LiDAR Sensors
Our LiDAR sensors deliver high-precision 3D perception for automotive, robotics, and mapping applications. Using laser pulses to create detailed point clouds, these systems enable accurate environmental modeling for autonomous vehicles and industrial automation. The technology supports centimetre-level range precision and advanced noise-filtering for reliable performance in diverse conditions.
Inertial Navigation Systems
Combining MEMS sensors with GNSS, our inertial navigation systems provide real-time positioning and orientation data. These systems maintain accuracy in GNSS-denied environments through advanced sensor fusion algorithms. Applications include automotive testing, ADAS development, and precision surveying where uninterrupted navigation is critical.
Vehicle Networking
We supply automotive Ethernet components for real-time vehicle communication systems. Our solutions include media converters, capture modules, and network devices that enable reliable data flow between ECUs, sensors, and data loggers. These systems support development and validation of advanced driver assistance technologies through robust, high-speed data transmission.
Speed Measurement
Our non-contact speed measurement solutions provide slip-free velocity data for automotive testing and industrial applications. Using optical correlation and GNSS technologies, these systems deliver high-accuracy speed and distance measurements. They are essential for brake testing, traction control validation, and vehicle dynamics analysis in demanding environments.
