The M8-1 Plus LIDAR Sensor w/ SW SDK is a proven LiDAR powerhouse. This compact and rugged sensor comes at a breakthrough price and was designed to meet the demands of the most challenging real-world applications.

Multiple laser beams and Time-of-Flight (TOF) range measurement result in 3D point clouds for spatial sensing. The M8 is the first cost-effective, high-definition TOF LiDAR sensor enabling ubiquitous use of smart sensing in harsh environments.

The sensor operates reliably under challenging lighting and weather conditions including dust, mist, rain, and snow. Several models are available in the M8 family of LiDAR sensors to better serve Quanergy’s diverse customer base and market applications.

The M8 LiDAR sensor is designed and manufactured under the highest quality and reliability standards, which include compliance with Quanergy's ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system. As a result of serving the automotive industry, the M8 was developed from the ground up to be a highly robust and dependable product.

Quanergy’s 3D-sensing M8 LiDAR sensor enables new applications in the security, industrial automation, transportation, and mapping markets that have not been commercially feasible due to the high cost of existing LiDAR sensors. Quanergy’s smart sensing solutions can be applied to a variety of platforms (e.g., vehicles, robots, production tools, monitoring stations) to enable rapid 3D detection, measurement, tracking, identification and classification of items, as well as triggering actions based on real-time scenario analysis powered by QORTEX, Quanergy’s advanced perception software.

Transportation: Vehicle accidents due to blind spots, poor visibility, changes in traffic flow, and distraction can be virtually eliminated through the use of LiDAR in Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles (AVs).

Security: Homes, buildings, and land can be made more secure and managed intelligently through LiDAR-based surveillance and smart detection.

Industrial Automation: Factories, warehouses, and distribution centers can be run more efficiently and safely.

Mapping: Highly detailed and accurate 3D maps can be created to improve navigation and survey land via terrestrial and aerial mapping.
