for Mining and construction

Productivity Improvement with L-CAS™

Heavy-duty vehicles are essential for handling demanding tasks in mining and construction industries. Driving and reversing e.g. skid steers can be quite challenging, especially since visibility is often extremely limited. To avoid collisions and minimize downtime, MicroVision's 3D lidar collision avoidance system (L-CAS) identifies obstacles and barriers, triggers alerts or even automatic braking. The fully integrated sensor with onboard perception software is a cost-effective retrofit solution to reduce repair costs, minimize downtime, and increases operating speed to optimize productivity.

Data Collection and Ground Mapping

Solid-state 3D lidar systems mounted on drones or aircraft can cover large areas quickly. It is ideal for topographic mapping and monitoring the condition of infrastructure, such as roads and bridges. With its onboard perception software, MAVIN® N can collect data and improve accuracy in measurements to facilitate better decision-making. Dynamic route planning to find optimal paths and avoid bottlenecks as well as increased efficiency in surveying and mapping, reduce the time and labor required for these tasks. Both lead to cost savings in project planning and execution.

Safety Enhancement with 3D Zone Detection

Operating heavy machinery, such as track excavators or paving compactors, requires training and experience. To support workers in their daily tasks and improve safety and maneuverability by providing a clearer view, a 3D lidar solution is an excellent upgrade. It can be used for site scanning and monitoring construction sites to identify hazards in real time. 3D zone detection helps to identify people and obstacles, enabling better planning, quicker reactions, and safer working environments.

Overcoming challenging conditions

Transportation delays, reduced operational productivity, and an increased risk of accidents: demanding weather conditions are challenging every project, especially in the mining and construction industries. A 3D lidar solution offers significant advantages in low light, excessive brightness, or dusty environments.

MicroVision's MOVIA™ L ensures reliable operations even under vibrations, 50 Gs shocks, and temperature ranges from -40°C to +80°C.
