Blickfeld begins partnership with Senstar

Munich-based LiDAR specialist Blickfeld is collaborating with Canadian company Senstar, a global technology leader in advanced sensing and information management, including perimeter and outdoor security. The European market is the primary focus of the collaboration.

Blickfeld is known for its LiDAR sensors and perception software. These generate precise three-dimensional information about the shape and surface properties of surrounding objects, enabling a wide range of applications. The technology is already being used in the privacy-compliant detection of vehicle and pedestrian flows in retail spaces and public spaces. It also supports traffic flow optimization, urban planning, and the reduction of false alarms in building and security systems.

As Blickfeld and Senstar have now announced, they have been working together since the beginning of the year. The focus is on several projects to secure critical infrastructure, including airport security. To this end, they are strengthening the Munich The Senstar portfolio includes the 3D LiDAR "Blickfeld QbProtect." The sensor uses laser and semiconductor technology to detect security zones, such as those used to secure fences and perimeters. It generates precise 3D data, analyzes it directly on the device, and transmits the results to the security system without delay via standard interfaces.

Perimeter security thanks to Blickfeld technology

Andreas Bollu, Head of Security Solutions at Blickfeld, says:

"We're already seeing in ongoing projects that the Blickfeld QbProtect offers significant added value in protecting fences and open spaces. I'm particularly pleased that our Blickfeld QbProtect 3D LiDAR solution, tailored to perimeter security, will be used as a standard component by Senstar customers in the future."

Michael Rumpf, VP Sales EMEA and Managing Director of Senstar GmbH, emphasizes:

"A key foundation for the highly reliable perimeter protection we offer our customers is the intelligently coordinated use of various sensor types with complementary individual strengths. We are delighted to now add an outstanding innovation to our portfolio with the Blickfeld QbProtect: Its 3D LiDAR technology enables unprecedented accuracy and reliability in the detection of intruders. We are convinced that this creates significant added value in the protection of objects with the highest security requirements and look forward to many exciting joint projects with Blickfeld."

At the end of last year, Blickfeld secured €7.5 million in growth financing. The round was led by private equity firm New Future Capital (NFC) and UVC Partners. All existing investors, including Bayern Kapital, Continental, Fluxunit – ams Osram Ventures, High-Tech Gründerfonds, and Tengelmann Ventures, also participated. According to Munich Startup Insights The Munich-based LiDAR company has secured over 46 million euros in funding since its founding.
