SiLC Technologies Unveils First Public Demonstration of Revolutionary Class 1 Laser Line Scanner at Automate 2025
Eyeonic Trace Delivers Unrivaled Vision with Sub-Millimeter Depth Precision to Industrial Automation, Warehouse Operations, Robotics and Manufacturing DETROIT, May 12, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AUTOMATE SHOW BOOTH #9307 – SiLC Technologies, Inc. (SiLC) is at Automate 2025 this week to publicly debut its Eyeonic Trace™. A revolutionary Class 1 Laser Line Scanner, the new Eyeonic Trace is based on SiLC's chip-integrated coherent FMCW LiDAR technology, providing millimeter accurate dimensions on very low reflectivity objects at a blazing fast 1M points/sec from distances as far away as 10 meters. An all-in-one inspection and measurement tool, the Eyeonic Trace operates at 1550nm and performs reliably in any lighting condition. Its Class 1 eye-safe laser allows it to be used around factory workers without the need for restricted areas or special protective equipment. Measuring only 200 x 135 x 75 millimeters, the Eyeonic Trace easily mounts above a conveyor belt, assembly line, or on the side of a robotic arm. Because the Eyeonic Trace scanner has a long operating range, it can be placed at almost any height above a conveyor belt to accurately measure large boxes and small items just a few millimeters tall. The long working distance makes it possible for Eyeonic Trace to measure very large objects like cars or airplane panels or be used safely away from very hot objects. The scanner is engineered to deliver consistent performance across a wide range of industrial settings and applications, including: Accurate dimensioning of boxes moving at high speed on conveyer belts Volume measurement of loads on conveyor belts or in vehicles (truck/train cars) Measurement of large objects like pallets when used on the end of a robotic arm Scanning of road surface or rails for inspection Monitoring of conveyor belts used in mining where visibility is poor Accurately identify if an object has fallen off of a palette or vehicle presenting a safety hazard The global warehouse automation market is set to grow from $21 billion in 2023 to $91 billion by 2033, fueled by rising labor costs, faster fulfillment demands, and the push for efficiency. The Eyeonic Trace meets these needs with integrated velocity detection to scan items on conveyor belts moving up to 4 meters per second – more than twice as fast as current systems - boosting throughput and enhancing quality control. "Our Eyeonic Trace brings game changing levels of performance to industrial automation enabling our customers to accurately size packages for shipment, eliminate damaged goods, inspect for quality, and improve conveyor belt speeds for better efficiency," said Dr. Mehdi Asghari, CEO of SiLC Technologies. "And it does all of this in a completely eye-safe solution, whether it's day or night, indoors or in direct sunlight. We're looking forward to showcasing these capabilities live at Automate 2025, where attendees can experience firsthand how Eyeonic Trace is redefining performance in real-world automation scenarios." Key Features of the Eyeonic Trace Unparalleled Measurement Accuracy: Measures depth of objects with millimeter precision (1/32 inch) from 10 cm to 10 m distances. Exceptional Flexibility: Operates effectively across a wide dynamic range, accommodating objects with diverse reflective properties. Ambient Light Immunity: Functions reliably indoors (dim warehouses) or outdoors (bright sunlight); the scanner is unaffected by ambient light. Unrivaled Performance: Eyeonic Trace redefines the benchmark for performance with capabilities that far surpass any existing line scanner. Advanced Sensing Technology: Powered by SiLC's proprietary Eyeonic Vision Sensor with a 72° field of view and integrated silicon photonics for accurate measurement of large objects in industrial environments. Attendees of Automate 2025 - the largest robotics and automation event in the Americas - can experience the Eyeonic Trace firsthand at SiLC's booth #9307 on the show floor. Demonstrations will highlight the scanner's speed, precision, and adaptability in real-world automation scenarios.
