Emesent GX1 Scanner | Emesent

Scan faster, without sacrificing accuracy

Emesent GX1 gives surveyors what they've been asking for: mobile scanning speed with accuracy you can rely on, time and time again. Delivering independently-validated 5-10mm global accuracy with integrated premium RTK georeferencing, GX1 eliminates the choice between fast scanning and accuracy you can trust - with GX1, you get both.

Real-time RTK quality monitoring, rapid accuracy reports, and 4x20MP cameras mean you can scan faster, prove accuracy instantly, and deliver professional-grade imagery that impresses clients.

Deploy GX1 on backpack, survey pole, vehicle, or handheld depending on your project - road topographic surveys, construction progress tracking, Scan-to-BIM, or GPS-denied tunnels - with the same reliable Emesent SLAM proven in autonomous underground drone operations.

With integrated removable batteries (no cables), flexible georeferencing with user selected targets in Aura, unlimited on-prem data processing with no additional charges, 360° walkthroughs of your data available in Aura Cloud, and continuous software improvements, GX1 is the complete solution for surveyors who refuse to compromise on speed and accuracy.

Simple enough for juniors.
Powerful enough for experts.

Emesent SLAM: Results you can trust

Delivering <10mm global accuracy both indoors and out, Emesent SLAM excels across the widest range of environments - from confined spaces to expansive outdoor sites where other SLAM systems lose reliability.

Now, with pioneering improvements to Emesent SLAM in GX1 such as enhanced accuracy, reduced drift and improved repeatability - you gain access to an unparalleled experience, delivering your most accurate mobile scanner results to date.

Capture more, faster

GX1's mobile SLAM technology and user-driven design dramatically reduces time on-site compared to traditional surveying methods.

Complete complex scans in hours instead of days, freeing your team to take on more projects without adding headcount.

Faster capture means faster project turnaround and more revenue opportunities per quarter.

A simplified user experience

GX1 is a complete integrated solution where LiDAR, RTK, cameras, and software work together seamlessly from capture to validated deliverable.

Simple enough for juniors to operate confidently within days, yet powerful enough for experienced surveyors. Aura and Aura Cloud extend the experience with enhanced data visualisation, shareability and cloud access from anywhere.

When every component is designed to work together, everything works better.

One device. Any project. Flexible georeferencing.

One device, four purpose-built deployment modes: backpack, survey pole, vehicle mount, and handheld harness.

Plus, access flexible georeferencing that works your way. Capture with integrated RTK in the field, use PPK back at the office, or select your own targets and check points in post-processing - minimising the risk of returning to site for rework.

Why did Emesent develop GX1?

Survey firms told us they needed mobile mapping that delivers validated accuracy without compromising speed. GX1 combines up to 5mm global accuracy with the efficiency of mobile capture, eliminating the traditional trade-off between accuracy and productivity.

Who is Emesent GX1 designed for?

Emesent GX1 is built for survey professionals who need to deliver high-accuracy deliverables faster - from construction and infrastructure surveyors to engineering firms capturing complex built environments at scale.

Is Emesent GX1 an upgrade from Hovermap?

Emesent GX1 and Hovermap serve different survey needs. GX1 is purpose-built for ground-based applications requiring maximum accuracy, while Hovermap STX excels in aerial and autonomous drone workflows where versatility across platforms is essential.

What mounting options does Emesent GX1 have?

Emesent GX1 mounts on a backpack, vehicles, survey pole and supported handheld, with quick-release mounting mechanisms for seamless transitions between platforms during fieldwork.

Can Emesent GX1 be mounted on a drone?

No, Emesent GX1 is optimized for ground-based mobile mapping. For drone-based surveying, Hovermap STX provides the aerial capabilities and autonomous flight features required for UAV applications.

Does Emesent GX1 work with Commander, Aura and other 3rd party integrations?

Yes, Emesent GX1 integrates with Commander for mission planning, Aura for processing, and Aura Cloud for sharing and visualization. It also exports to industry-standard software including Autodesk, Trimble, Bentley, and Leica platforms.

What accessories come in the kit with Emesent GX1?

The GX1 kit includes the scanner, 3 x batteries, battery charger, quick-mount device, backpack mount which doubles as the carry case, and all cables needed for immediate deployment in the field.

What doesn't come with the Emesent GX1 kit as default?

Users can utilise their own survey pole, or purchase any industry standard survey pole for use with GX1.

The vehicle mount is also available to purchase separately, and users will need to supply their own sim card.
