General Information about SLAM 200E
The SLAM 200E is a high-precision, high-performance, and efficient handheld laser scanner. The device is equipped with a high-frequency LiDAR sensor, two 12 MP panoramic cameras, an integrated GNSS module, and a powerful computing unit. This configuration provides a fundamentally new level of geospatial data acquisition.
The mobile SLAM 200E scanner is professional equipment designed for mapping tasks in environments without GNSS signal. The scanner delivers relative accuracy of up to 5 mm at distances of up to 60 metres and absolute accuracy of up to 2 cm.
The integrated computing unit allows real-time data processing simultaneously with data collection, mapping, and colour overlay. When a GNSS antenna is connected, it is possible to work with absolute coordinates in real time.
Using the SLAM Instant APP allows for map creation immediately after measurements are completed, including data on points, lines, areas, and volumes. Additionally, for specific industry tasks, the function of generating measurement reports on-site is implemented.
The SLAM 200E is an updated version of the first-generation SLAM 100 laser scanner. The model retains the key features of its predecessor and has gained new capabilities: the ability to resume scanning from a previous session, support for 3DGS, and other functions. These improvements make the SLAM 200E mobile scanner an even more convenient and effective tool for high-precision measurements.

Key Features of the SLAM 200E Scanner
5.1. Rapid Point Cloud Generation
Typically, converting raw point cloud data into final results requires specialised post-processing software, skilled personnel, additional office work, and significant time.
The SLAM 200E scanner is supplied with the SLAM Instant APP, enabling near-instant 3D reconstructions in various conditions. After data collection, specialists can generate ready industry reports in the field within minutes.
