Mobile Mapping Solutions
Mobile mapping equipment is designed to capture 3D data while in motion, eliminating the need for the static tripod setups used in traditional surveying. These systems integrate high-speed LiDAR, 360° cameras, and sophisticated positioning sensors to create "digital twins" of large-scale environments at roughly 10x the speed of stationary scanners.
Navvis VLX 3
- Industry-Leading Data Accuracy: While many SLAM (mobile) scanners struggle with precision, the VLX 3 features dual 32-layer LiDAR sensors. This allows it to achieve a high degree of accuracy (often within 5–10mm in typical indoor environments), making it one of the few mobile scanners trusted for detailed Scan-to-BIM projects.
- Superior 360° Imagery: It is equipped with four 20MP cameras positioned to capture a complete, high-resolution panoramic view. This creates incredibly crisp, "Google Street View" style walkthroughs that are far superior to the grainy imagery found on handheld competitors.
- Hybrid Scanning (Static + Mobile): The VLX 3 can perform "stationary" captures in areas that require extra detail. By standing still for a few seconds, the system increases point density in that specific spot, mimicking a tripod scanner's results.
- Control Point Integration: It is designed to work seamlessly with physical survey control points. By "checking in" at known coordinates on the ground, the system automatically corrects for "SLAM drift," ensuring the final map is perfectly aligned with real-world surveying standards.
- Outdoor Capability: While many mobile mappers are indoor-only, the VLX 3 is highly capable in outdoor environments, making it ideal for capturing building facades, urban streetscapes, and construction sites.
Leica BLK2GO
- Extreme Portability & Design: It is the smallest and lightest professional SLAM scanner on the market. Weighing only 1.7 lbs (775 grams), it fits into a small case and can be carried all day without fatigue. Its sleek, "torch-like" design allows you to reach into tight spaces where larger equipment won't fit.
- GrandSLAM Technology: It combines high-speed dual-axis LiDAR with a multi-camera vision system and an IMU. This allows it to "see" where it is and track its path through complex spaces with minimal user input.
- 12-Megapixel Detail Camera: In addition to the three panoramic cameras used for navigation and colorization, it features a dedicated 12MP "detail" camera. While walking, you can pull a trigger to snap high-resolution photos of specific assets (like serial numbers or structural cracks) that are instantly georeferenced within the 3D map.
- High-Speed Workflow: You can map a standard 2,000 sq. ft. space in less than two minutes simply by walking through it. This makes it the fastest way to get a "rough-in" 3D layout for space planning or facility management.
- Wireless Operation: The device is completely cable-free and operates via a rechargeable battery. You control and monitor the scan in real-time through the BLK2GO Live app on an iPhone or iPad.
- Aesthetic Integration: Because it looks less like "heavy machinery" and more like a high-tech gadget, it is less intimidating to use in active retail environments, hospitals, or occupied offices.
