Profile
Sells digital lidar, ZED cameras, AI compute, and perception software to industrial, robotics, automotive, and smart-infrastructure customers worldwide. Product shipments drive most revenue, while a shared sensor architecture and acquired vision capabilities support a combined hardware-and-software platform.
Designs and sells OS digital lidar sensors, ZED stereo and monocular cameras, AI compute hardware, and perception software worldwide for industrial automation, robotics, automotive systems, and smart infrastructure. Gemini combines lidar, edge processing, and analytics for security, logistics, and crowd monitoring; BlueCity supports traffic operations, planning, and road safety.
Uses a shared digital-lidar architecture across sensor models and combines it with Stereolabs vision technology for machines and fixed infrastructure. Revenue comes primarily from product shipments, with software and licensing alongside hardware. Customer programs can require lengthy testing and qualification, while laser-safety, export-control, and application-specific standards shape deployment. Higher-volume sensor production relies on contract manufacturers in Thailand.
