LEARNING ABOUT LIDAR, MAPPING AND SURVEYING WITH A DRONE. MICRODRONES CONTINUES THEIR WORLD TOUR


Our sales team keeps busy on the road, as the Microdrone World Tour continues to make the rounds. This year, the team is targeting local, regional, and more intimate conferences and events to expand their support network and target new prospects. Microdrones sales professionals will be in attendance, in conjunction with an established regional distributor, to provide detailed product support and information.

Samuel Flick: Trimble Express Allterra Rotterdorf

Samuel has been attending various Trimble Express Allterra Trade Shows as they continue their 18 city tour throughout Germany, showcasing trade booths, presentations, expert lectures and networking opportunities.

On February 27, the tour made it’s stop in Rottendorf, Germany where Samuel greeted Allterra DS customers from the region who work in surveying and are considering new technologies. At the event, Samuel fielded questions regarding the mdLiDAR series and how it can fit into the workflow of conventional scanning methods.  

Samuel said, “Airborne LiDAR Systems like our mdLiDAR1000 and mdLiDAR3000 can complement terrestrial scanner systems. Terrestrial scanners have their limitations when it comes to height or when obstacles are in their way. They are able to scan a house facade but aren’t able to scan higher elevations. Our LiDAR integrated systems are much more versatile and able to cover extended distances.”

In addition to support our dealer, Allterra, Samuel maintained a presence for Microdrones at the event. The Microdrones workflow, was a popular subject. Samuel said, “Some of the surveyors I met with were very interested in our flight planning software and learning about our workflow: Plan, Fly, Process and Visualize. I like to emphasize that the Microdrones approach is a complete integrated solution with customer support from start to finish. Our goal is to create partnerships and help solve problems for our customers.
