Lidar stands for "Light Detection and Ranging". Sometimes also referenced as "laser scanning" or "3D scanning". This technology uses lasers safe for the human eye to create a model of the monitored environment, based on which it is then possible to find obstacles and avoid them. In industrial automation and robotics, it can replace demanding and expensive robotic visions or sensors and scanners.
With the development of industrial automation, which is now an integral part of the vast majority of manufacturing companies, robots are increasingly being used, which are gradually replacing monotonous or health-threatening human labor. The advantages of robots are clear. These tireless helpers work regardless of working hours, with great accuracy and speed. In times of labor shortages, they are also a possible solution where there is a shortage of employees.
