ELKHORN, Neb.—Prime Secured (Prime) is proud to announce its newest vendor partner: Quanergy Systems, Inc. Based in Sunnyvale, California, Quanergy is a leader in providing OPA-based solid state LiDAR sensors and smart 3D solutions for security, automotive and IoT.

LiDAR stands for Light Detection and Ranging. Utilizing low-power, eye-safe lasers, Quanergy’s time-of-flight sensing technology measures the time it takes for a laser to complete a round trip between a sensor and a target. The resulting aggregate data are then used to generate a 3D point cloud image, providing both spatial location and depth information to identify, classify and track moving objects.

Prime’s Eastern Region Vice President, Nate Green, explains that given the advanced nature of Quanergy’s technology, clients can now see traffic patterns, customer experience paths and how many people occupy a building in real time. Green adds that LiDAR sensors can identify the difference between a person and an object in motion, reducing false alarms at night and providing end-users with significant cost savings.

“Our partnership with Quanergy will provide Prime’s customers with relevant data on their facilities and clientele behavior,” said Green. “This includes, but is not limited to, queue wait times, occupancy levels, identifying areas of high traffic and operational safety, allowing Prime to be not only a security partner, but a trusted business partner.”

“We are excited to bring our LiDAR based IoT solution to Prime’s customers,” said Gerald Becker, Quanergy’s VP of Market Development & Alliances. “LiDAR is extremely accurate, reliable, and versatile, offering many advantages for retail applications as well as security. For example, businesses can use sensor data to visualize customers’ shopping journey in real time, monitor the flow of goods throughout the store, optimize store layouts, increase building security, and more—all with the power of LiDAR.”
