Zurich-based company Wingtra has unveiled its innovative WingtraGROUND system, a comprehensive all-in-one solution that seamlessly integrates drone technology, field setup, and processing. This game-changing platform is designed to simplify high-accuracy aerial mapping for surveyors of all experience levels, making it accessible to a wider range of professionals.
According to André Becker, Senior Product Manager at Wingtra, the company’s goal is to “unlock the full potential of drone data” in various industries that rely on accurate and reliable mapping solutions. By providing a unified workflow, WingtraGROUND aims to bridge the gap between novice and expert surveyors, enabling them to produce professional-grade aerial surveys with ease.
The system boasts an intuitive user interface (UI) and setup process, which significantly reduces the time required to get started. Wingtra claims that their solution is over 4x faster to set up compared to competing products, eliminating the need for complex troubleshooting and technical expertise.
A key differentiator of WingtraGROUND lies in its integration with Emlid ground receiver technology, ensuring a tightly connected workflow. This allows surveyors to work efficiently, avoiding the frustration and wasted time associated with disjointed workflows and faulty setup configurations.
WingtraGROUND is fully integrated into WingtraCLOUD, the company’s cloud platform that facilitates seamless sharing and collaboration of surveying files. This enables users to easily conduct accurate surveys using drones, while also promoting efficient data management and analysis.
By streamlining the surveying process, WingtraGROUND has the potential to revolutionize the drone surveying industry. As Becker notes, “Until now, even with the best equipment, surveyors have had to navigate a range of tools from different manufacturers, leading to disjointed workflows and wasted time.”
The introduction of WingtraGROUND marks a significant milestone in the company’s mission to empower professionals with innovative solutions that drive efficiency and accuracy. This game-changing platform is well-positioned to lead the way as the demand for drone-based surveying continues to grow.
