This company provides a modular aerial autonomy platform for industrial drone applications, utilizing SLAM-based LiDAR technology for data capture. Their system enables the acquisition of accurate, colorized 3D point clouds in complex or hazardous environments without requiring a pilot. The platform supports various configurations and offers onsite post-processing capabilities for immediate data validation in sectors like mining, construction, and geospatial surveying.

Problem
Industrial sites such as mines, construction zones, and oil‑field complexes require high‑precision 3D surveys, but conventional methods rely on manually piloted drones or ground‑based LiDAR rigs that are slow, labor‑intensive, and unsafe in confined or hazardous environments. Delays in data acquisition and post‑processing extend project timelines and increase costs.
Solution
Exyn Technologies delivers Nexys, a fully modular drone platform that integrates proprietary ExynAI autonomy algorithms with SLAM‑based LiDAR scanning to achieve Level 4 (pilot‑free) flight in complex, GPS‑denied spaces. The system captures survey‑grade, colorized point clouds in real time and performs on‑site processing to lock the data into a global coordinate frame, enabling immediate verification of coverage. Operators can reconfigure the hardware (payload, battery, sensor suite) to match specific site conditions, reducing the need for multiple dedicated devices. The accompanying ExynView software provides live visualization, point‑cloud cleaning, and subsampling directly in the field, minimizing downtime between acquisition and analysis. An open ExynAI SDK allows customers to embed custom flight logic or integrate the platform with existing enterprise GIS workflows. All data are encrypted in transit and stored with role‑based access controls to meet industry security standards.
Target Audience
Primary customers are mining operators, construction and civil‑engineering firms, geospatial surveying companies, and oil‑&‑gas exploration teams that need fast, safe, and accurate 3D mapping of complex or hazardous sites.
