Frontier Agriculture has signed a new partnership with Esri UK, enabling it to create advanced geospatial solutions for the UK farming industry. By providing a better understanding of location data across the entire lifecycle of food production, the collaboration aims to tackle some of the major challenges facing arable farming today, including how to become more resilient and sustainable.
Formed in 2005 as a joint venture between Associated British Foods and Cargill plc, Frontier Agriculture is an agricultural business specialising in crop production and grain marketing, with an annual turnover of …

e-GEOS (Telespazio 80% and ASI 20%) is Prime Contractor of the consortium commissioned by the European Space Agency (ESA) to develop a digital twin for the simulation of heat island and urban flooding scenarios. The project, called “SURE” (Smart Urban Resilience Enhancement), began on 6 November.
The project will be developed by a consortium led by e-GEOS and composed of Politecnico di Milano (POLIMI), Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) and Stefano BOERI Architetti, with external services provided by the Czech Academy of Sciences, Institute of Computer Science – Department of …

Sodex Innovations, an Austrian company specializing in construction surveying technologies, has unveiled the SDX-4DVision and SDX-Compact machine-mounted terrain mapping systems.

These systems integrate advanced sensor technology and artificial intelligence (AI) driven data processing to create digital twins of worksites while the machine operates. Data is uploaded to the SDX Cloud, allowing for real-time analysis from any location. This allows professionals to monitor evolving site conditions, track inventory through automated volume calculations, and make remote data-driven decisions.

The systems are designed for easy installation on various types of heavy machinery, such as wheel …

Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon, has released upgrades for its BLK2FLY autonomous flying laser scanner. The scanner captures building exteriors, interiors, structures and environments to create 3D point clouds while flying autonomously.

The Leica BLK2FLY is a semi-autonomous flying laser scanner ideal for architects, engineers and designers to capture the exterior features and dimensions of buildings and environments that would otherwise require a UAV with a lidar payload or a traditional photogrammetry UAV. To operate the BLK2FLY, a user makes a few simple taps on a tablet and the BLK2FLY captures …

Tronics Microsystems, a TDK company, has upgraded its GYPRO4000 product line, which consists of tactical-grade digital MEMS gyroscopes. As part of this product line, Tronics highlighted the GYPRO4300 and GYPRO4050 at INTERGEO 2024.

The GYPRO4300 is a high-dynamics MEMS gyro designed for precision navigation applications. It features a ±300 °/s input range, 200 Hz bandwidth and 1 ms latency, making it ideal for dynamic environments. With a bias instability of 0.4 °/h and an Angular Random Walk of 0.07 °/√h, the GYPRO4300 offers high-performance sensing in a compact, digital and low …
