Hesai announced on 3 October 2025 that its cumulative LiDAR production within calendar 2025 had exceeded one million units, with automated production lines capable of manufacturing a sensor every 20 seconds. The company cited two million units of planned annual manufacturing capacity and 1.2–1.5 million units of projected full-year deliveries. The million-unit figure was year-to-date production, not the count of robot-specific units shipped or full-year deliveries.
Hesai's output spans automotive driver-assistance systems, robotaxis and broader robotics hardware, with automated lines, in-house component engineering and manufacturing execution software supporting traceability. The company stated that its JT compact LiDAR family had surpassed 100,000 cumulative deliveries within five months of launch and separately reported more than 1.37 million total historical LiDAR deliveries by the second quarter of 2025. These figures refer to different windows and populations and should not be summed.
Hesai’s manufacturing execution system records production data and supports traceability and quality checks as sensors pass through the automated lines. Its in-house component engineering and scaled assembly support customers across automotive driver assistance, autonomous vehicles and robotics. The planned two-million-unit capacity and full-year delivery forecast describe different measures from the million sensors already produced during 2025.
