Press Releases

At the Powtech 2023 trade fair in Nuremberg, Blickfeld presents an award-winning LiDAR-based solution for volume monitoring of bulk materials. This enables companies to access digital inventory information at any time and thus significantly enhances their material management efficiency.

The solution for real-time inventory tracking, awarded with the Best of Technology Award 2023 presented by Wirtschaftswoche, paves the way for companies toward the digital supply chain.

Blickfeld, a developer and manufacturer of cutting-edge LiDAR technology, has won the Best of Technology Award 2023 in the Purchase & Supply Chain Management category with a digital solution for real-time volume measurement of material stocks. The award, presented by Wirtschaftswoche, a prominent German business magazine, in collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research (ISI), the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), and the consulting firm Capgemini, recognizes companies for the most innovative IT applications and disruptive digital solutions.

Blickfeld will be showcasing the Smart LiDAR Qb2 – a finalist for the Best of Sensors Awards 2023 – live for the first time at the Sensors Converge 2023.

At the SOLIDS 2023 trade show, Blickfeld will showcase a 3D LiDAR-based solution for bulk material volume monitoring that gives companies access to digital on-demand information about their inventories across locations.

• Blickfeld announces a strategic partnership with robotics technology company, CubiQ, to efficiently automate and digitalize warehouse incoming and outgoing processes.
• CubiQ freight measurement solutions with integrated Blickfeld Cube 1 LiDAR sensors are offered under the name CubiQ-X, delivering dimensional weight (DIM) in less than two seconds and providing up to 99 percent accuracy.
• CubiQ-X is the only system on the market that can measure pallets secured with black stretch wrap and isn’t affected by reflective light conditions.
• 200 CubiQ Systems have already been installed and are operational globally for companies like Procter & Gamble and DHL and can be updated to CubiQ-X for even better performance. 

The LiDAR company targets China as a core market by founding a local branch, inaugurating a new office and building an expert team in Shanghai.

Blickfeld relies on leading manufacturing service provider for series production of the world’s first smart LiDAR, the Qb2, to meet growing global demand.

• Blickfeld announces the delivery of its Qb2 LiDAR sensor, the industry’s first Smart LiDAR sensor, providing the software stack and WiFi connectivity in one device.

Blickfeld’s LiDAR sensor technology is being applied for research in various use cases with the goal of evaluating autonomous functions for enhanced efficiency in agricultural machinery and equipment

At POWTECH 2022, Blickfeld will showcase a solution for measuring the volume of bulk material, in real time – making the asset management process more efficient and enabling companies to digitally record their inventory.

• Demo “Volume measurement with 3D LiDAR” at the Blickfeld booth 3-677 in Hall 3.
• Presentation “Accurate on-demand volume measurement of bulk materials with 3D LiDAR Sensors”: Joachim Dilger, Blickfeld GmbH, on Sept. 28, 3:30-4:00 p.m., expert forum stage talks in Hall 3, Booth 3-153.

Blickfeld’s 3D LiDAR solutions measure the precise distance and size of intruding objects and people for perimeter security systems. The associated detection software “Percept” allows for reliable alarm triggers, distinguishing between people and smaller objects, meaning false alarms caused by small animals for instance, can be effectively avoided. Meeting the highest security requirements, Blickfeld’s solutions are ideally suited for critical infrastructure uses.

• Security live demo at the Blickfeld booth, hall 6, booth 6A26.
• Security experts forum: Presentation by Raphael Peyman, Blickfeld GmbH, on September 20th at 1:15p.m in Hall 6: “Highest Security for Critical Infrastructures through LiDAR Sensors.”

• The research aims to develop a train shunting assistance system based on an advanced sensor set including Blickfeld LiDAR technology
• It represents a significant step forward to safe and efficient shunting of freight trains and allows for the introduction of autonomous features
• Reliable and accurate automated detection of objects on the tracks helps avoid collision without exposing workers to hazards
