The startup is gearing up for the series production launch of its Cube1 and Cube Range 1 products and has already deployed its technology in several larger-scale projects including passenger flow detection at airports and volume measurement of bulk material in product warehouses. However, the applications of LiDAR technology don’t simply stop and start with mobility, as the sensing technology has found use in smart city management, industrial applications in the areas of warehousing, construction, and mining areas, and naturally, the security sector with its ability to detect, tally, and track just about anything that passes through its field of vision. Florian Petit, and Rolf Wojtech, Blickfeld, which translates to ‘field of view’, specialises in producing one of, if not the, key components in autonomous transportation high-resolution 3D sensors (and the associated software to make sense of the gathered data) that essentially act as the ‘eyes’ of the vehicle. Including this extension, the Bavarian company has netted a total of $41 million.įounded in 2017 by Dr. With the new funding, the company plans the continued development of its autonomous mobility and IoT applications-focused sensors and software solutions alongside international expansion efforts with the opening of offices in the US and Asia. Munich’s Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensor maker Blickfeld has announced an extension of their Series A round (first announced in March of this year), now at $31 million.
