Under the hood of the industries’ new drone surveying workflow

Say goodbye to Ground Control Points (GCPs)

Maximize safety and efficiency with Smart Construction Edge! When flying PPK, simply set up Edge as a PPK base station to track and integrate correction data into your dataset — keeping your team safely out of active sites. No more worries about operators driving over ground control points.

Connecting the Edge to the Smart Construction ecosystem

With Edge, you can effortlessly send your processed point cloud directly to Smart Construction Dashboard via the cloud, eliminating the need for wires or external memory. This creates a unified and efficient workflow. Dashboard serves as a data sandbox, ready to collect soil movement information not only from drones but also from machines, rovers, and handheld 3D scanners. Start tracking your site progress with 3D data to streamline your management processes.

Additional options:

Correction data for your equipment

Activate the correction data license and upgrade the Edge into a combined processing powerhouse and base station unit. Keep all your 3D machinery on grade.

NTRIP Base Station Functionality

Instead of purchasing individual NTRIP accounts for each machine, use the Smart Construction Edge to broadcast a single NTRIP account across your entire project, allowing all machines to connect seamlessly or use it as a RTK base for your drone.

SATEL Radio Kit

When preferred, an additional radio can be attached to the Smart Construction Edge to broadcast correction data to all machines present on site.

Fully integrated and automated workflow
Faster than any other processing method
Cost-effective solution. The more you fly, the cheaper each flight becomes
Turn days of data
processing into hours

Drone surveying is great, but the huge amount calculation work still remains a painful truth. With Smart Construction Edge, data processing is only a matter of hours. Once your drone flight is finished, it starts to process the flight immediately, calculates point clouds, and has a 3D model of the terrain delivered within a very short time. For a jobsite of 25.000 m2, it only requires between 20 minutes to an hour of processing time, depending on the accuracy you wish to have.

No need for Ground Control Points (GCPs)
As a someone who thinks ahead of their time, you must have done drone surveying on one of your sites or at least thought about it. But for something that should be for the future, you’re still doing a lot of manual setup, like laying down those Ground Control Points. Smart Construction Edge gives you the ability to drone survey without putting down any ground control points thanks to its onboard GPS system that takes care of all the positioning job. This makes it also a perfect tool in those areas without reception, where onboard RTK from the drone won’t work.
