Smart Construction Edge

Smart Construction Edge is a base station for construction sites that delivers a seamless workflow for capturing accurate terrain data using drone photogrammetry and then analyzing it with Smart Construction Dashboard. As a post-processed kinematic (PPK) base station for drone flights, Smart Construction Edge’s onboard cellular capability enables effortless data upload and connection to Smart Construction Dashboard.
If you need faster results, or if there is no reliable cellular network, Smart Construction Edge can immediately process the data on-board. This enables processing of the data while still on-site or driving to another site in remote areas and allows for faster access to analyze the data.

Feature Benefits & Highlights

easierfaster
Easier, faster and safer surveys

Acquiring terrain data by drone photogrammetry and then performing site analysis with Smart Construction Dashboard helps you make decisions faster. Plus, drone flights are easier and safer than walking surveys. Smart Construction Edge enables you to utilize your drone data faster. 

Rapid3d
Rapid 3D site availability

Smart Construction Edge simplifies the process of getting drone data into Smart Construction Dashboard for analysis. Its processing power and cellular capability (requires cellular plan, free for first three years) means you can likely use your data the same day.

Mixed Fleet
RTK Base Station Capability

Smart Construction Edge can send GNSS corrections to machine control and process drone data at the same time without disruption to production or processing.
