[30-07-2025] — A groundbreaking new solution is now available, combining the strengths of Opsys, Blue Band, and Flasheye to deliver the world’s first smart LiDAR system designed for high-volume, large-scale deployment. Cities and organizations can access a LiDAR-based sensing solution with the simplicity and affordability of a camera, but with the unmatched precision and intelligence of LiDAR.
This new sensor solution, now offered globally, sets a new standard for real-time intelligence, safety automation, and infrastructure monitoring. It is built to overcome the traditional barriers that have slowed LiDAR adoption: high costs, complex installations, and dependence on external computing.
The launch marks a turning point for LiDAR, similar to what happened in the camera industry more than a decade ago. When cameras became smart they could be installed by anyone, without formal training. That change made it possible for smart cameras to spread quickly across homes, businesses, and entire cities. The key was ease of deployment. This is exactly the breakthrough now taking place with LiDAR. The system installs like a camera and works as a self-contained smart sensor, with no server or external computer required.
The product is purpose-built for scale. It is ideal for cities, infrastructure operators, and private companies, even in price-sensitive markets where camera systems were the only realistic option in the past. At the same time, LiDAR delivers far more than cameras ever could: precise 3D awareness and reliable performance in all lighting and weather conditions.
The system includes full integration capabilities with platforms used in security, traffic, and smart city operations. It features high-quality sensing with low energy consumption, offering both performance and sustainability. For anyone exploring LiDAR for the first time, this product offers a straightforward and affordable path, easy to deploy, but built for serious, real-world use.
"This marks the beginning of a new era in sensing technology," said a spokesperson for the collaboration. "By removing the cost and technical barriers that have limited LiDAR to niche use cases, we’re opening up powerful new possibilities for automation, safety, and data-driven decision-making in public spaces."
Opsys contributes its advanced real-time edge-based LiDAR technology, as highlighted in its recent announcement. Blue Band and Flasheye bring expertise in scalable system integration and deployment, making this a strong and forward-looking partnership between leaders in their fields.
With launches underway in multiple markets, the solution is set to change how mobility, safety, and infrastructure are managed. And this is just the start. Deeper integration and further cross-industry collaborations are already in progress.
