput environments.
Designed with usability in mind, the B25 sensor features intuitive setup options including a single pushbutton, remote input wire, or IO-Link interface. Users can easily teach the sensor to ignore belt seams and flutter with just a button press, improving performance in conveyor applications. Adjustable sensitivity settings allow for fine-tuning detection based on specific packaging challenges.
With this launch, RS continues to empower industrial customers with state-of-the-art sensing technologies that support operational scalability and accuracy in an era of exponential growth across logistics, warehousing, and packaging sectors.
