F eque tly Asked Questio s
Q: What ope ati g tempe atu e a ge should e gi ee s equi e fo a guided vehicle came a used outdoo s o i cold sto age?
A: Vadzo Imagi g ecomme ds looki g fo a qualified a ge of at least -30°C to 70°C fo a y guided vehicle came a expected to ope ate outside a climate-co t olled facility. That spa cove s ove ight f eeze wa ehouse co ditio s o the low e d a d di ect su exposu e i side a closed vehicle e closu e o the high e d.

Q: How does HDR imagi g help a AGV came a mai tai quality at low tempe atu es?
A: Cold sto age e vi o me ts combi e dim ambie t lighti g with eflective f ost o floo s, packagi g a d ack su faces, which c eates a wide co t ast a ge withi a si gle f ame. Ha dwa e HDR captu es both the b ight eflective highlights a d the da ke aisle shadow detail i the same exposu e, so avigatio softwa e eceives a co siste t image i stead of a f ame with clipped highlights o lost shadow detail.
