Emlid Update: CAD imports & Esri partnership

Emlid has announced a new feature update, plus a key strategic partnership with Esri to enable ArcGIS users to utilise its products.

Emlid CAD Import

Take your CAD drawings straight to the job site, thanks to a new import format. With the Emlid Flow software, you can now import CAD files keeping their original design, including geometry view, colours, annotations, and block references.

Use it for your set-out and as-build projects:

• Stake out objects directly from the plan,

• Use it as a background map without mixing it with field data,

• Smoothly handle large projects with 50,000+ points.

Esri Partnership

Emlid has joined the Esri Partner Network to bring ArcGIS users the benefits of its GNSS ecosystem.

By joining the Esri Partner Network, the company expands its offerings for ArcGIS users with reliable, easy-to-use receivers like the Reach RX (compatible with iOS and Android), enabling centimetre-accurate data collection even in challenging conditions.

Recently recognised with the Red Dot award, the sleek and lightweight Reach RX (250 grams/0.55 lbs) is designed for GIS professionals and integrates seamlessly with ArcGIS Field Maps, ArcGIS QuickCapture, and ArcGIS Survey123 on iOS and Android.

Users can begin collecting RTK data by connecting the Reach RX to a CORS or local base. With up to 22 hours of battery life, Emlid receivers effortlessly integrate into existing workflows, providing an efficient solution for geospatial data collection.

heliguy™ has partnered with Emlid and Esri to offer these solutions to our clients.
