Building on the previously announced collaboration, this
multi-year agreement integrates Aeva’s technology into Nikon’s
Industrial Metrology and automated inspection product suite for
deployment to customers across the automotive, aerospace and
renewable energy industries. Aeva’s start of production is targeted
in late 2024, with Nikon product availability expected in 2025.
“This core perception technology opens new opportunities for our
products thanks to Aeva's high accuracy and faster measurements,”
said Tadashi Nakayama, CEO at Nikon Metrology NV, General Manager
of Industrial Metrology Business Unit and Corporate Vice President
at Nikon. “We are pleased to move our collaboration with Aeva to
the production phase to deliver best-in-class products to our
customers in the automotive manufacturing, aerospace and energy
industries.”
Nikon’s technology powers high-precision, automated quality
control in high-volume manufacturing environments by enabling
non-contact measurements from long distances with unmatched speed
and precision. In the automotive industry, for example crucial
measurements taken during Body-in-White and Gap and Flush
inspections ensure the accuracy and quality of vehicle components
during production assembly.
“Today’s production win marks a significant milestone for Aeva
in the growing field of automated manufacturing and it validates
that Aeva’s unique FMCW technology goes well beyond automated
driving with a perception platform powering the next wave of
automation,” said Soroush Salehian, Co-Founder and CEO at Aeva. “We
are excited to advance to our first commercial deployment with
Nikon, a recognized leader in delivering high precision industrial
solutions of the highest quality, and look forward to leveraging
our perception platform to bring additional programs to
market.”
