Our systems are designed to detect the 3D geometry and location of objects. Detection typically occurs from mobile platforms and covers distances ranging from a millimeter to 100 meters. We research and develop very fast, robust measurement systems based on time-of-flight technology and camera systems. The spectrum of our customized measuring systems range from highly complex multispectral laser scanners to handheld devices.

MPS
The Mobile Precise Scanner (MPS) is a compact LiDAR scanner designed for high-precision 3D mapping. The system can be mounted on road and rail vehicles, as well as robotic platforms.
The High Speed Profiler (HSP) is a LiDAR scanner equipped with two laser modules that measures the position of the track bed and the clearance gauge of rail lines with extreme precision.
The Contact Wire Inspection System (CIS) is a multisensor system designed for simultaneously recording the position and wear of up to eight contact wires at speeds of up to 250 km/h.
The Wire Wear Monitoring System (WWS) is a camera system with active lighting that measures the remaining thickness of up to eight contact wires simultaneously.
The Weed Detection System (WDS) is a camera-based system designed to automatically and selectively detect weeds in railroad ballast, on roads, and on other traffic routes and surfaces.
The Mobile Precise Scanner (MPS) is a compact LiDAR scanner designed for high-precision 3D mapping. The system can be mounted on road and rail vehicles, as well as robotic platforms.
The Mobile Urban Mapping System mini (MUM mini) is a compact, universal mobile sensor box designed for installation on public transportation and other service or regular vehicles.
The Weed Detection System (WDS) is a camera-based system designed to automatically and selectively detect weeds in railroad ballast, on roads, and on other traffic routes and surfaces.
