Leica Geosystems is showcasing the Leica BLK360 – the smallest and lightest imaging laser scanner of its kind. Anyone who can operate an iPad can now capture the world around them with full-colour, high resolution 3D panoramic images overlaid on a high-accuracy point cloud. It can scan in high, standard and fast resolutions, and perform a full-dome scan in less than 3 minutes (UK, stand G2).
NavVis is promoting its end-to-end indoor digitization solution, which can help reduce data collection time by 90%; compared to an approach with terrestrial laser scanning. The NavVis M3 Trolley can map and process up to 20,000m² per day (Germany, stand N9).
NCTech is showcasing its new LASiris VR – 3D reality capture camera, at the show. This push-button device provides vivid HDR 360 imaging seamlessly blended with 100m range LiDAR 3D point cloud capture (UK, stand H13).
Ohmex is showcasing the HydRobot remote-controlled craft solution, which uses their SonarMite OEM echo sounder with GPS and robotic total stations. The system is designed for hydrographic surveys of rivers, lakes and canals with tree and building cover (UK, stand N8).
Orbit GT is showcasing its recently launched Orbit 3DMapping Cloud. This new SaaS solution is designed for optimal sharing and use of vast volumes of 3D Mapping data, typically collected as LiDAR or Image data (Belgium, stand N6).
Radiodetection SPX’s C.A.T Manager Online system supports damage reduction and safety improvement, by providing near real-time monitoring of gC.A.T4 fleets. Also showcasing: Cable Avoidance Tools and high-precision cable and pipe locators (UK, stand C8).
RIEGL Laser Measurement Systems is showcasing its UAV LiDAR Sensors – RIEGL VUX-1UAV and the RIEGL miniVUX-1UAV. These lightweight and compact laser scanners provide survey-grade performance, while their size, weight, and cost makes deployment on sUAVs practical and economical for commercial applications (Austria, stand N1).
Senceive, specialists in remote condition monitoring solutions, is showcasing its innovative Nano tilt/deformation sensor. Designed specifically for the rail and construction sectors, it’s the next generation of wireless tilt sensing (UK, stand F16).
SierraSoft is showcasing its innovative BIM software solutions for infrastructures. These include SierraSoft Land for land surveying, and SierraSoft Roads for roads and motorways design (Italy, stand N14).
Skeye BV, an aerial survey and inspection company operating in the UK, mainland Europe and Africa, is promoting its latest 3D City Modelling capability from manned aircraft. Also showcasing: UAV mounted Ground Penetrating Radar Sensor (UK, stand B9).
Sonardyne International is demonstrating how its dynamic underwater mobile mapping can transform underwater archaeological surveys, contactless metrology and asset monitoring. It works by combining their inertial (SPRINT), Doppler (Syrinx) and acoustic (6G) technologies, with a subsea laser scanner (UK, stand L10).
Trimble is showcasing its latest solutions – Trimble SX10 Scanning Total Station and Catalyst, a subscription-based software GNSS receiver (USA, stand L1).
XYZ Maps is promoting the latest versions of Avenza MAPublisher and Geographic Imager, the Avenza Maps app, MapInfo Pro V16, and the completed Xtreme Accuracy Postcode Sector boundary data for the UK (UK, stand C11).

GEO Business is the UK’s biggest geospatial event for everyone involved in the gathering storing, processing and delivering of geospatial information. Launched in 2014 and organised in collaboration with the Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors (ICES), the Association for Geographic Information (AGI), the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), The Survey Association (TSA) and the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE).
The Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors (ICES) is an international qualifying body dedicated to the regulation, education and training of surveyors working within civil engineering. ICES is now recognised as the leading chartered professional body for civil engineering surveyors. They have introduced relevant and meaningful competencies for geospatial engineers and commercial managers which make a difference. www.cices.org
The Association for Geographic Information (AGI) exists to represent the interests of the UK's GI industry; a wide-ranging group of public and private sector organisations, suppliers of GI software, hardware, data and services, consultants, academics and interested individuals. The AGI, by way of its unique membership forum, brings together this previously disparate GI community to share ideas on best practice, experience and innovation, and offers access to unparalleled networking opportunities with significant business benefits. As such it acts on behalf of the community as a whole. Since its formal inception in 1989, it has built up a significant membership base and established itself as the respected voice in GI and is the membership body for everyone with an interest or involvement with GI.
