Skycatch brings its proprietary, advanced software and hardware for generating fast, reliable, survey-grade 3D data to this partnership. 

Fast, Safe, and Accurate. No Ground Control Points Needed. Fully offline.

Skycatch Edge1 technology is a GNSS receiver and an edge computer. It provides 5cm accuracy in x,y, and z without ground control points, reducing collection time by over 50% and nearly eliminating safety risks for survey crews. 

Skycatch Edge 1 also allows generating outputs (point clouds, orthomosaics, 3D mesh, and DSMs) in as little as 15-30 minutes, without the need for an internet connection.  

Analytics and Shareable Data for Enterprise Customers 

Additionally, Skycatch Data Hub allows end-users to view, analyze, and share data, as well as import LiDAR generated outputs, bringing strong value to projects’ stakeholders. 

Skycatch solutions are used in over 10,000 construction and mining sites in more than 25 countries.
