The Active Sensing Advantage
Unlike cameras or ultrasonic sensors, LiDAR provides lighting-independent, millimeter-accurate 3D data at industrial speeds — making it the preferred perception choice for demanding automation applications.
Active Illumination
LiDAR uses its own laser — no dependency on ambient lighting. It works equally well in pitch-dark factories, bright outdoor yards, and reflective environments.
Millimeter Accuracy
With ±1–2cm range accuracy across 100+ meters, LiDAR delivers the measurement precision required for industrial process automation and quality control.
360° Perception
Multi-channel rotating LiDAR provides full spherical awareness — no blind spots for robots navigating complex multi-aisle factory layouts.
High Update Rate
10–25 Hz scan rates deliver near-real-time environmental updates, enabling fast-moving conveyors and high-speed robots to react to changes instantly.
Industrial Durability
IP65-IP67 rated, -40°C to +85°C operating range, vibration-tested to EN 60068 standards. LidarStar sensors are built for the harshest factory conditions.
Easy Integration
Standard Ethernet/UDP output, ROS/ROS2 drivers, PLC I/O interfaces, and detailed SDK documentation — integrates into any industrial control architecture.
LiDAR Across the Smart Factory
From the loading dock to the production line — LidarStar sensors cover every automation use case in modern industrial environments.
AGV & AMR Navigation
LiDAR-equipped Automated Guided Vehicles and Autonomous Mobile Robots achieve real-time SLAM positioning, dynamic obstacle avoidance, and precise docking — enabling 24/7 unmanned logistics across factory floors, warehouses, and distribution centers.
- Real-time 2D/3D SLAM for precise self-localization
- Dynamic obstacle avoidance with <10ms reaction time
- Millimeter-accurate docking at loading stations
- Multi-sensor fusion with IMU for smooth trajectory
- Narrow aisle navigation down to 600mm clearance
Robotic Arm & Machine Vision
3D LiDAR provides robotic arms with accurate depth perception for bin picking, part positioning, weld seam tracking, and inline quality inspection — replacing slower, lighting-dependent camera systems with active laser precision.
- 1mm 3D part positioning for bin picking
- Weld seam detection and torch path guidance
- Inline dimensional inspection at production speed
- Works in bright, dark, and reflective environments
- Compact mounting on robot wrist or end-effector
Personnel Safety Monitoring
IO-type and 2D safety LiDAR sensors create configurable safety zones around heavy machinery and robot cells. When a person enters a warning or protective field, the system instantly triggers machine slowdown or emergency stop — meeting IEC 61496 safety standards.
- Configurable multi-zone warning and stop fields
- Instant I/O signal output for PLC integration
- Replaces physical fencing in collaborative zones
- 360° horizontal scan plane coverage
- IP67 rated for harsh industrial environments
Smart Warehouse Automation
LiDAR enables automated inventory scanning, palletizing robots, and high-speed sorting conveyor systems to operate with sub-centimeter accuracy. 3D volume measurement of goods enables precise load planning and space utilization.
- Automated pallet dimension measurement
- High-speed package detection on conveyors
- 3D volume scanning for load optimization
- Integration with WMS via Ethernet/ROS
- Dustproof & waterproof for harsh environments
3D PLANT DIGITIZATION & INDUSTRY 4.0
Digital Twin & Facility Mapping
High-density 3D mechanical LiDAR scanners capture entire production facilities as accurate point cloud models. These digital twins enable remote monitoring, layout planning, equipment maintenance planning, and process simulation — at the heart of Industry 4.0.
- Millimeter-precision 3D facility mapping
- Real-time monitoring with live point cloud streams
- CAD/BIM integration for facility management
- Change detection for equipment layout updates
- Compatible with Leica, Faro, and custom software
