Industrial
Designing for the next generation of industrial automation.
Visualize DataMultiply the workforce.
The industrial market is the backbone of the global supply chain and easily prone to delays and disruptions. With autonomous solutions, the positive change on industry will be impactful, from how we grow food, mine resources, and build buildings to how we solve major supply and workforce challenges. Automating equipment is the key to improving labor conditions, confronting waste, reducing fuel consumption, and lowering manufacturing costs. With Ouster’s high-performance lidar sensors, technology that is as rugged as it is scalable and adaptable can power the next step in industrial automation evolution.
Harsh environments require solutions that can handle
the terrain and reliably keep people out of danger.
Mining
We’re using lidar sensors to automate repetitive and dangerous tasks to keep miners out of risk and increase the efficiency of both open pit and underground mining.
Reliable and durable.
Rated for 30,000 hours of continuous use with an average product lifespan of over 100,000 hours, built for real world shock and vibe (IEC 60068-2-27, 2-64, 2-29), and rated for performance between -40° to +85°C means no-downtime operations practically anywhere in the world.
Long range.
Range up to 200m on a 10% target and a max range of over 400m for complete visibility.
Weather and lighting condition agnostic.
Ouster lidar sensors are rated for IP68 (immersion in > 1 m of water) and IP69K (withstands 2000 psi power washing), maintain high visibility in snow, bright light, and complete darkness, and are performant between -40° and +85° C.
High performance in visual obscurants.
Ouster lidar sensors are specially built to be ultra performant in visual obscurants such as snow, fog, rain, and dust.
No blind spots.
Long range lidar sensors paired with shorter range, 90° or 180° FoV sensors mean that a vehicle can have 360° coverage without any blind spots, which means they are completely safe to operate on a site alongside workers.
Build a stronger food system that benefits all.
Agriculture
We're helping agricultural innovators solve food shortages through the next generation of industrial machines so that healthy food is accessible to everyone.
Lidar based systems are inherently suited to perform in all lighting conditions, from extremely bright sunlight to pitch dark environments. Challenges of performance at night and when confronted with shadows are no longer blockers for agriculture based autonomy.
Bluewhite and Ouster
We are driven to solve the challenges that humans face – food scarcity, and labor shortages – by building a life-long solution for the modern farmer.

Autonomy in the warehouse means workers can focus their effort where its really needed.
Warehouse Automation
We're reducing forklift accidents, enhancing material handling, and powering a smarter supply chain.
- Common edge cases that plague 2D lidar integrations, like identifying empty pallets on the ground, recognizing gates or overhangs, or detecting cliffs, are all solved with a 3D integration.
- With ultrawide field of view sensors (90° and 180°) it’s possible to reduce and optimize vehicle sensor suites.
- 3D SLAM helps AMRs and AGVs reliably detect their location in the warehouse by increasing the number of reference points, minimizing downtime associated with “lost robots" and aiding navigation.
- Rugged and reliable sensors reduce failures in the warehouse and downtime associated costs.
Tested for 30,000 hours of continuous use.
With an average product life span of over 100,000 hours, Ouster sensors are durable and reliable enough for real world deployments in climates between -40° to +65° C.
Port logistics, shipping, and yard automation.
We're increasing the safety and efficiency of the world's logistics hubs.
- With 90° and 180° FoV options, blind spots around port, yard, and shipping equipment can be completely eliminated meaning that automated equipment can work safely in conjunction with other workers and manual equipment.
- Complete 360° vision also means that manual operators have a level of safety previously unavailable, reducing the risk for dangerous and costly human-caused accidents.
Avikus and Ouster
See how Avikus is using Ouster to increase the safety and sustainability of their commercial shipping and leisure boat operations.
Avikus
Safety and sustainability.
We have demonstrated that on transoceanic voyages we can reduce fuel consumption of commercial shipping vessels by 7% and carbon emissions by 4%. With over 100,000 ships in operation every year, this has the potential to make a huge impact.
Build the vehicles that do more on their own.
Specialty Vehicles.
Reliability and high resolution can unlock a whole new suite of capabilities in automation for a diversity of purpose built specialty vehicles made for operation in all environments. Snow groomers, boats, and lawnmowers are all vehicles on which Ouster sensors have already been successfully integrated to bring autonomy to all industries.
Reliability.
Rugged and reliable sensors reduce failures in the field and downtime associated costs.
Integrations.
High resolution lidar data provides a complete picture of the environment, without the need for complex processing calibration of camera-only systems.
Labor Demands.
Autonomy features built with 3D lidar help inexperienced workers carry out tasks more efficiently and fills gaps in the workforce.

Outrider
Outrider’s autonomous yard trucks are designed to address a lack of efficiency, safety, and sustainability in distribution yards. With perception powered by Ouster’s digital lidar, Outrider recently released its next-generation autonomy kit for yard operations. In addition to Ouster, the system leverages NVIDIA DRIVE’s compute architecture for system processing.
Third Wave
Dedicated to the principle of creating a real world impact through collaborative autonomy, Third Wave Automation has set out to “multiply human potential” with their hybrid autonomous vehicles and intelligent fleet management systems that continue to improve over their lifetimes.
