Leica Geosystems and Aibotix to serve UAV market together
Aerial platform breakthrough helps measure the world in unprecedented ways
(PresseBox) - Aibotix GmbH, maker of a new generation of vertical take-off and landing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), announced today that Leica Geosystems, a global leader in capture, modeling and visualization of 3D spatial information, has licensed the Aibotix X6 for worldwide distribution. Aibotix X6 features advanced, multi-sensor, intelligent guidance systems that make the X6 the safest and easiest to operate commercial UAV.
UAVs are becoming increasingly important in many of the applications served by Leica Geosystems' solutions. These include agriculture, asset & facilities management, cadastral mapping, disaster & emergency management, engineering, environmental, forensics, general industrial, mining, and public safety. Unrestricted positioning of various measuring technologies will spawn new applications as the full potential of this transformative UAV technology unfolds.
"For many critical applications, access is risky, impossible or simply too time consuming using conventional methods or platforms," said Rüdiger Wagner, General Manager of Solutions at Leica'sGeospatial Solutions Division. "We chose Aibotix because it is one of the best aerial platforms available for safe, reliable maneuvering of important payloads, not only in tight spaces," he added. "This UAV mirrors the high standards for which our brand is known, making it the right choice for global distribution now. Going forward, I am confident that Aibotix with their strong product roadmap and skilled team are well positioned to keep leading the market with true innovations. That's just what we need as we continueto think forward."
Joerg Lamprecht, managing director of Aibotix, said, "Leica Geosytems is synonymous with spatial information products, and an ideal partner for distribution of our UAVs. This is exciting teamwork from two companies that deliver pioneering solutions to difficult problems, especially when one has been doing so for nearly 200 years. Existing segments will be benefit and new markets will be discovered as great products from Leica Geosystems reach new heights in more places on Aibotix UAVs."
