Trimble Partners with Industry Leading Multirotor
Unmanned Aircraft System Manufacturer
New Geospatial and Agriculture Workflows and Deliverables through Additional Aerial Imaging Solutions
The announcement was made at AUVSI’s Unmanned Systems 2015 Conference and Exhibition, the largest international event in the unmanned systems and robotics market. MULTIROTOR service-drone, based in Germany, is a leading manufacturer of multirotor systems known for innovation and technology leadership. Trimble will be MULTIROTOR service-drone’s exclusive provider of multirotor vehicles for aerial mapping use in surveying, construction, mining, agriculture, oil and gas, and utilities. The combination of MULTIROTOR service-drone’s stable and reliable platforms with Trimble’s industry-leading sensor technology and workflow efficiencies will provide customers with best-in-class solutions for aerial data capture. Unmanned multirotor systems are powerful solutions for visually documenting smaller areas, vertical structures or environments where holding position is important. High-resolution imagery, orthophotos, terrain models and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) map deliverables created from multirotor data provide valuable information for the survey, engineering and agriculture industries that Trimble serves. “We are very excited to partner with MULTIROTOR service-drone. At Trimble we’re always looking for ways to meet our customer’s needs and enable them to solve the complex problems they encounter every day,” said Todd Steiner, product marketing director in Trimble’s Geospatial Division. “The collaboration will enable our customers to use a technology rapidly growing in popularity due to its flexibility and productivity.” About MULTIROTOR service-drone Founded in March 2011, MULTIROTOR service-drone quickly became a market leader in the area of professional unmanned aerial systems.
