Quebec City, QC -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/29/2015 -- Intense competition at a global level intensifies the need for efficiency and productivity improvements in all manufacturing sectors. New sensing technologies are an inherent part of this industrial renewal, as their unique capabilities make them valuable tools to help reach these goals. Remotely accessed heating, lighting, and security systems, as well as automated measurements and control processes on production lines are all examples of readily available applications that leverage a variety of sensors to save energy, protect valuable assets, or improve quality control.
According to LeddarTech, many major challenges still remain, including the safety of workers around dangerous machinery and trucks, as too many work-related accidents and deaths are still happening today. Unmanned vehicles and robotic automation are seen as a major enabler for increasing productivity and reducing costs. More and more industrial sectors are looking to leverage such possibilities to their advantage. Just a few years ago, it was hard to imagine that online vendors would consider entrusting parcel delivery to drones.
Detection and ranging solutions like Leddar are considered a great enabler for new industrial applications, thanks to superior robustness and proprietary algorithms that can deliver consistent and reliable performance, even in the harshest environments.
Commercial and industrial properties' security and surveillance systems can benefit from advanced perimeter monitoring provided by the precise presence detection capabilities of Leddar sensors, both indoors and outdoors.
Leddar smart sensors are also instrumental in providing navigation and collision avoidance systems in unmanned vehicles found in modern factories and warehousing systems that operate without direct supervision.
