Technology & Products

Key Products

NavVis offers the LX-Series (MLX, VLX 2, VLX 3) for advanced laser scanning and reality capture, and NavVis IVION for digital twin solutions and spatial intelligence.

Technological Advantage

Verified advantage: NavVis VLX system captures 600,000 points per second with dual LiDAR sensors, achieving sub-centimeter accuracy for digital twin creation. Defensible through patents and trade secrets in SLAM algorithms and hardware design.

Differentiation

Value Proposition

Reduces facility scanning time by 60-75% (from 4-5 days to 1-2 days) while capturing photorealistic digital twins, enabling remote collaboration, asset management, and operational optimization without extensive on-site resources.

How They Differentiate

NavVis VLX offers 3x faster scanning than traditional static laser scanners (e.g., FARO Focus) for indoor environments, with wearable mobility enabling continuous capture vs. point-by-point setups. Platform integrates real-time data processing vs. competitors' offline workflows.
