報導中提到，北醒CEO李遠在接受採訪時說：「在這樣一個特殊的時期，北醒研發這款適用於公共設施的大眾產品，是為了傳達這樣的信息：我們作為一家高科技企業，不僅僅著眼於高利潤回報的尖端科技產品，更要讓我們的技術為大眾服務，為防疫抗疫服務，為城市的清潔和綠色服務。」
北醒的雷射雷達產品已經在很多城市的垃圾桶上安裝應用，不僅可以做到無接觸投放垃圾，更可以在垃圾量達到80%以後與垃圾清運車實時傳送數據分配對接，使垃圾收集清運無縫對接。
國內疫情已去，國際疫情尚在，這個時期，社會需要無人化，也因此更期待非接觸式科技。
李遠認為，災後非接觸傳感器一定會有報復性增長，尤其是在機器人，智能城市，無人機，智能零售，甚至基礎建設上。北醒的傳感器，即為此而生。

高新技術企業助力城市垃圾分類

致力於雷射雷達測距傳感器研發與製造的北醒光子科技有限公司，通過這種高新技術手段助力推進中國垃圾分類進程。
該公司一直面向無人機、機器人和軌道交通等市場推出高端雷射雷達產品，如今開發出的新型消費級雷射雷達產品也可以安裝在垃圾桶上。
這種小型的雷射雷達在感知有人接近垃圾桶倒垃圾時，會觸發垃圾桶蓋子自動打開，從而有效避免居民與垃圾桶直接接觸，防止疾病的傳播。
通過使用配備這種雷射雷達的智能垃圾桶，可以很大程度上降低病原體的傳播。
「在這樣一個特殊的時期，北醒研發這款適用於公共設施的大眾產品，是為了傳達這樣的信息：我們作為一家高科技企業，不僅僅著眼於高利潤回報的尖端科技產品，更要讓我們的技術為大眾服務，為防疫抗疫服務，為城市的清潔和綠色服務。」北醒CEO李遠表示。
這種雷射雷達設備除了具有對人的檢測能力外，還可以在垃圾桶存儲量接近80%時，自動將數據傳輸到垃圾站的車輛上，對於智能垃圾管理的合理運輸工作將大有裨益。
李遠說，公司進一步優化了產品的性能以實現最優性價比，使其容易被大眾所接受。
據悉，現上海、武漢（湖北省）、蘇州（江蘇省）已經作為第一批城市應用該雷射雷達產品。在李克強總理5月份發表的政府工作年度報告中，中國將確保更有效地保護生態系統和環境。
「提高生態環境治理成效。突出依法、科學、精準治汙。深化重點地區大氣汙染治理攻堅。加強汙水、垃圾處置設施建設，推進生活垃圾分類。」他說。
繼上海去年開始強制生活垃圾分類之後，北京市垃圾分類規定也將於5月1日開始實施。

High-tech company helps treat waste
By Du Juan | chinadaily.com.cn | Updated: 2020-06-10 15:52
The fast growing high-tech company Benewake Co, which focuses on Lidar distance-measuring development and manufacturing, found a way to contribute to China's ongoing garbage sorting projects.
The company which used to make high-end lidar products for drones, robots and railway systems, has developed a product that can be installed on trash cans.
The device can detect people approaching and the trash can will automatically open its lid. In this way, residents can effectively avoid contact, which can spread disease.
The possibility of pathogen transmission can be reduced greatly with the trash cans.
"By developing this product at this special time, we want to express a message that as a high-tech company we are not exclusively focused on cutting-edge technologies that can bring profits. We also want to bring high-tech to people's daily lives and help governments manage cities better," said Li Yuan, Benewake's chief executive.
In addition to detecting people, the Lidar device can transmit the data to vehicles of garbage-collection stations automatically when the trash can is 80 percent full. This is helpful in the logistics of waste treatment.
Li said the company has optimized functions for the Lidar technology to achieve optimum cost performance, and it's available for public use.
According the company, Lidar has been applied in cities such as Shanghai; Wuhan, Hubei province; and Suzhou, Jiangsu province.
According to the annual government work report delivered by Premier Li Keqiang in May, China will take action to ensure more effective protection of the environment.
"Priority will be placed on curbing pollution in a law-based, scientific and targeted way. … We will step up the construction of sewage and garbage treatment facilities and move ahead with the sorting of household waste," he said.
Following the lead of Shanghai, which began its mandatory household waste sorting system last year, Beijing put rules into effect on May 1.
