Positioning and capturing as the perfect match. SDX-AutoScan: when machine control meets LiDAR.
The SDX-AutoScan is Sodex Innovations' compact site-capture system for dozers. A LiDAR unit sits on top of the cab and captures terrain around the machine during normal operation. Unlike a setup with its own GNSS antenna, the SDX-AutoScan uses positioning from the dozer's integrated Trimble Earthworks machine-control system. This also simplifies the process of setting up the system as no coordinate system configuration or additional correction source for RTK GNSS is needed.
The system is configured to automatically start scanning as soon as the machine is operating and therefore the operator has no additional tasks. The team in the field can continue their work as they did before as well but do deliver highly accurate progress and surface data for site management and documentation.
