Quantum Systems Unveils Qube 640 LiDAR Scanner for Powerful Drone Based Mapping System

Defense News ,Germany :- Quantum Systems, a leading drone innovator based in Munich, has introduced its latest LiDAR scanner, the Qube 640. Developed in partnership with YellowScan for the Trinity Pro eVTOL fixed-wing drone, this lightweight and advanced LiDAR system aim to enhance precision in aerial data collection while reducing costs.

Florian Seibel, CEO of Quantum Systems, expressed their commitment to pushing the boundaries of drone technology with the Qube 640. The LiDAR system empowers professionals to make faster decisions based on accurate data, improving workflows, and doubling productivity.

The collaboration between YellowScan and Quantum Systems has resulted in innovative features, including an automated command and control interface integrated into the Trinity Pro remote controller. This partnership focuses on continually enhancing user experience and productivity for professionals relying on robust mapping solutions.

The Qube 640 revolutionizes data acquisition across various applications, including powerline inspections, vegetation surveys, archaeological exploration, and forestry management. It proves valuable in mining operations, offering 3D representations for volume calculations and stockpile monitoring. The LiDAR system provides actionable insights for diverse industries through outputs like colorized 3D point clouds, Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), and 3D contour maps.

Key features of the Qube 640 include a selectable field of view (FOV) of up to 176° and Trinity Pro's capabilities for an impressive 32 km corridor data acquisition. With a 120° FOV, it enhances productivity by 50% compared to its predecessor, the Qube 240. The LiDAR sensor excels in detailing foliage and tree trunks, enabling vertical scanning and minimizing outer edge mismatches through an advanced IMU. The integration of an 8MP RGB camera allows colorizing the LiDAR dataset in a single flight, streamlining data gathering and enhancing overall efficiency.

The Qube 640 boasts tight integration with the Quantum-Skynode autopilot, enabling simple, autonomous operations and workflows. Combined with Trinity Pro's capabilities, it achieves an impressive flight endurance of 60 minutes, making it the most efficient LiDAR system available on a drone. This technology brings airborne LiDAR efficiency to customers across industries, enabling faster and more precise mapping on a larger scale.
