New Payload Slashes Time and Boosts Efficiency for Complex Survey Projects<\/h3>\n

At InterGeo<\/a> this week, Switzerland-based drone manufacturer Wingtra recently announced their new MAP61 mapping payload, which they describe as \u201cthe most efficient mapping sensor on the market\u201d. Able to capture up to 1,140 acres in a single flight, the MAP61 is designed to cover the most land in the fewest images possible, cutting processing times down and compressing complex multi-day survey projects into bite-size chunks that can be handled in a single 24-hour period.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cImagine reducing your fieldwork time from one hour to just 35 minutes, all while doubling your processing speed,\u201d said Julian Surber, Product Manager at Wingtra.\u201cWith MAP61, customers save time capturing and processing whatever their projects demand, whether it\u2019s 2D or 3D optimized data. This level of efficiency doesn\u2019t just save time\u2013it\u2019s a game-changer for anyone looking to increase their productivity and bottom line.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Via its oblique sensor configuration, the MAP61 is equipped to handle both 2D and 3D mapping and reconstruction, making it a compelling option across a wide range of commercial drone applications, including land management, urban planning, highway mapping, and mining\/construction operations. The sensor\u2019s angle removes the need for cross-hatched flight, allowing for users to gather all the data they need with a single flyover.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Our customers often work in challenging environments like open pit mines, highways, or urban areas, where constraints can limit flight windows.\u201d added Surber.\u00a0 \u201cIn these situations, quickly covering large areas is crucial for reducing costs, ensuring the safety of personnel, and delivering timely data to stakeholders. The MAP61 excels in these scenarios, offering speed and efficiency without sacrificing image quality.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

MAP61 is also tightly integrated into Wingtra\u2019s proprietary workflows, including their <\/span>WingtraCLOUD<\/span><\/a> all-in-one software package that combines flight planning, image capture, image processing, and data export into a single, easy to use interface that is accessible to non-technical staff.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
