While Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensor technology was initially developed and positioned for Three-Dimensional (3D) map making, surveying, and autonomous driving (the agenda of which has now been pushed to the second half of this decade), it is now ready for deployment in several Internet of Things (IoT) markets and verticals.

This coincides with technological innovation, such as the shift from mechanical to solid-state LiDAR sensors and the maturity of 3D perception software that enable the integration into and the automation of a growing number of important processes and applications. This extends the opportunity for LiDAR manufacturers to not only serve highly competitive, concentrated, and price-sensitive markets like automotive, but also several large IoT markets, such as security, smart cities, and industrial automation, characterized by a larger and more diversified end-customer base.

This webinar, in partnership with Quanergy, presents highlights of a recent thought leadership report that defines the important role of LiDAR in industrial automation, smart cities, security, and automotive markets.

Order online, and you can get nearly anything delivered to your door within two days. That we take this outcome for granted is the result of the behind-the-scenes technology used for warehousing and logistics today. As our expectations for e-commerce have expanded, the time allowed for delivery has shrunk from days to hours or even minutes. For those in the industry, that translates into a sustained surge for Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and a need to plan for optimized integration.

According to ABI Research, worldwide WMS market revenues will have a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of over 23% from 2021 to 2030, bringing total revenue above the US$10 billion mark by 2030. That means it would have quadrupled from the $2.5 billion it was at in 2020. Managing warehouses at the level of efficiency required to meet increasing retail demands requires a system of smart, integrated solutions.
