This year, the Utopia Stage at Rock am Ring belonged to Blickfeld LiDAR sensors! A total of six sensors have been installed above the main stage of the popular music festival to capture test recordings for the LidarPredict project, supported by mFUND.

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.

A central factor in the perimeter protection of private and public security areas is the reliable and early detection of intrusion attempts – in any weather and even in darkness. This is particularly essential in critical infrastructure to prevent sabotage, for example, against power and water supply facilities or the railway network.

Digitalization has become a necessity for companies to stay competitive. In a recent webinar, Terje Noevig discussed how LiDAR technology can support digitalization efforts and enhance business operations by sharing customer examples.

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.

The Transportation Center (Verkehrszentrum) in Munich now features a Blickfeld LiDAR sensor within an exhibition on the Future of Mobility.

In a guest article for all-electronics.de, a widely read magazine on industrial digitization and automation, Blickfeld co-founder Florian Petit discusses the remarkable transformation that LiDAR technology has seen in the last five years. The focus is on three applications that show how LiDAR solutions deliver added value to companies in different industries:

A conversation with Luisa Martens, Chief Marketing Officer at Blickfeld

• 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. 

A conversation with Mike Yang, General Manager of Blickfeld Optoelectronics Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd

Mike Yang became part of the Blickfeld management team as Head of Sales China, and in this chat, he shares his plans for the Chinese market and one of his most valuable learnings from the past years.

The terrible images of the 2010 Love Parade in Duisburg are still fresh in people’s minds. From a density of six people per square meter, the risk increases sharply that one can no longer move freely. There is then a danger that individuals will simply be swept along by the crowd and lose control of their direction of movement. Modern crowd management can help prevent this. 

In Munich, the days are getting shorter, the city is decorated and even the first snow has already fallen – in short, the year 2022 is drawing to a close. As every year, we like to use this time to look back on the past 12 months and see what has happened.
