As a premier annual event for Hangzhou’s tech innovation ecosystem, the conference unveiled the much-anticipated “2026 Hangzhou Unicorn and Quasi-Unicorn Enterprise List.”

The Department of Economy and Information Technology of Zhejiang Province has officially announced the list of accredited provincial-level corporate research institutes. Leveraging its strong technological expertise, LuminWave has successfully earned the designation of “Zhejiang Provincial Enterprise Research Institute for Silicon Photonic Integrated Chip LiDAR.”

Hangzhou LuminWave Technology Co., Ltd. (LuminWave) announced that it has received an investment from the Shaanxi Photon Strong Chain Fund.

LuminWave has successfully obtained the UL 61010 International Safety Certification for its D-series ToF cameras, marking a significant milestone in the company’s commitment to world-class quality, safety, and reliability.

By automating de-palletizing, LuminWave helps manufacturers reduce costs, increase efficiency, and future-proof operations in an increasingly labor-constrained environment.

LuminWave, a pioneer in LiDAR and 3D sensing technologies, has successfully secured strategic investment from the Beijing E-Town Optoelectronic Integration Fund, marking the first close of its Series B1 financing round. This milestone solidifies LuminWave’s position as a rising star in the LiDAR and optoelectronic integration industries, injecting fresh momentum into the broader smart sensor ecosystem.

As intelligent manufacturing advances, the warehousing and logistics sectors are undergoing rapid transformation. Pallets play a crucial role in over 50% of logistics operations, including loading, storage, and transportation. However, traditional manual handling methods pose significant challenges—high labor costs, worker fatigue, and safety risks.

LuminWave’s high-precision filling-port position solution uses ToF camera with millimeter level positioning to achieve accurate docking between the material mouth and the tank mouth, reducing material waste and environmental pollution caused by inaccurate positioning, lowering the skill requirements for drivers, and improving the overall loading efficiency and turnover speed.

From July 8th to 10th, LuminWave brought a variety of products including 3D industrial cameras, HP series high-precision FMCW LiDAR, and F series 4D FMCW LiDAR to Vision China (Shanghai) 2024. We demonstrated on-site recognition of tire hubs, a typical black and highly reflective industrial part, and showed excellent results, attracting the attention and praise of many professionals.
