Field Expands Leadership in Geospatial Data with Advanced RIEGL Mobile Mapping Technology 

"Following a comprehensive evaluation process, RIEGL stood out as the only provider capable of meeting our high standards for both data precision and efficiency," says Leif Erik Blankenberg, CTO at Field. 

Field has procured the advanced RIEGL VMX-2HA, a high-speed, high-performance dual scanner mobile mapping system installable on cars or other moving vehicles. Complementing this system is the Ladybug 6 360-degree camera and advanced pavement analysis cameras, ensuring unparalleled precision in data capture for diverse applications. The new system will be fully operational and ready for customer projects by mid-April 2025.

Revolutionizing infrastructure planning and documentation 

Mobile mapping technology revolutionizes data collection by using advanced laser scanning systems to capture precise environmental information along roads, railways, and other infrastructures. This data is transformed into Field’s cloud-based system, Mapspace, allowing customers to visualize, analyze and get insights into the data. 

“We are thrilled to continue our long-term relation with Field and making our innovations accessible to the Nordic market. Field is a strong partner to us that can accelerate customer benefits taking advantage of our latest technology”, says Dr. Harald Teufelsbauer, RIEGL Mobile Laser Scanning Business Division Manager. 

The versatility of this system enables deployment across multiple platforms, including cars, trains, and electric vehicles, reinforcing Field’s commitment to sustainable solutions. Additionally, the technology integrates smoothly with Field’s existing airborne laser data processing workflows, providing enhanced efficiency and accuracy. The high-quality data from the new RIEGL Mobile Mapping system enables detection of road-side objects and analyzing the data with Field’s AI-tools.
