Lumotive has formed a strategic partnership with E-Photonics in a move to spearhead advanced manufacturing of LiDAR and 3D sensing technologies in Saudi Arabia. The partnership was announced at LEAP 2025 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, an event that brings together innovators, industry leaders and investors.
E-Photonics will utilise Lumotive’s Light Control Metasurface (LCM) technology to develop and manufacturing 3D sensing solutions for robotics, drones, and smart infrastructure applications. This collaboration aligns with Saudi Vision 2030’s goals for technological advancement and industrial development.
E-Photonics will also introduce two LiDAR products that utilise Lumotive’s solid-state beam steering technology. The L30 boasts a 25m range and a frame rate of 10Hz, making it suited for applications such as pick and place robotics and automated guided vehicles (AGVs).
In contrast, the L42 expands its reach to 80m with a 20Hz frame rate, aiming at outdoor use cases, including security systems and smart transportation initiatives. Both products incorporate Lumotive’s software-defined scanning technology, which allows for dynamic performance enhancement, real-time adjustments of parameters, and improved functionality in demanding environments.
“This partnership represents a transformative step in bringing cutting-edge 3D sensing technology manufacturing to Saudi Arabia,” said Mohammad Alghaith, CEO of E-Photonics. “Our collaboration with Lumotive perfectly exemplifies our commitment to Saudi Vision 2030, bringing advanced technology capabilities that will create significant value and advance our region’s technological infrastructure.”
“Our partnership with E-Photonics marks an exciting expansion of Lumotive’s technology into new markets,” stated Dr. Sam Heidari, CEO of Lumotive. “This collaboration will accelerate the adoption of our LCM technology while supporting Saudi Arabia’s vision for technological advancement. We’re proud to contribute to the Kingdom’s growing technology ecosystem through local manufacturing and innovation.”
