Ouster offers a unified sensing and perception platform that combines high-performance digital lidar, cameras, AI compute, sensor fusion and perception software, and cutting-edge AI models. The company's digital lidar sensors are used across four target markets. In the Industrial market, customers use lidar sensors to increase safety and automate operations across the global supply chain, including material handling vehicles at ports and warehouses, off-highway vehicles in mines and on farms, and manufacturing equipment in factories. Smart infrastructure customers, in both public and private sectors, use lidar technology on roads and sidewalks in public spaces for safety and efficiency, and security companies use it to improve intrusion detection and tracking by augmenting existing closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems.
