Konica Minolta and SICK enter a Strategic Alliance in further development of advanced LiDAR-Technology

As a first step, Konica Minolta will supply a modified version of its independently developed 3-D LiDAR to SICK on an OEM basis. SICK has added to this its AppSpace platform which is focusing on Sensor Intelligence for Factory and Logistics automation markets. Furthermore, the two companies have started joint development of products and solutions, drawing on the broad and complementary technology portfolio of both companies, in order to offer novel value added sensor solutions for the fast growing automation market.
