SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Calif. & MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Indoor Lab, a world leader in LiDAR perception and analytics solutions, and Aeva® (NYSE: AEVA), a leader in next-generation sensing and perception systems, today announced that Aeva has been selected to provide LiDAR for The Indoor Lab’s LiDAR analytics platform used to improve safety, security and operational efficiency at major U.S. airports, mass transit railways, agriculture, and in smart infrastructure at theme parks, cities, and other large venues across the U.S.

Under the agreement, Aeva Atlas™ 4D LiDAR sensors will be integrated into The Indoor Lab’s LiDAR Overwatch Perception Platform™ that is the key driver to its Enterprise Analytics Suite for Critical Infrastructure to provide data for round-the-clock AI-powered analytics to monitor and manage indoor and outdoor environments. Aeva’s technology will be leveraged for its instant velocity detection, immunity to interference, and compact form factor. The Indoor Lab is the leading hardware agnostic perception platform for protecting America’s critical infrastructure. The multi-year agreement represents Aeva’s first industrial customer win for Atlas, with sensor shipments beginning this month for The Indoor Lab’s initially planned customer deployments.

“We have evaluated nearly all time-of-flight 3D LiDAR technologies on the market today and selected Aeva because we see significant advantages in its 4D LiDAR technology,” said Patrick Blattner, Founder and CEO of The Indoor Lab. “Importantly, Aeva is the first to commercialize 4D LiDAR for production at scale and its technology brings crucial advantages to our analytics platform, including the addition of instant velocity data and the inherent immunity to sunlight interference. By selecting Aeva, we have future-proofed our perception analytics platform for critical infrastructure throughout the U.S. and will be able to provide the most comprehensive and advanced solutions for our customers at scale.”

Together with The Indoor Lab, Aeva’s 4D LiDAR technology is initially planned to be implemented at some of the nation’s largest and most heavily trafficked airports, including John F. Kennedy International Airport’s New Terminal One and San Francisco International Airport, followed by undisclosed integrations in agriculture, and in smart infrastructure at theme parks, cities, and other large venues across the U.S.

“Aeva is seeing significant momentum in the market following recent wins in automotive and industrial including our recent selection by a top national defense security organization,” said James Byun, Managing Director of Business Development at Aeva. “This key production win with The Indoor Lab solidifies Aeva’s position in the industrial market as the go-to lidar supplier of choice when performance and scalability matter. The Indoor Lab is a leader in LiDAR-based perception analytics and is expanding deployments rapidly at large venues and critical infrastructure sites across the U.S. Our unique FMCW technology will allow The Indoor Lab to deliver high-performance sensing at scale across a wide variety of indoor and outdoor customer use cases to enable improved safety, security and efficiency.”
