Innoviz, Outsight partner to accelerate LiDAR adoption in smart cities, industrial applications

Paris, France and Tel Aviv, Israel – Innoviz Technologies, a technology provider of high-performance, solid-state LiDAR sensors and perception software, announced its partnership with Outsight. Outsight’s Spatial Intelligence software, the company’s real-time edge processing and cloud capability platform, offers a plug-and-play solution for effectively integrating 3D LiDAR data into any infrastructure, industrial or vehicle application.

Outsight’s Software, together with Innoviz’s LiDAR products will aim to facilitate and accelerate the adoption of 3D LiDAR technology beyond the ADAS market –

  • Infrastructure applications: Intelligent transportation systems (ITS), security and people flow monitoring
  • Commercial vehicle and robot applications: Construction equipment, logistics and service robotics
  • Industrial applications: Volume measurement, industrial equipment, safety and agriculture
  • Innoviz’s high-performance LiDAR sensors meet the automotive industry’s requirements for performance and safety. They are purpose-built to be rugged, affordable, reliable, lightweight, high-performing and integrable, and are ideally suited to enable a wide range of non-automotive use-cases that require mature solutions.

    Outsight’s Spatial Intelligence Software makes LiDAR technology easier to use in any project, both in real-time (edge processing) and the cloud, including essential features like LiDAR SLAM, object detection and tracking, classification and segmentation. As a recognised provider of the LiDAR processing software category and a founding member of the LiDAR Coalition, of which Innoviz is also a founding member, Outsight’s solutions have been widely embraced in a number of markets and dozens of different use cases throughout Europethe United StatesAsia and the Middle East.

    “We aren’t in the early days of LiDAR anymore. At that time demonstration-level sensor prototypes and research-level algorithms were sufficient to ignite the market and gave birth to the current leaders in LiDAR hardware and software. Non-automotive markets that will deploy LiDAR at scale require a whole new level of maturity, with high-performing and reliable hardware like Innoviz’s LiDAR sensors, combined with scalable and easy to use software solutions like Outsight’s.” says Raul Bravo, president co-founder of Outsight. “We’re glad to be working with Innoviz on innovative offerings thanks to the complementary technology and talent of both organisations.”

    “Our award-winning LiDAR technology is already being used to monitor pedestrian safety in Los Angeles, improve operational efficiency and safety across shipping ports in China, automate crane systems on construction sites in Japan and more,” says Omer Keilaf, co-founder and CEO of Innoviz. “We’re excited to partner with Outsight to continue to accelerate adoption of our LiDAR technologies and power use cases also across ITS, Smart infrastructure, smart industrial and more.”

    Outsight will demonstrate the collaboration with Innoviz LiDAR during CES 2023 at Innoviz’s booth #6553 during the show dates, January 5-8, and will present the use-case with Innoviz LiDAR on Wednesday, January 52pm, at Innoviz’s booth #6553, followed by a Q&A session.
