Case Study: Liebherr improves machine safety and 360° visualization with Qt Group

Liebherr - Customer Case Study

Liebherr-Electronik GmbH, a manufacturer of high-quality electronic components for construction machinery and aerospace, faced the challenge of developing safety-focused visualization applications for its customers. They needed to create a scalable and easy-to-use user interface for operators to view their machine's surroundings, requiring a robust framework for development. They chose the Qt framework to build these applications.

Using Qt, the vendor implemented a Bird's Eye View and a camera-monitor system application with a QML-based UI. The solution provided better visualization of potential obstacles, leading to improved operator safety. Qt enabled a scalable approach for different screen sizes and allowed for the performance optimization needed for the embedded system. The vendor, Qt, provided great support throughout the process, and Liebherr notes the flexibility to quickly map future customer requirements.
