End of life AVIA?

jeroenD

Hello,

We currently use the Livox Avia a lot in big and small projects within our company.

To guard or control a certain process, we often need a scanner with a equal FOV horizontally & vertically. Like the Mid70 and the Avia (~70°)

However, some news got to us telling the Livox Avia will not be produced anymore and that you should fallback to the Mid70 or use the new HAP.

This would be bad news, as the Mid70 is too slow and the HAP is more designed for other type of applications. The 25° vertical FOV is much to limited. We could of course mount 2 or 3 HAPs on top of eachother but it would be more costly and especially more complex setup.

So is it true that the Livox Avia is end of life? It’s a relatively new scanner. Could you share why? it seems like a very popular and successful product but we could be wrong off course.

Will there be some kind of HAP70+ in the future, which will use the HAP tech but rotate the lasers like the AVIA so you again get the circular FOV

Best regards

Hello,
We very much agree that the Avia is the best of the Livox product range.
The Avia is very popular. All through 2022, all new stocks of Avia in the DJI store sold out within 48 hours. Any reduction in sales would be due to stock shortages.
The Avia combination of long range and wide FOV makes is especially suited for a range of applications that are not possible with other Livox products or competing manufacturers.
So, I think any idea of Avia EOL is just a rumor.
Industry expectation is that product EOL should be announced with at least 12 months notice so that users can purchase spares and integrate an alternative.

Hello,

any news on this topic? The avia is still present on the site, but for a long time not orderable. It would be good to have any news on this item, so we know how to proceed in upcoming projects.

Thanks!
