RTK GNSS Receivers And Accessories

Emlid is a company that designs and manufactures Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) / GPS receivers for surveying and data collection applications. Their products are known for their cm-level accuracy and affordability, making them suitable for a wide range of industries.

Emlid’s products are accompanied by the Emlid Flow mobile app for iOS and Android, which handles receiver settings, data collection, coding, linework, and stakeout. The app is synchronized with the Emlid Flow 360 cloud service, allowing users to create and access survey projects, manage coordinate systems, and export and import data.

The company’s mission is to provide simple, high-performance GNSS/GPS receivers, removing the limitations of prohibitive costs. Emlid’s products cater to both experienced professionals and non-surveyors who require highly accurate results, with no training required. The company’s team provides dedicated support, responding to questions within 24 hours, and continuously improves its software based on user feedback.

Industries include:

Land surveying
Precise agriculture
Bathymetry
Machinery guidance
Drone mapping
Archaeology

Emlid Works with Pix4D

Emlid and Pix4D collaboration to provides a comprehensive solution for creating precise digital models. The Emlid Scanning kit, powered by Pix4D software, covers the entire field-to-office workflow. Here’s a breakdown of their integration:

01 RTK Precision:

Emlid’s Reach RX GNSS RTK receiver, integrated with Pix4Dcatch mobile app, enables smartphone-based scanning with centimeter accuracy.

02 Data Capture:

The Pix4Dcatch app, connected to the Reach RX, captures images and geotags them with RTK precision. This data is stored online in PIX4Dcloud.

03 Cloud Processing:

Users can upload the captured dataset to PIX4Dcloud for processing, leveraging Pix4D’s photogrammetry software. This step is included in the Standard and Cloud 4. Advanced Emlid PIX4D Scanning kits.

04 Model Generation:

Pix4Dcloud processes the data to generate a digital model within minutes. Users can annotate, measure, and share the scan with stakeholders.

05 Augmented Reality:

Verify geolocated positions and visualize the project in Augmented Reality (AR) using Pix4Dcloud.

06 Terrestrial and Aerial Data Analysis:

Pix4Dmatic and Pix4Dsurvey enable further analysis and extraction of insights from both terrestrial and aerial data.
