Ouster added to the Sentech portfolio
In measurement challenges that require three-dimensional environmental perception—such as navigation, object detection, or environmental monitoring—lidar is often the most suitable technology.
We have added Ouster to our technology portfolio, a respected manufacturer of digital lidar sensors for industrial automation, robotics, mobility, and smart infrastructure.
Sentech operates independently of specific technologies: the application determines which sensor is best suited, and we select our technology partners based on quality, roadmap, and continuity. Ouster meets that standard.
When is lidar the right choice?
Lidar is relevant when accurate 3D data is needed in dynamic or complex environments. Think of AGV's and mobile robots that need to navigate safely, machine safety where objects must be reliably detected at close range, or infrastructure monitoring where a complete spatial image is required.
Ouster’s digital architecture stands out in several ways that are practically relevant to engineers:
-
High-resolution 3D imaging, suitable for object detection and navigation, even at short distances.
-
Robust performance in challenging conditions such as rain, dust, vibrations, or varying light conditions.
-
Modular platform; the same sensors can be used in different applications without the need for constant reconfiguration.
-
Standardized interfaces and SDKs that help you quickly prototype or upgrade an existing machine.
The 3D point cloud generated by lidar shows thousands of measurement points that together form a 3D image of the environment. This enables machines to recognize objects and navigate safely.
Our approach remains the same
Ouster expands our technological scope. We always start with your application: what is the measurement challenge, what are the environmental requirements, and what is the best technological choice? Sometimes that’s lidar. Sometimes radar, vision, or another sensor technology. We select and build the solution entirely in-house: from engineering and (custom) assembly to validation and supply chain management.
''Ouster builds lidar sensors that perform where it counts: in complex environments, over extended periods, and across diverse applications. This aligns with what our customers expect from us, and with what we expect from our technology partners.''
Egbert Stellinga – Product Manager, Sentech
