On March 20, 2026, the “2026 China Automation + Digitalization Industry Annual Conference (CAIMRS)” was held as scheduled in Nanjing, Jiangsu. At the conference, the awards honoring outstanding enterprises and product achievements in technological innovation and value creation in the automation and digitalization field for 2025 were unveiled.
Lanbao Sensing won the Industrial Intelligence “New Quality Award” for its multi‑industry innovative applications of the PDE‑CM series laser distance sensors, demonstrating its benchmark strength in new‑quality industrial productivity.
Industrial Intelligence "New Quality Award": Lanbao PDE-CM Series Laser Distance Sensor
The Shanghai Lanbao Sensing PDE-CM Series TOF laser distance sensor features a compact size, millimeter-level accuracy, a 5 m measuring range, support for RS-485 and analog output configuration, and immunity to color and material influences. It also integrates an OLED display and one‑button teach‑in functionality.

Lanbao Sensing Empowers Efficiency Upgrades Across Multiple Industries
The Lanbao Sensing PDE-CM Series products achieve precise distance measurement in high-end fields such as smart logistics, industrial automation, and new energy manufacturing, helping enterprises reduce costs, improve efficiency, and accelerate intelligent upgrades.
Forklift Safety Obstacle Avoidance and Rack Position Detection
The PDE-CM series can be installed at the front of the fork or on both sides of the forklift body to monitor the distance to obstacles ahead or to the side in real time. When an object is detected within the safe distance, the system automatically triggers deceleration or stop signals, effectively preventing collisions. At the same time, it can be used for rack position identification and localization, assisting the forklift in precise picking and placing—especially in high‑bay warehouses.
Conveyor Line Flow Control and Stack Height Detection
In the sorting and conveying process, the sensors can be used to monitor package flow, spacing, and stack height, enabling dynamic speed adjustment and early warning. Their large detection range allows a single device to cover a wider monitoring area, reducing the number of sensors required and lowering system integration costs.
Semiconductor Component Height Detection
During the PCB assembly process, component height directly affects soldering reliability, heat dissipation performance, and final assembly. The PDE-CM’s non-contact detection avoids physical damage to components. Even when dealing with reflective solder joints, black adhesives, or transparent encapsulation materials, it maintains stable output through optimized optical path design and algorithm compensation. Equipped with an OLED digital display and one-button teach-in function, it significantly shortens the production line commissioning cycle.
Wafer Presence Detection
The Lanbao PDE-CM’s small spot accurately identifies the edge or surface position of wafers, enabling stable detection even on transparent or reflective wafer materials, thereby improving wafer yield and operator efficiency.
Precise Positioning and Navigation for Shuttles and AGVs
In automated warehousing systems, shuttles need to achieve precise docking and goods retrieval while operating at high speeds. The PDE-CM series can be installed on the front, rear, left, and right sides of the vehicle to measure relative distances to racks, platforms, or other equipment in real time, enabling millimeter-level positioning calibration. This not only improves operational precision but also reduces the risk of cargo damage or system downtime caused by positioning errors.
The PDE-CM laser distance sensor winning the Industrial Intelligence "New Quality Award" is not only a recognition of Lanbao Sensing's technological strength but also a reflection of the wave of industrial intelligence. As technology continues to evolve, laser distance sensors will undoubtedly break through more application boundaries and deeply integrate with various industries, becoming a core engine driving the transformation of industrial intelligence.
