Quanergy Solutions has agreed to a partnership with Florida Drawbridges (FDI), an operator and maintainer of movable bridges across seven states in the US.

According to the company, this collaboration will see the integration of Quanergy’s cutting-edge 3D LiDAR technology into FDI’s bridge monitoring systems, aimed at enhancing safety, reducing accidents and streamlining operations.

To date, more than ten FDI-monitored bridges have already been equipped with Quanergy’s 3D LiDAR technology, with further installations planned in the near future.

Enhancing safety

The integration of Quanergy’s LiDAR sensors will provide real-time 3D monitoring of bridge environments, offering accurate object detection, improved situational awareness and reduced false alarms.

Public safety

“We chose Quanergy’s 3D LiDAR solution for the movable bridges that FDI manages because of its unmatched accuracy in detecting pedestrians, even in complex environments,” said Daniel Porter, President, FDI.

“The Q-Track LR sensors and QORTEX perception software provided flawless coverage, significantly reducing the risk of accidents.

“Quanergy’s ability to integrate with existing FDI solutions and minimize false alarms made it the ideal choice for this critical safety application.”

Adam Andres, Global VP of Sales Quanergy added: “We’re thrilled to partner with the FDI team on this critical initiative.

“This collaboration marks a significant advancement in enhancing public safety and operational efficiency on moveable bridges.

“We look forward to ongoing work with FDI’s exceptional team to deploy this cutting-edge technology at additional sites across the country.”
