As cities grow more complex, the demand for high-precision, mobile geospatial data has never been greater. In response, WGI is raising the bar by investing in one of RIEGL’s most advanced terrestrial laser scanners.

WGI is a leading national design and professional services firm headquartered in West Palm Beach, FL. They cover thousands of miles for telecoms and various Departments of Transportation across the country. They have been using RIEGL technology for years and they are particularly excited about this new acquisition.

A lead in WGI’s Geospatial Technologies team had this to say “…I am excited to have such a compact, accurate, and versatile sensor that can transition from static to mobile as quickly as one can unlock the mounting bracket. The ability to merge this data with any of our adjoining RIEGL VMX and VMY datasets gives me a lot of options to adapt collection workflows in challenging environments. I anticipate that this sensor will exceed expectations and provide an excellent return on investment.”

Discover how the VZ-600i is transforming city-scale data collection and pushing the limits of mobility and accuracy in the field. Read the full article at the RIEGL newsroom
