Gemba Walks are often done in a layered manner. At the lowest layer, the Department Manager does a daily walk, and an hourly associate presents the data. At these daily walks, it is common for the local maintenance mechanics, engineers, and QC technicians to participate.
LIDAR is similar to the radar commonly used to track everything from airplanes in flight to thunderstorms. But instead of bouncing radio waves off its target, LIDAR uses short pulses of laser light. Some of that light reflects off of tiny particles in the atmosphere and back to a telescope aligned with the laser.
How does a light detection and ranging system work? There are 4 parts of an airborne LiDAR. These 4 parts of a LiDAR system work together to produce highly accurate, usable results: 1  LiDAR sensors scan the ground from side to side as the plane flies. 2  GPS receivers track the altitude and location of the airplane. 3  Inertial measurement units (IMU) tracks the tilt of the airplane as it flies.
