Combining precise 3D LiDAR data with powerful on-device processing, these sensor solutions are essential building blocks for modern industrial, infrastructure, and security applications. Whether in perimeter protection, automation, or volume monitoring, the Qb series delivers the precision, scalability, and robustness required for demanding environments.
Qb2 – The Sensor Solution for Smart 3D Applications
Qb2 is a powerful all-in-one LiDAR solution that combines hardware and software in a compact device. It captures and processes 3D data directly on-device, delivering actionable insights such as object detection, tracking, and real-time event triggering. This makes Qb2 the perfect fit for a wide range of applications, from intelligent infrastructure to industrial automation processes.
Qb2 stands out for its high adaptability: scan patterns, parameters, and alert logic can be flexibly configured, while the integrated low-code platform Blickfeld Flow enables intuitive, tailored data processing and integration.
Thanks to standardized interfaces, WiFi connectivity, and a user-friendly web GUI, Qb2 can be quickly integrated into existing systems and, with its IoT capabilities, ensures seamless data exchange across diverse platforms.
QbBasic – Flexible Sensor for OEMs and System Integrators
QbBasic is the configurable LiDAR sensor for OEMs, developers, and integrators who want to embed high-precision 3D data into their systems. The sensor generates detailed point clouds with up to 400 scan lines per frame and supports multiple returns to accurately detect complex environments.
A web-based interface allows for easy adjustment of scan parameters, including the number of scan lines, frame rate, and output formats – ensuring that the sensor behavior can be precisely tailored to specific use cases. With standardized communication protocols like MQTT and TCP/IP and an open API, QbBasic integrates effortlessly into existing hardware and software systems – from initial prototypes to full-scale customer deployments.
QbProtect – Smart 3D Security with Minimal False Alarms
QbProtect is the security-focused member of the Qb family, designed specifically to safeguard sensitive indoor and outdoor areas. The sensor delivers precise object detection and reduces false alarms by filtering out irrelevant motion, such as small animals or vegetation, based on true object size – ensuring reliable performance and tailored security.
The rugged, IP67-rated hardware withstands extreme weather and lighting conditions and operates practically maintenance-free thanks to its solid-state design. QbProtect integrates seamlessly with leading VMS platforms, supports ONVIF-compatible alarms, and reliably communicates with existing security systems. Additional built-in features include sabotage and malfunction detection via integrated sensors.
QbVolume – Real-Time Automated Volume Measurement
QbVolume combines robust hardware with intelligent on-device software and an intuitive dashboard, forming a true all-in-one solution for automated volume measurement. The software processes 3D LiDAR data to deliver precise volume calculations using customizable virtual zones that account for material slope angles and storage conditions. By fusing multiple sensors, even large storage areas can be reliably covered.
QbVolume ensures consistent measurement results, even in challenging environments such as dusty warehouses or outdoor storage sites. The system is low-maintenance, quick to install, and optimized for continuous operation indoors and outdoors.
