Case Study: Ouster achieves scalable lidar production with Benchmark Electronics

Ouster scales lidar production to thousands of units per month with Benchmark Electronics

Ouster, a provider of high-resolution lidar sensors for autonomous vehicles, faced the challenge of scaling production of its complex design. The product required a unique combination of precision microelectronics assembly, optics, and automated testing capabilities that not every manufacturer could provide. They partnered with Benchmark Electronics to develop a reliable and scalable manufacturing process.

Benchmark Electronics implemented a solution leveraging its expertise in microelectronics and precision assembly, customizing cleanroom facilities at its Thailand plant. This enabled the high-volume production of Ouster's lidar sensors, including the critical electromechanical turntable assembly. As a result, Benchmark Electronics was able to produce thousands of units monthly, helping Ouster meet customer demand and achieve its project milestones while staying on budget.
