Aeva recently announced the first orders for its Aeva Eve 1 line of high-precision sensors for high-volume and inline industrial automation applications. The product line, starting with Eve 1D, targets the global laser displacement sensor market, driven by rising demand for automated manufacturing solutions.
The Aeva Eve 1 line includes sensors to leverage Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) laser technology, powered by Aeva’s CoreVision lidar-on-chip modules. Designed to meet the stringent reliability and durability standards of automotive applications, Eve 1’s CoreVision modules use the same silicon photonics technology paired with advanced software algorithms optimized for high-precision sensing.
Eve 1D sensors deliver consistent sub-micron precision across a wide range of standoff distances, from 100 millimeters to 20 meters, housed in a compact, all-in-one form factor that integrates both measurement and data processing. While providing reliable measurement speed and accuracy, the sensors also work across a broad set of materials and in all lighting conditions. These capabilities enable faster, highly-precise inspection, the ability to enhance throughput, improved quality control, and improving costs in automated manufacturing environments.
The first shipments of Eve 1 sensors to select customers have already started, with production expected to begin in 2025.
