The world’s first autonomous flying laser scanner has been named as a finalist at the onExpo-Con/Agg Next Level Awards
Leica Geosystems, a division of Hexagon, has announced that Leica Blk2Fly has been named as a finalist of the ConExpo-Con/Agg Next Level Awards Programme. The Next Level Awards celebrate exhibiting companies that are pushing the boundaries and developing next-level products, technologies and services designed to advance the construction industry.
“For the past several years, we have been on a mission to democratise reality capture with the BLK product series, including the Blk2Fly, the world’s first autonomous flying laser scanner,” president US/Canada at Hexagon’s Geosystems division Craig Martin says.
“Having the product shortlisted for the Next Level Awards is thrilling and yet wouldn’t be possible without the insight gained from working with construction leaders all over the world.”
Using a tablet, users can capture and scan features and dimensions of sites and structures that would otherwise be dangerous or inaccessible. Advanced obstacle avoidance and the ability to determine optimal scan routes make the Blk2Fly an effective aerial reality capture solution for civil engineering companies. The flying laser scanner documents heavy construction sites, buildings, rooftops, facades and other environments with improved accuracy and detail, enhanced safety and increased efficiency.
The winner will be chosen by exhibitors attending ConExpo-Con/Agg and announced at the show in March.
