2017-03-011 - iPole - Inertial-based, increased performance, surveying pole

IPOLE technology uses Kalman’s filter algorithms to combine GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) such as GPS, Galileo, Glonass and Boidu with accelerometers to overcome the critical restrictions that actual surveying poles face such as magnetic interferences produced by railways or electric power stations. IPOLE’s solution enables a superior velocity (no need to stop&go) and an increased area coverage thanks to an inclinable surveying pole (indoor electric) unaffected by magnetic fields.

In short

Allows use of GNSS-based pole in any position, not just in a vertical one, and independently of the presence of magnetic fields. The surveying pole has two components both in the HW and in the SW level

Market Data

Problem/Solution

Companies with just GNSS-Based pole System must cope with significant restrictions to access challenging locations The measuring time in these areas, on the other side, is significantly high. This increases the overall number of man hours. Due to the abovementioned factors, companies are currently spending 60-70% more than could use if based on iPole’s system. iPOLE is an integrated solution that offers a signficant improvement in accuracy, data acquisition time and full operability in whatever type of indoor and outdoor environaments.
