Transform Your Projects with the Versatility of the VQ-1560 II-S

The VQ-1560 II-S lidar system is well suited for various aerial survey projects. Whether dealing with wide-open spaces like open farmland or the dense canopies of the forests, this lidar for rent delivers unparalleled accuracy and incredible results for short-term projects and long-term use.

Industry Sectors

The Riegl VQ-1560 II-S is already a staple across a range of industries, including but not limited to:

• Agriculture
• Archaeology
• Environmental monitoring
• Forestry
• Infrastructure inspection
• Mining
• Urban mapping

Here’s a breakdown of how this aerial lidar scanning tool can be utilized in these industries.

Agriculture

In agriculture, precision is everything, which is where this Riegl lidar for rent delivers value to the table. From drainage planning to monitoring crop growth, this system can pair with other sensors to detect signs of crop stress and optimize irrigation across enormous tracts of farmland.

Archaeology

Archaeologists are uncovering the past by penetrating vegetation and revealing hidden structures. Additionally, archaeologists are already mapping out large sites quickly, from the Americas to Asia, giving researchers views they never thought possible. With rental options for these high-powered models, aerial survey technology has never been more accessible.

Environmental Monitoring

Environmental agencies are confronting the challenges of climate change and natural disasters with lidar models like the Riegl. From monitoring riverbank stability to coastline erosion, agencies are anticipating future challenges and helping society adapt to them. Additionally, this model can support recovery efforts post-disaster to potentially save lives through its incredible accuracy and wide field of view.

Forestry

The Riegl can support forestry professionals in various tasks, including mapping canopy structures, measuring biomass, and analyzing habitats beneath dense canopies. It’s also capable of modeling wildfire risks to maintain an accurate inventory of forests worldwide.

Infrastructure Inspection

Utility companies and other infrastructure operations need precise measurements to meet the needs of a growing population. With an integrated camera and gyro-stabilized mount, the Riegl can be used in fixed-wing aircraft to inspect powerlines, railways, roads, and bridges in remote areas, watch for vegetation encroachment, and assess structural health.

Mining

Mining operations in remote areas and areas with complex terrain often struggle with various challenges, and this is where lidar models like the VQ-1560 II-S come in. It has a proven track record with projects world-wide to improve efficiency in reclamation and open-pit mining projects with functions like volumetric calculations and terrain modeling.

Urban Mapping

The VQ-1560 II-S proves its benefits within the urban mapping field with its dual-scanning capabilities, doing everything from constructing digital twins to tracking urban sprawl and managing much-needed infrastructure upgrades. Municipalities across the world are already using it for mapping out their transportation networks and assessing potential flood risks with these aerial lidar scanning models.

Seamless Data Integration and Processing

Lidar data acquisition is one thing, but you need to turn it into actionable insights quicker. The VQ-1560 II-S is designed for frictionless integration into modern workflows, minimizing how long it takes from gathering data to turning it into something that can be used.

When renting the VQ-1560 II-S, an SNL (Serial number license) is also available to rent, providing access to the Riegl suite of software. This software is optimized for use with the VQ-1560 II-S and other RIEGL scanners.
