RIEGL VZ-400i

The RIEGL VZ-400i is a state-of-the-art laser scanning system that combines a new, innovative, future-oriented processing architecture and internet connectivity with RIEGL's latest LiDAR waveform processing technology.
This real-time data stream is enabled through dual processing platforms: a dedicated processing system for simultaneous acquisition of scanning data and images, waveform processing and system operations, and a second processing platform that allows automatic recording to board, geo-referencing and analysis must be performed in parallel. The VZ-400i offers an integrated 3G / 4G LTE modem, Wi-Fi and Ethernet communications hardware.
With its integrated orientation sensor (MEMS IMU, compass and barometer), the pulse repetition rate of up to 1200 kHz of the VZ-400i can be fully utilized in many environments and orientations. The system offers a wide range of flexibility, supporting numerous peripherals and external accessories through its integrated USB ports and stable mounting points.

VZ-xx Standalone - Reflector search and fine scan
Applicable for independent operation with the RIEGL VZ-xx scanner, without the need for a computer running RiSCAN PRO, via the human scanner's integrated machine interface.
Identifies all available spotlight targets and ignores incorrect ones due to user-defined rules and intelligent processing. Automatic scan of each valid reflector to obtain an exact position of the reflector as a basis for the overall recording.
Automatic on-board registration Allows you to drag and drop the scan project into the RIEGL post-processing software. Automatic registration uses:
- point cloud information
- Internal Measurement Unit (IMU) information
- compass information
- GNSS measurements
Essential on-board settings:
- Automatic selection
- Urban outdoors
- Outdoor non-urban
- Large interior
- User manual for small interior (in English) "Technical documentation and operating instructions", including, inter alia, instructions for: Safety, installation, operation, etc.
