Tokyo Boeki Techno-Systems Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Tokyo Boeki Group, has successfully conducted a co-creation project with NetOne Systems Co., Ltd. at the Innovation Center netone valley. This collaboration has led to the successful verification of a “Layout-Free LiDAR” system powered by local 5G technology.
Understanding LiDAR Technology
LiDAR stands for Light Detection and Ranging. This technology uses laser beams to scan objects. It measures distances and captures shapes by using reflected light. These measurements turn into point cloud data with 3D coordinates. This allows for accurate spatial analysis.
Project Background
Industries are facing a shrinking global workforce. So, they are using digital technology. This helps automate manufacturing, cut labor needs, and boost productivity. LiDAR is key in improving manufacturing. It collects and analyzes data in real time. However, traditional LiDAR systems require wired connections due to their high data-processing demands. This limitation makes it hard to use LiDAR on moving objects, like cranes, or in big places, such as ports and mountains.
