Revolutionizing the Industry with NavVis: A Leap into the Future of Real-Time Data Collection and Advanced MappingĀ 

Embracing Cutting-Edge TechnologyĀ 

In today's fast-paced AEC landscape, staying ahead of the curve requires constant innovation and the integration of cutting-edge tools. We are thrilled to announce the aquisition of the NavVis VLX3, a state-of-the-art mobile lidar unit. This added service marks a pivotal step forward as we provide advanced real-time data collection and mapping capabilities to our clients.

At the heart of this new service is lidar, a remote sensing technique that utilizes pulsed laser light to measure varying distances to the Earth's surface.

NavVis has taken this technology to the next level with their mobile unit, which combines portability with precision. It uses two multi-layer lidar sensors and four cameras to capture an immersive 360-degree panoramic view and high-resolution maps of the environment.

The mobile lidar unit uses SLAM (Simultaneous Location and Mapping) technology to provide detailed 3D maps of indoor and outdoor environments in real time. Able to map up to 4,500 sqm per dataset, this capability is a meaningful change for industries like ours that rely on accurate spatial data.

Enhancing Service Offerings

Integrating NavVis's mobile lidar unit into our service offerings enhances our capabilities in several key areas:

Real-Time Data Collection: Thanks to the SLAM technology, the mobile lidar unit allows us to collect data in real time, reducing the time required for data acquisition and processing. This means faster turnaround times for our clients and more efficient project workflows.

Advanced Mapping: The precision and detail provided by the mobile lidar unit enable us to create highly accurate maps and models. These maps are invaluable for planning and decision-making, providing a solid foundation for any project.

Versatility: The portable nature of the mobile lidar unit means we can deploy it in a variety of settings, from large construction sites to intricate indoor environments. This flexibility allows us to tailor our services to meet the specific needs of each client.

Looking Ahead

The aquisition of NavVis's mobile lidar unit is just the beginning. We are excited about the opportunities this technology presents and the positive impact it will have on our clients and the industry. As we move forward, we remain committed to pushing the boundaries of what is possible and setting new standards for excellence in our industry
