“The LiDAR solution replaced a camera-based system that did not provide the accuracy and granularity made possible with LiDAR-based people counting,” said Gil-Soo Seo, Tourism Division Manager at Wando City. “This new installation helped us eliminate the previous camera-based data collection errors and gather real-time data and new insights systematically to optimize beach operations and keep our tourists safe. We are eager to expand this IoT LiDAR solution to optimize other tourist attractions in Korea.”
LiDAR enables additional capabilities that the previous camera-based solution could not. It protects individual privacy by providing complete anonymous people tracking as it does not capture or store any personally identifiable information (PII). Furthermore, the solution provides more reliable accident prevention for the beach with 24/7 monitoring in any lighting or weather condition. The LiDAR sensors track and monitor people entering the area after normal operating hours when no lifeguard is present and trigger the control center to intervene to prevent accidents.
“We’re excited to be part of the first installation of LiDAR technology in one of the most famous tourist destinations in South Korea,” said Enzo Signore, CMO at Quanergy. “This is just one example of the power and versatility of 3D LiDAR-leveraging real-time IoT data and advanced 3D insights to transform the operations of any industry while improving people’s experience and safety.”
In June, Quanergy entered into a definitive merger agreement with CITIC Capital Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: CCAC) (“CCAC”). Upon closing of the transaction, the combined company will be named Quanergy Systems, Inc. and is expected to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker symbol “QNGY.” The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2021, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
