Map and inspect buildings

Inspect abandoned, discussed spaces

Gain fast insights for emergency response

Reduce scaffolding and rope access

Compare as-builts to as-designed

Plan renovations and retrofits

Generate point clouds for Scan to BIM

Go from drone data to BIM model with our free guide!

Elios 3 Drone

Your view from afar, the Elios 3 collects 4K videos and centimeter-accurate LiDAR simultaneously. Easily fly inside confined spaces, like roofs or basements, without setting foot into danger. Reliable, adaptable, and capable of repeating the previous flight autonomously to track changes over time, this is your data collection solution for complex environments. Survey tunnels, warehouses, and factories with a next-generation robot.

Surveying Payload

The Surveying Payload is designed for operations where 3D model accuracy takes precedence. The higher specification Rev 7 Ouster scanner is mounted on the Elios 3, while its partner software FARO Connect uses the world’s leading SLAM algorithm to convert LiDAR data from the Elios 3 into highly accurate point clouds and provides a range of SLAM presets. It’s a game-changer for operations and a tool you can rely on to capture accurate point cloud data day in and day out.

Inspector Software

This is the companion software for the Elios 3, offering online or desktop versions according to your unique needs. Colorize point cloud meshes, visually track changes with Comparison Over Time, and benefit from software designed to show you exactly what the Elios 3 saw during the inspection. Review and annotate points of interest spotted while flying, ready for streamlined communication between inspectors, maintenance teams, and asset owners. Where the Surveying Payload expands on what you can achieve with your LiDAR data, Inspector shows you the Close Visual Inspection footage you collect - with stunning 4K clarity.
