Leica Geosystems’s Spatial Solutions Division has developed a long range laser scanner as well as associated mine scanning software that will be distributed through Maptek.
Leica Geosystems entered into the global OEM Supply Agreement with Maptek in a bid to facilitate the supply of Maptek’s I-Site products to Leica Geosystems.
The partnership follows many months of competitive evaluation and negotiation. Technical demonstrations by Maptek in Leica Geosystems’ Heerbrugg, Switzerland headquarters were followed by a comprehensive qualification of Maptek’s manufacturing facility in Adelaide, South Australia.
Juergen Dold, President of Leica Geosystems Geospatial Solutions Division said “Our industry-leading HDS laser scanners and software already effectively address short- and mid-range, high-accuracy as-built and topographic survey applications. This agreement with Maptek adds complementary, long-range scanning hardware and mining-specific software solutions for easier, faster and more accurate mine quantity surveys and mine mapping.”
