Quanergy's M-Series LiDAR Sensors Help Busy Chinese Ports Reduce Incident and False Alarm Rates

Quanergy Systems, Inc. (NYSE: QNGY), a leading provider of lidar sensors and intelligent 3D solutions, announced that Nanjing Port (Group) Co., Ltd. has successfully deployed Quanergy's M-series lidar sensors. Quanergy's partner, Nanjing Jiuao Technology Co., Ltd., developed the solution and was responsible for installation and integration.

The Port of Nanjing needed an effective detection and alarm system to help prevent warehouse damage and other potential accidents during heavy equipment operations. This use case also requires a system capable of triggering video surveillance cameras and recording events.

Before choosing Quanergy, the port had been using a passive infrared (PIR) sensor system, which had an excessively high rate of false alarms, up to 90 percent in some cases. Nanjing Jiuao selected Quanergy's lidar systems to address these customer challenges, leveraging some of the key advantages of Quanergy's sensor solutions, including:

· Accurate and reliable detection even in harsh warehouse environments;

3D object recognition, which can significantly reduce false positives caused by small animals such as birds; and

· Covers a larger area than other traditional sensors and requires fewer devices.

With the above functions, Quanergy's lidar system can reduce the false alarm rate to about 2%, which fully meets the requirements of Nanjing Port for timely detection and alarm capabilities.

Teng Sheng, General Manager of Nanjing Jiuao, said: "With the data provided by Quanergy's lidar system, our customer's warehouse team is able to visualize the work area more accurately. These additions provide a safer environment and save money The expensive maintenance costs faced by the Nanjing Port Group.”

Tony Rigoni, Director of Industrial Marketing, Quanergy Systems, Inc. said: "As lidar technology matures, more use cases are emerging in many industries. For ports, this deployment demonstration with our partner Nanjing Jiuao This represents one of the many uses for lidar in this environment. This deployment further expands Quanergy’s presence in the port automation market, one of the first industrial sectors to adopt 3D lidar.”
