At the same time, due to the precise and complicated structure, the mass production of Laser pointer radar is difficult to achieve. Domestic and foreign lidar companies rarely choose to build their own production lines and choose to contract with foundries. This has led to low yield and high cost of lidar mass production Situation.
In order to break this situation, Leishin chose to research and build its own automated production line. Choosing a self-built production line is a path that few people take because self-built production lines mean more costs.
However, Hu Xiaobo believes that the Laser pointer radar is a comprehensive product of hardware, software, and algorithms. There are many know-how involved in the production process. If it is simply delivered to the foundry, it will be difficult to cooperate with each other. The self-built factory has ensured the mass production yield rate to a great extent, while controlling the production cost, and solving the problems of high prices of lidar products.
The opening of the Rashen Jiashan factory will greatly supplement the current Rashen multi-line lidar production capacity and solve the problems of insufficient global multi-line lidar production capacity and high prices.
At present, Rashen is located in a 3,000-square-meter production plant in Shenzhen, with a TOF single-line lidar capacity of 700 units / day; a triangular-type lidar reaches 1,000 units / day. Products have been widely used in robot autonomous navigation, AGV anti-collision warning, unmanned driving, assisted driving, industrial automation, intelligent security, and mapping.
Thanks to efficient production capacity guarantees, the cost of triangulated lidars and TOF single-line and 16-line lidars has been reduced, so that customers can use lidars with the best price-performance ratio, greatly reducing procurement costs.
Compared with other lidar manufacturers, Radium Smart is behind the industry front. In addition to its advanced optical device research and development capabilities, it also has a strong nuclear “heart” chip development capability.
At present, Rashen is the only company in China that independently develops Laser pointer radar integrated circuit chips. Following the realization of the laser radar receiver chip at the end of 2017, this time the 518 laser god Jiashan factory opened. Hu Xiaobo also released the first domestic multi-line and solid-state lidar core chip.
