SICK Integrates Aeva’s High-Precision Technology into Industrial Sensing Product Line

Collaboration Combines Aeva’s FMCW Technology with SICK’s Industrial Automation Expertise to Enable New High-Precision Distance Sensing Products

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aeva® (Nasdaq: AEVA), a leader in next-generation sensing and perception systems, today announced that SICK, a leading provider of sensor-based automation solutions, is expanding its industrial sensing product portfolio with new Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW)-based technology powered by Aeva. As part of the collaboration, SICK has introduced the first sensor in its portfolio powered by Aeva's FMCW technology, enabling a new level of performance for demanding industrial measurement applications.

As manufacturing processes become increasingly complex, FMCW sensing is enabling new levels of precision, reliability, and performance. Aeva's FMCW architecture combines silicon-integrated photonics and advanced signal processing to deliver highly accurate distance and velocity measurements at long ranges, including on shiny or metallic surfaces that have traditionally challenged conventional optical sensing technologies.

Unlike conventional time-of-flight and triangulation approaches, FMCW sensing is immune to ambient light, eliminates sensor-to-sensor interference, performs reliably on hot surfaces, and directly measures velocity in addition to distance. These capabilities enable manufacturers to achieve more precise and reliable measurements in challenging industrial environments. By leveraging Aeva's technology, SICK is bringing these differentiated capabilities to industrial automation at scale.

“Our technology partnership with Aeva is a key step toward advancing FMCW-based distance measurement for industrial applications,” said Dr. Florian Schneider, Senior Vice President of R&D Industrial Sensing at SICK. “By uniting Aeva’s leadership in FMCW technology with our extensive expertise in high-performance automation, we are pushing the boundaries of what is technically possible. Together with our customers, we are translating this innovation into robust, real-world solutions and unlocking its full potential.”

“FMCW sensing opens up new possibilities for industrial automation by enabling highly accurate measurements in conditions where conventional optical sensing technologies often struggle,” said Mina Rezk, Co-founder and CTO at Aeva. “Our collaboration with SICK demonstrates how Aeva's technology can solve real-world manufacturing challenges with greater precision, reliability, and scalability.”
