RIEGL announced winning the Wichmann INTERGEO Innovations Award in the Hardware category with its turnkey system solution for UAV-based laser scanning, the Riegl miniVUX-3UAV with RiLOC-E.

RIEGL’s RiLOC-E was selected as a nominee by an independent jury of experts in the hardware category. The jury’s assessment accounted for 60% of the final score, but 40% was determined by public voting.

Many thanks to Wichmann for this award and the worldwide RIEGL community and their continued support of Ultimate LiDARᵀ solutions.

The RIEGL miniVUX-3UAV with RIEGL-subsystem RiLOC-E fully integrates a Micro-Electromechanical System (MEMS), Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), a GNSS unit, and RIEGL developed software that provides a simplified user-friendly workflow. Post-processing of both the trajectory and scan data is fully within RIEGL’s RiPROCESS, eliminating the need for any 3rd party software to obtain a precisely aligned and calibrated point cloud. Completely enclosed within the housing of the well-established miniVUX-series, RiLOC-E offers RIEGL‘s lightest weight UAV LiDAR system to date at only 1.75 kg (3.86Ibs), providing an entry-level and cost-effective solution for your surveying and mapping needs.
