Quanergy Solutions inks seven-figure deal with Florida Drawbridges

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Quanergy Solutions, Inc., a provider of 3D LiDAR solutions, has solidified a strategic partnership with Florida Drawbridges, Inc. (FDI), operator and maintainer of movable bridges across seven states, with a seven-figure contract.

Quanergy said this collaboration marks a significant milestone in the integration of its 3D LiDAR technology into FDI's bridge monitoring systems, which is aimed at enhancing safety, reducing accidents, and streamlining operations. To date, more than 10 FDI-monitored bridges have already been equipped with Quanergy’s 3D LiDAR technology, with further installations planned in the near future.

The integration of Quanergy's LiDAR sensors will provide real-time 3D monitoring of bridge environments, offering several safety benefits: Accurate object detection, improved situational awareness, and reduced false alarms.

This collaboration is meant to underscore both companies' dedication to public safety. By leveraging Quanergy's LiDAR technology, FDI aims to enhance its bridge operation protocols, thereby reducing the risk of accidents and fatalities.

“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. 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," said Daniel Porter, president, FDI Inc.

Adam Andres, global VP of sales for Quanergy, added, "We’re thrilled to partner with the Florida Drawbridges Inc. 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."
