In recent years, the trend toward automated, autonomous, and electrified mining machinery has accelerated, and there is a growing need for solutions that streamline and optimize not only mining machinery but also overall mining operations. Against this backdrop,
Through this investment,
Baraja's Spectrum-Scan LiDAR uses a prism-like optical sensor head to measure distances to objects in all directions with high resolution, and is exceptionally durable because it has few moving parts in its mechanism. With active contracts in place in mines and a great deal of expertise in operating in mining environments, we believe it is optimal to utilize this technological expertise in the development of automation and autonomous operation at
Going forward, we will continue to provide 'Solution Linkage' solutions that utilize ICT and IoT called to customers in the mining industry around the world to help them achieve the higher levels of safety and productivity they seek. Furthermore, we will accelerate our open innovation activities, including investments with startups that are necessary for our business strategy, such as our recent investment in Baraja.
LiDAR...Abbreviation for Light Detection And Ranging. This technology detects the shape of an object and the distance to the object by irradiating the object with a laser beam and capturing the reflected light with a sensor.
