The future starts with an accurate Map
Powerful SLAM scanners. Connected spatial software. Capture the places that challenge you—and turn them into a clearer next step.
Powered by WildcatSLAM
Working with teams who map what matters
OrbisFuse / beyond the point cloud
More than a map.
A way forward.
Connect your captures and put their geometry to work. Go from a site-wide view to the details that drive your next decision.
Connect every capture.
Bring overlapping recordings into a shared spatial solution. Review the combined coverage while retaining the origin of each capture.
Capture the world. Connect your team.
Two purpose-built scanners. One connected software platform. Find the right fit for your fieldwork, then take your data further.
VellusX
For roads, streetscapes, and mixed environments. Walk, drive, or robot-mount with RTK and PPK GPS fusion.
TerrusM
For mines, tunnels, and tight spaces. A rugged scanner built for demanding underground fieldwork.
OrbisFuse
Bring your captures together. View, measure, annotate, and share point clouds with your team in a browser.
Choosing between scanners? Start with the environment you map.
Compare VellusX & TerrusMYour toughest sites. A clearer view.
See what’s possible in the environments you work in, with real captures from the AutoMap platform.
01 / APPLICATIONPlant digitization
Turn complex industrial facilities into navigable digital twins for maintenance, retrofit planning, and operator training.
02 / APPLICATIONUnderground mapping
Capture survey-grade maps in GPS-denied environments — mines, tunnels, and subterranean infrastructure — without sacrificing accuracy.
03 / APPLICATIONRoad scanning
Mobile-mounted capture of road corridors with RTK and PPK GPS fusion for grid-aligned outputs and rapid coverage.
04 / APPLICATIONBuilding documentation
Walk through a structure once to produce a colourised point cloud suitable for BIM, facilities management, and as-built records.
05 / APPLICATIONShaft inspection
Lower the sensor pack into shafts, declines, and drawpoints to capture geometry where human access is unsafe or impractical.
06 / APPLICATIONAEC
Architecture, engineering, and construction teams use AutoMap to verify progress against design and to share spatial data instantly.
Real sites. Real captures.
Take a closer look at mapping in the field — from first capture to the finished point cloud.
In this series
10 videosAn easier path from capture to clarity.
- 01
Capture
Move through your site on foot, by vehicle, or with a robotic platform. Capture geometry and colour together.
- 02
Process
Turn field recordings into usable point clouds with WildcatSLAM and your AutoMap processing workflow.
- 03
Collaborate
Open the result in OrbisFuse. Measure, annotate, and share a common view of the site.
Two scanners. Find your fit.
Both stream into OrbisFuse and run the same WildcatSLAM engine. The environment you capture decides the sensor pack.

Sensor range and return rates depend on operating conditions and configuration. Point density, measurement accuracy and alignment to a site grid describe different things. Understand the specification terms.

Which AutoMap scanner is right for me?
VellusX combines long-range capture with RTK and PPK GPS fusion for roads and mixed indoor–outdoor environments. TerrusM is built for mines, tunnels, shafts, and confined spaces. Compare the specifications above, or tell our team about your site.
Can I map where GPS is unavailable?
Yes. VellusX and TerrusM use WildcatSLAM to capture in GPS-denied environments. VellusX also integrates RTK and PPK GPS fusion when satellite positioning is available. Survey control can support projects that need alignment to a site grid.
How can my team use the captured data?
Work with .las or .ply outputs in your existing tools, or bring captures into OrbisFuse to view, measure, annotate, and share in a browser. OrbisFuse also offers an on-premises option for teams that need to retain data in their own network.
Can I see a demonstration?
Yes. Tell us what you need to capture and where you work. We’ll discuss the right setup and arrange a suitable demonstration with you.
