Emesent

If you’ve ever dealt with a massive point cloud file and wondered where it fits into the rest of your project, Emesent and Trimble are trying to make that process a little less painful. Emesent announced at Intergeo 2026 in Munich that its mobile SLAM scanners can now feed data directly into Trimble Connect and Trimble Business Center, creating a more streamlined path from field scanning to finished survey and construction deliverables.

Australian drone mapping company Emesent has secured $17 million in new funding to accelerate its push into AI-powered autonomous operations, betting that smarter software — not just better hardware — will drive the next phase of industrial drone adoption.

Autonomous drone mapping startup Emesent has announced its latest survey-grade LiDAR payload: Hovermap ST. The lightweight, IP65-rated solution is being launched with Emesent’s new Automated Ground Control feature that, the company stresses, enables autonomous data capture in harsher environments than ever and for a wider range of use cases.
