Ready to get scanning for you


Speak with one of our experts to learn about what robotic carrier makes sense for your needs. BLK ARC and it's robotic carriers can go where humans could otherwise face danger and insecurity. Let the BLK ARC do what you can't, and take reality capture technology to every part of your job.

TECHNOLOGY


Meet the tech.

Remote user operation


Plan and execute missions from a remote location, whether in the office or in the field, which also keeps you safe from hazardous areas.

Offline path planning


Create new missions and adjust existing missions for any environment using Leica Cyclone 3DR.

GrandSLAM technology


GrandSLAM combines LiDAR SLAM, Visual SLAM, and an IMU to enable fully autonomous scanning and robotic navigation.

Static and mobile scanning modes


BLK ARC can scan in static and mobile mode during the same scan mission.

LIDAR module protection


Included U-bar protects the BLK ARC module when mounted to its robotic carrier.

USE CASES


Apply your data.

Buildings & Infrastructure

Documenting site conditions on a daily, routine basis can be time-consuming and repetitive, but BLK ARC makes the job easy, fast, and fully autonomous. 

Underground

To document structures and environments in hazardous or inconvenient environments, like underground mines, BLK ARC is the tool of choice as you can plan scans remotely and let it scan on its own. 

Industrial & Plant

To perform reality capture of complex structures and environments, BLK ARC is ideal; with SPOT, it autonomously scans and navigates through plants and facilities.

Utilities

Capturing utility infrastructure, complexes, and facilities with BLK ARC provides an easy to use and fully autonomous robotic reality capture workflow with minimal hands-on work required.
