LiDAR for AMR & AGV
Complex factory and warehouse floors mix racking, forklifts and people. ZVISION's LiDAR line covers the full range from cost-sensitive 2D-to-3D upgrades to wide-FOV sensors built for mainstream AMR platforms.
Which ZVISION LiDAR is best for mobile robots / AMR?
For mobile robots / AMR, ZVISION recommends the MRZ-16 and NZ1. MRZ-16: 360° 3D LiDAR for cost-sensitive robotics — 30 m, 360° × 40° (0–40°) FOV. NZ1: Ultra-wide-FOV LiDAR for mainstream robotics — 40 m, 240° × 80° FOV. 360° or wide-angle coverage: AMRs sharing floor space with forklifts need coverage on multiple sides, not just forward-facing.
Where LiDAR fits
- SLAM-based navigation through racking aisles and mixed-traffic floors
- Localization in structured warehouse environments
- Small-object obstacle detection in the direction of travel
- 2D-to-3D sensor upgrades without a chassis redesign
What to look for
360° or wide-angle coverage
AMRs sharing floor space with forklifts need coverage on multiple sides, not just forward-facing.
Drop-in upgrade path
Many AGV fleets are still running single-line 2D LiDAR — MRZ-16 matches common 2D mounting footprints while adding 16-channel 3D coverage.
Indoor/outdoor tolerance
Loading docks and yard transitions expose sensors to dust, spray and variable light.
In the field: Deployed on forklift robot fleets running SLAM navigation through complex warehouse racking, and on AGV chassis upgrading from 2D to 3D perception.
Frequently asked
Can I replace my existing 2D LiDAR without changing the chassis?
MRZ-16 is designed to mount in common 2D LiDAR footprints (360° coverage, compact 64×68.5×65 mm housing) while adding 16 channels of vertical 3D coverage.
What's the difference between MRZ-16 and NZ1 for AMR use?
MRZ-16 is a cost-optimized 360° mechanical-rotating sensor for indoor AGVs. NZ1 is a wider-range (40 m), ultra-wide-FOV (240°×80°) sensor built for AMRs that also need longer-range navigation.
