Blickfeld is launching the delivery of its Qb2 device to customers and partners, following its concept announcement at CES 2022. Qb2 is based on Blickfeld’s proprietary solid-state software-defined LiDAR technology, and, as an industry first, enables the capturing and processing of data on a single device, removing the need for additional computers and bringing faster insights, improved response times and better bandwidth availability via edge computing. Companies benefit from high efficiency gains through enriched, actionable real-time 3D data for example in the areas of volume monitoring of bulk materials, crowd analytics, and smart infrastructure, automatically fed into their IT systems like the ERP or the cloud. Furthermore, installation and maintenance costs are kept low due to the on-device WiFi connectivity. Qb2 offers improved functionalities and performance parameters like enhanced adaptable field of view (FoV), detection range and scan pattern, plus higher resolution, accuracy and an IP67 rating.

Using Blickfeld’s Percept software, the Smart LiDAR solves complex challenges in a variety of applications. For those looking to source volume monitoring data, for example, the mining, agricultural, or construction industries, Qb2 empowers on-demand, remote and precise monitoring and management of inventory across multiple locations as well as the optimization and digitalization of the value chain. Where Blickfeld’s LiDAR Cube 1 has already revolutionised stockpile monitoring processes for leading companies, Qb2 will provide companies with an even more powerful, versatile and cost-efficient solution. Furthermore, in the multifaceted areas of crowd analytics and Smart Infrastructure, Qb2 provides crowd analytics capabilities within retail and also public spaces.
