Earthwork accuracy starts with data you can rely on. Skylle Ⅱ’s RTK positioning and MMC X2C’s mechanical shutter (S-GS global shutter) eliminate motion blur and geotag errors, capturing imagery with centimeter-level precision. MMC X2C’s 5-lens system (1 vertical + 4 oblique) synchronizes high-resolution data capture, while real-time POS offset calculation ensures 5-way precise location data—critical for validating cut/fill volumes and terrain models.
3. Multi-Data Outputs: Monitor Earthwork Efficiently
From raw data to actionable insights, the solution delivers everything you need:
- 3D Models & Point Clouds: Detailed terrain reconstructions for volume calculations and progress tracking.
- DSM/DEM: Digital Surface/Elevation Models to analyze slope stability and drainage.
MMC X2C’s intuitive software auto-generates outputs, cutting post-processing time by 60%—so you get results faster, adjust plans sooner.
4. Built for the Field: Durable, Reliable, All-Weather
Construction sites are tough—but Skylle Ⅱ + MMC X2C thrive. Skylle Ⅱ’s IP54 rating resists dust/rain, while dual backup batteries provide 80 minutes of flight to cover 100+ acres per mission. MMC X2C operates in -20°C~65°C, with a metal frame and no exposed cables—ensuring reliability in dirt, wind, or extreme temperatures.
Earthwork Reimagined: Faster, Smarter, More Profitable
With Skylle Ⅱ and MMC X2C, earthwork surveying moves from a bottleneck to a competitive edge. Whether you’re tracking daily cut/fill, validating design vs. as-built, or updating stakeholders, this solution lets you:
✅ Slash survey time by 70% vs. traditional methods.
✅ Reduce rework with centimeter-accurate volume data.
✅ Streamline reporting with auto-generated 3D models and DSM/DEM.
