Riegl

Riegl is a globally recognised Austrian technology company specialising in the design and manufacture of high-performance LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) systems and 3D laser scanning solutions. With decades of expertise in optoelectronics and waveform LiDAR technology, Riegl provides precision instruments for collecting accurate geospatial data in demanding environments.

Riegl’s product portfolio includes terrestrial, mobile, airborne, and UAV-based laser scanners capable of capturing dense and precise point cloud data. Their systems utilise proprietary waveform processing algorithms, which allow for multi-target detection and high-resolution analysis, even in complex or vegetated terrains.

These scanners are known for their long-range capabilities, high-speed data acquisition, and integration with GNSS and IMU sensors for accurate georeferencing. The collected data supports workflows in BIM (Building Information Modelling), GIS (Geographic Information Systems), and digital twin applications.

Riegl’s technology is widely used in:

• Topographic and cadastral surveying
• Infrastructure planning and asset management
• Forestry and environmental monitoring
• Mining and underground mapping
• Aerial LiDAR for large-scale terrain modelling
• Navigation systems for autonomous vehicles

Thanks to its precision and reliability, Riegl has become a standard in industries requiring detailed spatial understanding and high-fidelity 3D modelling.
