LightIC and Hokuyo Reach Joint Development Partnership for FMCW LiDAR

LightIC, a global leader in FMCW LiDAR technology, and Hokuyo, an international leader in industrial sensors, have officially announced their partnership to jointly develop FMCW LiDAR for the next generation of industrial applications. This cooperation not only reflects the joint commitment of both parties to innovation, but also fulfills their mission of creating value for customers.

Advantages

Since its establishment in 1946, Hokuyo has stood out in the field of industrial sensors due to its profound professional knowledge and outstanding pursuit of innovative technology. Hokuyo not only actively promotes product technology upgrades and iterations, but also collaborates closely with numerous high-tech companies, research institutions, and universities around the world to explore the cutting-edge fields of sensor technology and promote the rapid transformation and application of technology. This collaboration with LightIC perfectly integrates Hokuyo’s leading position in industrial sensing solutions with LightIC’s cutting-edge innovation in FMCW lidar technology. Together, the two sides will create FMCW lidar that exceeds the rapidly evolving needs of today’s industrial environment.

LightIC, as a leader in the next-generation FMCW laser radar technology, has gained widespread recognition worldwide for its profound expertise in the development of FMCW laser radar systems integrated with silicon optical chips. Its core FMCW technology, with significant advantages such as high-precision ranging, multi-dimensional speed information, strong anti-interference ability, and image level super-resolution, has demonstrated strong transformative power in ADAS, autonomous driving, and industrial applications. Through this collaboration with Hokuyo, LightIC will further expand its technological applications by introducing advanced FMCW technology into the industrial sector. Together with Hokuyo, they will drive innovation in industrial sensing technology, demonstrating their commitment to meeting current and future market demands through cutting-edge solutions.

Significance

Through this collaboration, both parties will jointly launch a new solution that redefines industrial sensing, providing strong technical support for the development of intelligent manufacturing. FMCW laser radar technology perfectly meets the demand for high-precision multi line laser radar in advanced application fields such as industrial automation, AI robots, ITS, and security solutions due to its high-precision distance measurement, direct velocity detection, ultra-low latency, and excellent environmental adaptability.

The joint development cooperation between Hokuyo and LightIC not only deeply reflects the common vision of both parties in technological innovation and market expansion, but also highlights the high synergy between the two parties in professional technical accumulation, elite team strength, and global strategic blueprint. By integrating the advantageous resources of both parties, we will jointly lead the innovative trend of FMCW technology, meet the forward-looking demands of the global market, and promote the continuous progress of FMCW technology.
