The next level in

red sensors:
Precision lidar scanner design and supply

Red Sensors is an award-winning innovative technology company that develops laser scanning, Precision Laser and custom 3D lidar sensor & vision systems, for use in markets including Surveying, Mapping, Industrial, Robot and Automotive.

Our History

Red Sensors was founded in 2016 by the team behind Guidance Navigation bringing over 25 years of experience in high-precision sensing and LiDAR systems.
That journey began in the early 1990s with Guidance Control Systems, which
evolved into three specialist businesses: Guidance Navigation, Guidance Monitoring,
and Guidance Automation. These companies delivered advanced laser, navigation, location,
and automation technologies across marine, industrial, security, and infrastructure
markets, and were later acquired by G4S, Matthews International, and Wärtsilä.
Red Sensors continues this legacy, designing and manufacturing all products in the
UK.

Bespoke Design

INNOVATING FOR THE FUTURE

RedSensors is an award winning innovative technology company developing standard, Precision Lidar Scanners and custom sensor systems, for use in Surveying, Mapping, Road Profiling, Industrial, Robot and Automotive markets.

Our Lidar use fibre lasers to provide a well collimated circular beam which enables our scanners to provide precise measurements that pick out fine details in the view

Red Sensors 2D and 3D Lidar Precision Laser Scanning Systems

Our LiDAR systems deliver high-precision range measurements of up to 3 mm(RMS) and interface with host computers via Ethernet connection.
Designed and manufactured in the UK, our sensors support a wide range of applications including surveying, mapping, robotics, automation, and security. The Coral LiDAR is configurable to many customer requirements  — allowing parameters such 
as range, rotational speed, and scan settings to be adjusted.

Know more about Lidar

Lidar is a sensor that measures the distance to a surface by illuminating with laser light and measuring reflected pulses with appropriate data acquisition electronics. To form an image, multiple beams of light can be rotated with the corresponding receiver and data acquisition circuitry, so generating the point cloud data.  Alternatively single beam can be swept across the scene at very high speed.

CORAL Lidar

A Highly accurate 2D Lidar for surveying and mapping

Using a fibre laser with 3.6mm dia beam with 0.77mrad divergence to achieve range resolution of <3mm(rms).  With rotation speed of up to 100rev/sec and 800k samples per sec.

The fibre laser provides a very high definition image where other Lidar on the market blur small features

Ian co-founder of this Organization with the aim of bringing novel 3D electro-optical sensing solutions to a wide range of industries. Ian originally carried out his Ph.D. research in the early days of wind turbines for power generation which nowadays are making a significant contribution to our electricity needs.

For much of his career, he has worked in the field of optical and laser measurement sensors for a variety of different applications. These include ultra-high precision optical metrology for the automotive industry and semi-conductor industries, laser navigation sensors for AGVs and vessel position sensing in the marine sector.

Ian is a multi-disciplinary engineer and is the primary inventor on several patents in the field of electro-optics and laser metrology.

He has worked at a technical and director level in the Guidance group of companies, two of which have been successfully sold to larger groups. An exit after the most recent sale led to the opportunity to set up Red Sensors.

JOHN POTTER

John has a track record of successfully developing a series of technology companies over 25 years.

He started the Guidance group, initially working in the robot vehicle market. John then identified a potential opportunity to supply laser position reference sensors into the marine market.  This opportunity led to the development of Guidance Marine, which grew to a company with over 100 employees, and offices in the UK, USA, and Singapore.

Once the marine business was established, John moved to a new group company Guidance Monitoring, working in the Offender Monitoring market. Guidance Monitoring’s product was bespoke body-worn tracking devices used to report an offender’s compliance to court-imposed restrictions.  Applications included the safeguard of survivors of domestic abuse through home detention and tracking.

Having sold Guidance Monitoring to G4S, John then worked as Chief Technology Officer in G4S from 2012 to 2017. This role included the commercial and technical directorship of the national French Offender Monitoring contract which was successfully renewed before he left in 2017 after co-founding Red Sensors.
