Aptella to distribute the Polaris long range 3D laser scanner, along with Maverick and Lynx mobile mapping platforms, across Australia, New Zealand and PNG.

Geospatial solutions provider Aptella announces a distribution agreement with Canadian-based mass data capture manufacturer, Teledyne Optech. The new partnership will see Aptella distribute the Polaris series of long range scanners as well as Teledyne Optech’s mobile mapping solutions throughout Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea.

“Teledyne Optech’s range of high accuracy, long distance scanners are ideally suited to the mining, engineering and construction markets, making them a great fit for our customers,” said Martin Nix, Aptella CEO.

Teledyne Optech’s Polaris model is a terrestrial 3D laser scanner that can deliver high accuracy point clouds up to distances of 1.6 kilometres. Ideal for mining, civil engineering and other long range applications, the Polaris also includes a built-in camera for 360-degree photography and geo-referencing for survey information.

For mobile mapping applications, the Maverick is a uniquely portable system that weighs less than nine kilograms and can be assembled on any vehicle fitted with a roof rack or other suitable frame in less than 15 minutes. Unlike other solutions that require significant installation time and expertise, along with external computers to record data, the Maverick is an all-in-one setup that is ready to work in minutes!

For survey grade accuracy on vehicle mapping applications, Aptella will also work alongside Teledyne Optech experts to deliver the Lynx advanced scanning and lidar mobile platform. This custom-designed solution offers the very highest standards of performance and millimetre-level accuracy.

“The Polaris is an exceptional solution for precision long range laser scanning applications and the Maverick is ideal for customers that need a reliable, self-sufficient mobile mapping system that you can easily transport,” said Paul Malatzky, Aptella Market Development Manager for Scanning Systems. “Teledyne Optech products complement our range of Z+F and Topcon scanning instruments to offer customers a reliable, high performance solution for every application,” he added.
