Quanergy Systems revealed its new product M1, a 2D industrial LiDAR sensor for mid- to long-range, high precision measurement applications. The M1 joins the company’s M-Series to expand its industrial product portfolio by offering twice the price-performance vs legacy industrial LiDAR sensors. With up to double the range and range accuracy and 75% more data, M1 provides accuracy and object-detection at longer range compared to the legacy LiDAR sensors in the market today.

The M1 2D LiDAR sensor is designed specifically to increase accuracy, efficiency, and productivity by helping automate critical processes in industrial applications such as logistics in warehouses, factories and other industrial facilities as well as providing more accurate detection at loading zones of cargo containers onto trucks at busy port terminals.

The new M1 LiDAR sensor with up to 2 times higher range and range accuracy enables industrial automation organizations to precisely detect objects up to 70 m at 10% reflectivity, which is ideal for complex outdoor applications such as loading and unloading containers on and off ships.

The product also feature finest angular resolution of 0.033° and 360 degree coverage. Moreover, M1 provides a denser point cloud dataset delivering a higher resolution of an image or object.

The new M1 is over 50% smaller in size and lighting, making it capable of mounting and installing on a wide variety of platforms requiring a small footprint.
