Positioning and Measurement Solutions

From the beginnings of GPS with post-processed data to the current multi-constellation GNSS and real-time results via HxGN SmartNet correction service, Hexagon has always provided positioning and measurement solutions.

Continuous innovation, productivity and versatility of GNSS systems have increased exponentially. As an innovation leader in GNSS sensor fusion, Hexagon developed the original GNSS antenna with integrated Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) to deliver true tilt compensation for measurement and positioning. We created the world’s first GNSS sensor with integrated IMU and camera that enables visual measurements of points that can’t be reached with the pole tip.

Modern measurement equipment represents a significant investment. The lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) is of great importance when deciding to invest. Lowest purchase cost doesn’t always represent the best value for the user or the entire company. Hexagon provides a fit-for-purpose, high-value GNSS for everyone.

3D laser scanning technology replicates the physical world and turns it into a digital twin or a virtual environment. Hexagon has a broad range of 3D laser scanners: the Leica ScanStation P-Series for highest survey-grade accuracy and longest range, the Leica RTC360 for highest productivity and the Leica BLK360 for tight locations and interiors.

Hexagon's focus on autonomy also extends to laser scanning with the autonomous flying laser scanner, the Leica BLK2FLY, and the autonomous laser scanning module for robots, the BLK ARC.

A 3D laser scanning solution is available to fit the needs of any project, creating a digital twin of the physical world that can be kept up to date with real-time information from sensors and artificial intelligence.

Once a digital twin has been created with outstanding speed and the highest quality, the twin can be optimised with office software like Leica Cyclone, TruView and CloudWorx to visualise, extract, analyse, collaborate and share, enabling you to get the most out of high-value deliverables.

Hexagon’s mobile mapping solutions are positioned for applications that require long- and short-range mobile mapping, delivering the highest levels of detail in data collection for digital twin creation.

The solutions are designed for asset management and construction of road, rail and critical infrastructure, the oil, gas, electricity and mining industries, smart city and building modelling and simulation applications, as well as for environmental monitoring of coastal erosion and canals.

With several years of experience, Hexagon’s innovative mobile mapping technologies have converged into a unique product line covering multiple platforms for many application scenarios and use cases.  Leica Pegasus TRK Neo, the vehicle-based system, is complemented by the wearable Leica Pegasus:Backpack and the revolutionary hand-held Leica BLK2GO.
