I am creating a quarterly inspection task for outdoor scanners. Besides cleaning the optical surface, what observations help identify a developing fault before detection performance is affected?

Ken | Controls Bench1 replies59 viewsA scanner occasionally loses useful returns after cold equipment enters a warm, humid area. The optical surface appears fogged. What should be inspected before changing detection thresholds?
Noah | Maintenance1 replies70 viewsA facility wants anonymous occupancy and flow counts without retaining identifiable imagery. What design choices should be documented when using LiDAR for this application?
Aisha | Solutions1 replies81 viewsWhen starting a release-note discussion, identify the exact product, software package, previous version, new version and source document. Quote only the relevant change and distinguish confirmed behavior from…

Ken | Controls Bench2 replies85 viewsWe need to associate each LiDAR profile with an encoder position as products move along a conveyor. Is it better to trigger acquisition or stream continuously and align…
Ken | Controls Bench2 replies74 viewsThese terms answer different questions. Range describes where measurements may be obtained, angular resolution describes directional sampling, accuracy describes closeness to a reference, and repeatability describes variation under…
Olivia | Technical Docs2 replies96 viewsSome targets in our warehouse are matte black while others have reflective labels. Product pages show different distance values under different conditions. How should these values be interpreted…
Noah | Maintenance2 replies52 viewsAfter installing the LiDAR inside its protective housing, a curved band of points appears near the sensor. It was not present during the open-air test. The front window…
Dan | System Integrator2 replies63 viewsSmall threshold changes are sometimes made directly on the production system and never documented. What change-control process is practical without making routine tuning unnecessarily slow?
Tom | Commissioning2 replies78 viewsA useful sample should include coordinate-frame definition, units, timestamp interpretation, invalid-value convention, sensor pose and a short description of the scene. Keep the clip short and include the…

Dan | System Integrator2 replies67 viewsFixed walls appear to move a few centimeters over several hours. Network timing is stable, so I suspect the mounting structure. How would you confirm whether vibration or…
Lucas | Survey Workflow2 replies56 viewsFor a mobile robot, I can reduce the amount of data by using a coarser angular step, but that may make thin objects harder to detect. How do…
Priya | Robotics2 replies45 viewsPacket captures may contain IP addresses, hostnames, credentials or application payloads. Prefer a short capture from an isolated reproduction setup, then review and redact it according to your…
