Lase Industrielle Lasertechnik

What Lase Industrielle Lasertechnik does

LASE Industrielle Lasertechnik GmbH is a privately-held German industrial sensor company founded in 1990 and headquartered in Wesel, Germany, that designs and manufactures laser-based measurement systems and the proprietary software that processes their output. Its product architecture is a platform-plus-modules model built around in-house 3D laser scanners (LASE 3000D series), 2D laser scanners (LASE 2000D and 2000T series), distance sensors (LASE 1000D-R and 1000T series up to 300 m range), and a patented multilayer sensor technology. These sensors feed a configurable suite of application modules — including LaseLCPS collision prevention, LaseTPS truck positioning, LaseUCD unremoved cone detection, LaseTVM truck volume measurement, LaseWVM wagon volume measurement, and the LaseMF multifunctional crane platform — that integrate via Ethernet-connected LASE Control Units into customer PLC, crane, and inventory systems. End markets are heavy-industry verticals: ports and container terminals, mining and bulk materials handling, steel mills, logistics and freight, and wood processing, with named customers including Port of Rotterdam, APM Terminals, DP World, Hutchison Ports, PSA, ThyssenKrupp, ArcelorMittal, Voestalpine, Vale, Tata, Tharisa, ABB, Siemens, Konecranes, Kalmar, Liebherr, and ZPMC. Revenue is generated through three streams: turnkey hardware system sales (sensors plus application modules, installation, and commissioning), recurring annual service contracts with four SLA tiers ranging from 8h/5d to 24h/7d coverage, and customized software development performed at the Bremen engineering subsidiary (LASE Systemtechnik GmbH, est. 2005). A security and people-counting vertical is operated through a separate wholly-owned subsidiary (LASE PeCo Systemtechnik GmbH, est. 2008), and a Shanghai sales subsidiary has covered Greater China since 2008. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales through the company website with a global network of roughly 30 regional distribution and contract partners across the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Australia. The company is ISO 9001:2015 and SCC** Version 2011 certified, holds German Patent No. 10 2012 020 953 covering a 3D laser scanning method for ISO container positioning, and is led by Managing Director Dipl.-Ing. Lars Ambrosy.

Product overview

LASE Industrielle Lasertechnik offers a comprehensive portfolio of laser-based measurement technology and industrial automation solutions. The offering consists of core sensor hardware (3D laser scanners, 2D laser scanners, distance sensors, multilayer sensors), integrated with specialized application software systems. The product architecture follows a platform-plus-modules model: LASE sensors serve as the foundational hardware layer, which are then configured with application-specific software modules for different use cases. Key product families include: LASE 3000D and 2000D series sensors for 3D volumetric and 2D contour measurement; LaseTVM systems (TVM-3D-S, TVM-3D-M, TVM-3D-LOG) for truck and wagon volume measurement in bulk materials and mining; LaseMF and LaseMF-STS modular multifunctional measurement platforms for port cranes with swappable modules (LCPS, GCP, TPS, TDS, UCD, SPC, ASTO, TMD, TLP, CPD, ESD, AYC, BCP-ML); LaseSPY, LaseCPT, LaseCPW, LaseCPY for steel industry positioning applications; and LaseAFM series for logistics freight measurement. The systems integrate with customer PLC, crane control systems, and inventory management systems via Ethernet-connected LASE Control Units (LCU). Applications span ports and container terminals, bulk materials and mining, steel and metal industry, logistics, and wood industry.
