Field tech

Field Computers & Software — Process Anywhere

Data collectors pair with total stations and GNSS rovers. Rugged tablets run QC on drone data. Office workstations still handle heavy LiDAR and photogrammetry batches — but the field is where bad data gets caught early.

Who needs this?

Any crew logging points, coding surfaces, or running preliminary checks before the office pipeline. Software stacks span manufacturer ecosystems, ArcGIS Field Maps, and third-party survey packages.

Office vs field

Use field hardware for control, stakeout, and rapid QA. Reserve GPU-heavy processing for classifying point clouds and running SfM — often with AI-assisted classification in the loop.
