en.Wedoany.com Reported - Aeva Technologies (NASDAQ: AEVA) and sensor solution provider SICK have announced a collaboration to apply Aeva's Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) technology to industrial sensing. SICK has introduced the first sensor in its portfolio based on Aeva's FMCW technology, designed to enhance performance in industrial measurement applications.
As manufacturing processes become more complex, FMCW sensing technology is achieving higher levels of precision, reliability, and performance. Aeva's FMCW architecture combines silicon integrated photonics and advanced signal processing to deliver highly accurate distance and velocity measurements over long ranges, including in challenging conditions for traditional optical sensing technologies, such as bright or metallic surfaces.
Unlike traditional time-of-flight and triangulation methods, FMCW sensing technology is immune to ambient light, eliminates sensor-to-sensor interference, operates reliably on hot surfaces, and directly measures velocity as well as distance. These capabilities enable manufacturers to achieve more precise and reliable measurements in demanding industrial environments. By leveraging Aeva's technology, SICK is bringing these differentiating capabilities to industrial automation at scale.
Dr. Florian Schneider, Senior Vice President of Industrial Sensing R&D at SICK, stated that the technology collaboration with Aeva is a key step in advancing FMCW-based distance measurement in industrial applications. By combining Aeva's leadership in FMCW technology with SICK's experience in high-performance automation, the two companies are transforming this innovation into robust real-world solutions.
Mina Rezk, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Aeva, said that FMCW sensing technology opens new possibilities for industrial automation by enabling high-precision measurements in conditions where traditional optical sensing often struggles. The partnership with SICK demonstrates how Aeva's technology can solve manufacturing challenges in the real world.
Aeva Technologies is a company focused on perception technology, with product lines covering autonomous driving, manufacturing automation, smart infrastructure, robotics, and consumer devices. Through a platform integrating chip-level LiDAR technology, system-on-chip processing, and perception algorithms, the company provides 4D LiDAR sensors that simultaneously detect velocity and position for automated equipment.
