Rapid, accurate and continuous data capture — powered by Emesent SLAM

As-builts give every stakeholder an accurate record of what was actually built, including changes that depart from the design, and they underpin future renovations, extensions and maintenance. But construction sites move fast, and keeping documentation complete and current is difficult. Poor construction data costs the industry trillions of dollars worldwide.

As-built data capture can be challenging

Manual measurement is slow, labor-intensive and prone to error, and it can’t capture the full spatial context of a site. Terrestrial Laser Scanners (TLS) improve on this, but they come with high equipment costs, specialist training and repeated, time-consuming setups, which makes regular scanning impractical. Hidden or hard-to-reach areas often need supplementary methods.

Mobile SLAM scanning removes those barriers, delivering detailed, highly accurate data without the setup time.

Rapid data capture

Up to 7x faster than traditional methods. Complete complex scans in hours instead of days, so you can scan regularly for progress monitoring and compare against the design.

Fits your existing workflow

Georeference in Emesent Aura with RTK/PPK, or select your own targets and check points. Send survey data directly from Aura Cloud to Trimble Connect or import into your preferred survey and BIM software.

Reliable, repeatable accuracy

Capture precise, highly accurate 3D spatial data complete with intricate structural detailing, every time.

Ease of use

Emesent scanners are simple to operate without the need for complicated setup or extensive training.

Versatile deployment

Whether used in handheld mode or deployed on backpack, vehicle, survey pole, or drone, there's an Emesent scanner for every use case.

Increased competitiveness

With fast data capture, unlimited on-premise processing and no per-scan charges, Emesent solutions allow you to scale your project load without scaling your software costs.

Testimonial

“As far as realizing a return on investment on a new instrument, the quickest way that we assess it is - does it allow us to perform more survey work with the same level of quality, or better quality in less time?

In that sense the laser scanning technology from Emesent does help us a lot with that.”

360° colorization

Give your point clouds additional context to uncover richer insights and aid stakeholder understanding

360° image capture

The same scan can be used to extract 360 images which can be viewed side by side with the point cloud to highlight areas of interest

Results you can trust

Best-in-class Emesent SLAM delivers highly accurate data with repeatable results

Merge multiple datasets

Capture scans at different times and in different areas and easily merge together

Software integration

Import into standard CAD packages including PointCab and Revit/AutoCAD, or transfer directly from Aura Cloud to Trimble Connect

Set and forget processing

With automated cleaning tools that include removing people and moving objects from your environment

All-in-one mobile scanning

Emesent GX1

Integrated SLAM, RTK, and 360° capture in a single device. Pick it up and start scanning — in GPS-denied environments or wide-open sites alike. Built-in RTK/PPK receiver, four 20MP cameras for 360° panoramas, and removable batteries mean no cable clutter in the field.
