Overview

• Aeva announced the Eve 1V on September 10 as a high-precision, non-contact motion sensor for factory environments.
• The FMCW-based unit measures lateral velocity, length, movement direction, and position with sub-millimeter-per-second accuracy, capturing range and velocity at the same time.
• Aeva markets the sensor for packaging, printing, construction materials, and extrusion lines, covering both continuous materials and discrete goods.
• Featuring a Class 1 eye-safe laser, Eve 1V is positioned to replace tactile measuring wheels and laser velocimeters and to reduce slippage errors common to wheel encoders.
• Cofounder and CTO Mina Rezk said the product is intended to help manufacturers measure faster and more accurately without maintenance downtime.
