Level Five Supplies has further cemented its status as Europe’s leading LiDAR specialist with the launch of a new partnership with SICK.

Sensor intelligence

Adding to a portfolio of leading-edge sensing solutions for automotive, security and robotics applications, SICK, a LiDAR technology and market leader, offers a range of products designed for factory, logistics and process automation.

Their 2D and 3D LiDAR sensors provide sensor intelligence and application solutions, forming a high performance, highly reliable basis for controlling processes securely and efficiently. SICK sensors collect data, evaluate it in real time, adapt to the environment, and communicate in the network, assisting in the prevention of pedestrian harm and preventing damage to the environment.
