Ouster’s 3D digital lidar will replace legacy 2D sensors to enable higher levels of autonomyBALYO, a technological leader in the design and development of innovative robotic solutions for material handling trucks, recently announced that it has signed a strategic customer agreement with Ouster, Inc., a leading provider of high-resolution digital lidar sensors for the industrial automation, smart infrastructure, robotics, and automotive industries, to deploy Ouster’s 3D digital lidar on its robotic forklifts. As part of the multi-year agreement, Ouster will supply its OS0 ultra-wide view sensor to BALYO. The upgrade from legacy 2D lidar sensors to Ouster’s 3D digital lidar is expected to enhance existing capabilities and add new functionality, including: 3D localization in complex surroundings, smart and auto-rearming 3D software safety to effectively create a safety “bubble” around the robotic forklifts, navigation on routes and circuits, energy efficiency, and remote monitoring. By switching to Ouster’s 3D digital lidar, BALYO plans to further improve its autonomous forklifts so they can safely and efficiently operate anytime, anywhere with minimal human oversight. About BALYO:Pascal Rialland, CEO of BALYO and leader in the design and development of innovative robotic solutions for material handling trucks, shared that BALYO considerably strengthened commercial development prospects.
