Triple Echoes For More Under-the-Cover Stories

The PLI01 is capable of capturing and processing up to 720,000 points per second (triple echoes). This high point rate allows the system to penetrate vegetation and reveal more details hidden beneath, providing comprehensive data for better analysis and decision-making.

High-quality Point Clouds

With integrated GNSS and a high-precision IMU, the PLI01 generates point clouds with centimeter-level accuracy. This precision is crucial for tasks such as precise measurement in surveying and mapping, obtaining detail-rich spatial digital representations in urban planning, and reducing risks by identifying unstable terrain or vegetation encroachment.

Efficient Operation

The PLI01 LiDAR Scanner can measure distances up to 450 meters (80% reflectivity) and cover an area spanning 2 square kilometers (494.2 acres) in a single flight. This extensive coverage ensures that large areas can be surveyed quickly and efficiently, saving time and resources.
