Solution

LiDAR application solution for smart logistics and last-mile delivery

Provide short-to-medium-range distance input for logistics and delivery robots to support aisle sensing, approach decisions, slowdown, and stopping.

Scenario

Application scenario

Smart logistics spans indoor aisles and outdoor last-mile routes. Targets, weather, lighting, speed, and installation space differ, so products and control limits must be selected and validated by task.

Engineering problem

Warehouse racks and pallets differ from outdoor pedestrians and vehicles.
Rain, fog, sunlight, and road reflections need separate outdoor validation.
Docking range, obstacle detection, and navigation serve different functions.

Why LiDAR

LiDAR provides direct distance for approach, slowdown, and stop decisions; path planning and scene understanding remain robot-system functions.

Workflow

Split the route into aisle travel, loading approach, and outdoor delivery tasks.
Select products by maximum distance, targets, environment, and mounting space.
Integrate distance and status into task-level controller rules.
Accept the system on real routes and worst expected conditions.

Technology comparison and selection

Dimension	Condition	LiDAR	Alternative	Alternative performance	Conclusion
Short-to-medium-range approach and obstacle distance	Routes include multiple distance zones and indoor/outdoor environments.	Provides direct distance for approach, slowdown, and stop rules by task.	Camera or ultrasonic	Cameras add semantics; ultrasonic can support selected near-field presence tasks.	Combine sensors by task. Use LiDAR for distance input, not as a replacement for navigation and recognition.

Selection

Product selection guide

Current material supports 2 candidates. Review product facts, rationale and boundaries together.

Model	Key product facts	Best fit and rationale	Operating boundary	Product details
TF-Luna	Output data Single-point Distance Value Measuring range 0.2 ~ 8 m Interface UART, I/O, I²C Protection Without enclosure	Fits space-constrained short-range approach, trigger, and robot sensing tasks.	Validate usable range on real targets, lighting, and routes; it does not provide full navigation.	View product
TF02-Pro	Output data Single-point Distance Value Measuring range 0.1 ~ 40 m Interface UART, I/O, I²C Protection IP65	Fits delivery and logistics tasks that need longer forward distance input.	Outdoor conditions, mounting blind zones, and stopping margin still need project validation.	View product

Installation and integration

Choose forward or lateral mounting from the route and chassis, verify enclosure, payload, and steering do not occlude the beam, and integrate status with distance.

Operating limits

Rain, fog, direct light, dark targets, and road reflections change usable range; do not use one lab range as the control limit for the whole route.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Should a smart-logistics system start with short-range or medium-range LiDAR?

Start from the task. Docking, triggers, and tight mounting often favor short range; outdoor delivery or earlier slowdown may need longer range. Validate targets, weather, light, speed, and space.
