New Leica Aibot SX facilitates more accurate, safer aerial surveys

Heerbrugg, Switzerland, 13 June 2018 - Leica Geosystems, is apart of Hexagon, industry leader in measurement technology, announced the new Leica Aibot XS, the latest uav system based on DJI’s aerial platform, the Matrice 600 Pro, to rapidly and autonomously enable acquire mobile 3D mapping data.

Advanced precision workflow

The new copter technologies, developed in partnership with DJI, the world's leading manufacturer of UAVs allows users to process and analyse millions of data points gathered from above and visualise the data to provide actionable information. UAV data can be combined with existing survey technologies TPS, GPS and laser scanning, providing a more complete set of information. In addition, the new UAV is fully integrated with Leica Geosystems software solutions, completing jobs more accurate and efficient. The skyCAPP features more user-friendly and innovative interface via managing mission and automatically capturing data according to pre-set flight plans. The Infinity workflow has a good knowledge at project mission, features digital surface model and orthophoto generation enables users to easily process and visualise aerial data to maximise productivity and speed-up data delivery.

Understand the highest demand in survey application, Aibot XS collects all complete set of data results in higher project efficiency, that leads the new business opportunities less time, finance and human resource than with traditional methods.

Automating operations

Throughout a project lifecycle of planning, designing and construction, the Aibot provides easier access to critical information to perform volume calculations and monitor site progress. From creating digital terrain models to stripping and bulk earthworks and trenching to finally fine grading, paving and compaction, the solution supports easier actuals comparisons. This provides a more transparent view of site progression monitoring and volume calculations with safer operations to keep projects on schedule.

The Leica UAV can identify gaps early with a level of accuracy previously unknown for the construction industry. High definition imagery and 3D mapping allow for the viewing of site mapping or progress documentation, meaning users save time and money at all stages of the project.


“We are very excited to offer our robust and reliable DJI Matrice 600 Pro along with our developer tools to Leica Geosystems to empower survey professionals to get a truly efficient solution workflow with the best results and accuracy.” Said Jan Gasparic, Head of DJI Enterprise Partnerships.

"The Leica Aibot opens tremendous amounts of opportunity and helps the customers to speed up digitisation of processes and to automate existing workflows," says Valentin Fuchs, Leica Geosystems UAV product manager. "It enables customers to run businesses that are more efficient than their predecessors and be more profitable."
