Business Value of GeoSLAM ZEB Horizon RT

Transition Through Environments

Seamlessly transition through an area, capturing entire datasets in one go. From interior to exterior, or stairwell to corridor, walking and mapping are made easier with mobile LiDAR solutions like the ZEB Horizon RT.

Map Hard to Reach Areas

Better understand spaces by capturing hard-to-reach sections of an area. The versatility of the ZEB Horizon RT provides opportunities to lower a scanner into vent shafts or elevate it into ceiling voids, increasing user safety.

Capture Data Faster

The lightweight nature of the scanner unlocks the potential for faster data capture. There isn’t a requirement for multiple setups to provide a desired outcome. Users simply need to switch on the scanner, walk and scan simultaneously, and return to their beginning point.

Repeat Scans as Often as Needed

The ease of use leads to anybody being able to map an area quickly with the mobile scanner. The process is repeatable as often as every day, if needed, leading to frequent and up-to-date data for all stakeholders, for more informed and faster decision-making.

It’s Not Just About Data Capture

Data capture is just one component of many workflows. What happens to that data and how information is extracted is equally, if not more, important. A solid software platform, like FARO Connect, provides the means to process data quickly and offers an array of automated pre-built workflows – such as change detection — allowing users to make the most of the data they collect.

Take Your Data Further

Following initial processing and analysis, point cloud data can be taken into a range of third-party software to make further enhancements and complement existing workflows.

Complement Other Forms of Data Capture

Combining SLAM systems with other LiDAR solutions, like the FARO Focus, offers a complete data capture package for an accurate, fast, and repeatable way to obtain point cloud data.

ZEB Horizon RT Features


  • 300,000 scan points per second
  • 16 sensors
  • Up to 6mm relative accuracy
  • Up to 100-meter range
  • Accessory options to enable users to capture data in a variety of ways

One handheld 3D scanner, so many ways to use it.

Real-time

The ZEB Horizon RT allows you to track your progress as you scan. It is the ideal, easy-to-use tool to gain real-time insight into your scans and to see your point cloud being created as you walk.

ZEB Vision

With simple and easy deployment, the ZEB Vision attaches quickly to the ZEB Horizon to capture colorized data and 360° panoramic images in minutes. The 4K resolution increases feature definition of objects within the point cloud, allowing for a new perspective on data by navigating within a virtual representation of an environment.

UAV Mount

Using a standard ZEB Horizon RT with a quick-release drone mount, you can go from walking to flying in minutes. Drone mounts are compatible with DJI Matrice 300 and the Freefly Alta 8, Alta 8 Pro and Alta X.

Vehicle Mount

Using a car mount, the ZEB Horizon RT can be securely attached to a vehicle to collect data up to 30mph/48kmph. Suitable for collecting data for areas such as small roads, town centers and residential streets.

Cradle and Pole

Elevate or lower your ZEB Horizon RT into difficult spaces. The cradle allows you to mount your Horizon RT for vertical deployment underground and difficult to access or hazardous areas such as manholes, vent shafts, silos, sinkholes and bridges. The lightweight carbon fiber pole allows you to mount your Horizon RT for mapping at height and difficult-to-access or hazardous areas such as ceiling voids, stockpiles and infrastructure inspection.

Mining: Rapid Site Information for the Modern Mine

The ZEB Horizon RT is an ideal tool for capturing both overground and underground data, due to its rate of data capture and range capabilities. Capture data for stockpile volumetric calculations, production progress mapping, convergence analysis, or vertical shaft inspection. Reduce risk to human life with limited exposure to dangerous environments and optimize mining operations for better returns on investment.


Real Estate: Map Properties Quicker for the Creation of Floorplans

Seamlessly transition from room to room in a property using the ZEB Horizon RT to capture all the internal data required for creating accurate floorplans. Provide a service that requires minimal effort for data capture, doesn’t disrupt residents or businesses, provides a fast cost-efficient service and provides a great return on investment.


Forestry: LiDAR Mapping for Rapid Data Collection and Analysis for Forest Management

Using a laser scanner handheld or mounted to a drone or vehicle is one of the easiest ways to capture data. Mobile mapping systems can map large areas in a short amount of time, and across tough terrains. The data accuracy is high enough for many forestry applications, and the ease of use of the data capture makes it repeatable. The ZEB Horizon RT in forestry has many practical applications that range from providing data to aid precision forestry or forest mapping, to biodiversity applications such as pollution modeling and to assist carbon absorption estimations.


Architecture, Engineering and Construction: Review Change Over Time Frequently

Ensure your AEC projects remain on track by reviewing changes over time. ZEB Horizon RT provides a method of data capture so fast and accurate that analysis of progress is viable monthly, weekly, or even daily, without disruption to daily activities. Avoid heavy fines and provide all stakeholders with concrete updates on the progress of the build, as often as needed. Use the change detection workflow in FARO Connect to automate this process, with easy-to-understand reports.
