A long tradition in manufacturing quality
With its history and roots going as far back as 1949, Liebherr has been a self-made pioneer and major player in the manufacturing of construction machinery ever since.
Today, Liebherr-Electronics and Drives GmbH, based in Lindau and Biberach, Germany, employs about a thousand dedicated people who develop and manufacture customer-specific electronic solutions. In Lindau, Liebherr develops and manufactures high-quality electronic components that are used throughout in the group's various companies, and in the industries of long-life electronics and aerospace. The electronic components hold significant importance in the variety of Liebherr products, hence, external customers from a variety of different fields also rely on Liebherr's durable solutions and their robust construction.
Safety and higher performance through 360-degree visualization
Liebherr-Electronics and Drives GmbH requested the development of two applications for visualizing streams from the connected digital cameras: a Bird's eye application, and a CMS (camera-monitor system) application. These applications provide operators of a mobile machine with detailed views of the working environment.
The Bird's Eye View application shows a 360-degree view of the connected cameras. The CMS application displays one or more streams from connected cameras. Both systems support the driver by displaying the surroundings in detail, thus increasing comfort and work safety.
How the project was completed with Qt:
- Creation of UI design and implementation of UI using Qt/QML
- Integration of 3rd party software into system and controlling of cameras
- Performance optimization for the embedded system
"The Qt software environment is designed in such a way that we can also quickly and flexibly map future customer requirements with appropriate features”, says Alexander Bertsch, Head of Product Line Sensors at Liebherr-Electronics and Drives GmbH.
