Product Introduction
LiDAR LOC is an embedded positioning software for AGVs/AMRs. Maps can be used to create usable maps based on the environmental information collected by LiDAR, and mobile positioning data for AGVs and AMRs is provided in the form of UDP data output (x, y, and deflection angles). CAD-compliant map files in *.dxf format are also available. In addition, the LiDAR LOC supports the reflector function, and the map editing software SMET (which is used together with the LiDAR LOC) can realize the functions of map creation, reflector addition, and virtual path addition. With easy access to a browser, the LiDAR LOC interface will open.
The LiDAR LOC from SICK fulfills the requirements for a high-performance positioning solution for individual vehicle concepts. It solves many application problems, is easy to configure, and performs well. Reliable positioning solutions are the basis for driverless navigation, ensuring unimpeded material flows and are therefore a fundamental part of effective fleet management.
Mounted platform
LiDAR LOC can be selected SIM1000 SICK controller, or Windows/Linux industrial computer [IPC] (see below for configuration requirements)

Feature Expansion Packs
Virtual path functionality
The LiDAR LOC is an extension of the capabilities to simplify navigation with physical and/or virtual tracks and code, simplify vehicle path planning and control, and adjust route layouts quickly and easily, including eliminating the need for time-consuming changes to physical tracks, bypassing damaged tracks to improve usability.
It can be mixed with SICK sensors GLS (2D barcode), OLS (fluorescence), and MLS (magnetic stripe).
