Subversive technology
The second generation digital lidar released by Oster this year is the best proof of digital lidar technology itself. Using simple semiconductor-based technology instead of complex traditional architecture, Ouster decouples the price and performance of lidar and accelerates the whole research, development, production and application of lidar.
Angus? Paakala (deposed? CEO) mentioned: "The core advantage of Ouster digital lidar architecture is the fundamental reason for us to win customers in various industries. Digital CMOS technology is the future of lidar, and Oster is the first company to develop, manufacture, own patents and successfully commercialize digital lidar. When customers really experience that they can get high-resolution and high-reliability digital lidar at a very low cost, I believe they will continue to use traditional lidar for no reason. "
Oster's latest second generation digital lidar
Won the core customers in various markets.
Expulsion has won more than 800 customers from 15 application market, including Konecranes, Postmates, Ike and May? Mobility, Kodiak? Robots, the coast? Autonomy, Huier Intelligence, Hongjing Zhijia, Canoe Zhixing, Huituo Intelligence, NASA, Stanford University, MIT.
IKE self-driving truck equipped with lidar
Among them, Ike is the world's leading self-driving truck company, and its evaluation of Ouster's digital lidar still performs well under Ike's strict requirements, so it stands out among similar products. Nancy, co-founder and chief engineer of Ike? Sun said: "Oster's digital lidar products have helped us to complete the mission of making safer and more efficient trucks. Digital lidar provides us with ultra-high resolution, meets the requirements of blind spot detection, has excellent reliability and can be used on trucks for a long time. ? Expulsion is a very good partner, they can listen to our feedback at any time and improve their products. "
Accelerated income growth
In the past 12 months, Oster's total revenue increased by 62%, mainly because most customers gave up the choice of traditional lidar and switched to Oster's high-resolution digital lidar. According to the world's leading analysis company Yole? Development and recent financial reports, Ouster's revenue ranks second among high-resolution lidar companies, and the growth rate far exceeds the first. With more and more customers receiving samples one after another, the demand for Oster's second-generation lidar quickly reached an inflection point. Under the global spread of coronavirus pneumonia-19, the total expulsion orders in the third quarter still increased by 209% year-on-year.
In response to the strong global demand in the past year, Oster opened offices in Paris, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Hong Kong and Suzhou to expand global sales and improve customer service. At the same time, Oster also cooperated with Benchmark (manufacturer certified by IATF16949) to expand the overseas production of lidar to meet the growing demand. ?
Uster's customers are very diverse, including factory and port automation, AGV, robotics, mining, agriculture, new infrastructure and so on. In addition, there is autonomous driving, which makes its total target market reach at least 60 billion US dollars by 2030.
Measured point cloud of 128 line digital lidar
Highly competitive lidar product line
The latest second-generation digital laser radar, which was launched in June 5438+ 10 this year, covers a full range of short-range, medium-range and long-range products, all of which can reach the resolution of 128 line and meet various application requirements:
OS0 ultra wide-angle lidar, with a maximum vertical field of view of 90 degrees, can be used for indoor and outdoor navigation and blind spot detection.
OS 1 medium range lidar, 120? M detection distance and 45 degree vertical viewing angle
OS2 long-range lidar, more than 200? The detection distance of m can meet the demand of high-speed automatic driving.
Compared with similar products, digital lidar is in a leading position in resolution and reliability. More importantly, such products provide customers with lower prices to achieve large-scale commercial deployment. At present, all products have been shipped to customers, and 50 different configurations are provided to meet the application needs of customers.
