ELEVATING ACCURACY - EMPOWERING ACTION
Aero-Graphics Optimizes Aerial Mapping Capabilities with RIEGL’s VQ-1560 III-S Airborne Laser Scanner
TECHNOLOGY MOVES FAST – AND SO DO WE.
For 60 years, Aero-Graphics has been at the forefront of aerial mapping, helping power companies keep the lights on, transportation agencies plan smarter, and land managers see the terrain more clearly than ever before. To stay ahead of the growing demand for fast, more precise data, we have added RIEGL’s VQ-1560 III-S to our sensor lineup – one of the most powerful laser scanners on the market.
But what does that mean for our clients?
HIGHER RESOLUTION, FASTER TURNAROUNDS, AND SMARTER DECISIONS
Geospatial data is about clarity. It is about helping decision-makers see the world more precisely so that they can build, plan, and protect with confidence. And because the RIEGL VQ-1560 III-S brings a 4 MHz pulse rate, and innovative cross-fire scanning pattern, it ensures uniform point distribution and sharper details in every dataset we deliver.
“This scanner nearly doubles our efficiency while maintaining the accuracy our clients count on,” says Kelly Francis, Co-President of Aero-Graphics. “We can cover more ground, and reduce schedule risks, which means faster data delivery and more reliable results, especially in time-sensitive projects.”
MAXIMIZING EVERY FLIGHT
The highest quality data begins in the technology and with this new sensor, we are ready to soar! The RIEGL VQ-1560 III-S lets us fly higher and faster than before, allowing us to maximize collection time and minimize delays. With advanced efficiency and precision, we are able to maximize every flight – capturing more data in less time.
For our clients, that means fewer re-flights, quicker data delivery, and more efficient project timelines.
“In our world, efficiency isn’t just about speed—it’s about reliability,” says Casey Francis, Co-President of Aero-Graphics. “Delivering the highest-quality data starts with having the right technology and the right team. Our success has always come through working with great people – both within Aero-Graphics and through trusted partnerships like the one we have with RIEGL.”
INVESTING IN THE FUTURE
With nearly double the efficiency of our existing sensors, we’re ready to take on larger projects, tighter deadlines, and more complex terrains – all while maintaining the standard of excellence Aero-Graphics is known for.
This acquisition isn’t just about keeping up with industry standards – it’s about raising them.
With the RIEGL VQ-1560 III-S, we’re expanding our capacity, increasing efficiency without compromising quality, and delivering better data, faster, to the clients who rely on us.
Aero-Graphics has always been about staying ahead, adapting fast, and delivering data that makes a difference. With this new sensor, we’re doing just that – and we can’t wait to put it to work!
