About
About Leica Geosystems AG
Leica Geosystems captures physical sites through GNSS receivers, total stations, laser scanners and mobile mapping systems. Products such as RTC360 and BLK scanners create coloured point clouds, while robotic total stations and the MS60 combine precise angle and distance measurement with imaging and scanning. Field software registers observations and links them to project coordinates before the data moves into office or cloud workflows.
Survey, construction and infrastructure teams use those measurements to build terrain models, digital twins and machine-control references. Designs can be transferred to excavators, dozers and other equipment so onboard positioning systems compare the machine against the intended grade or alignment. Leica supplies the sensors, software, correction services and integration support as part of Hexagon’s geosystems division.

Timeline
Events
- 2024-09-24 - Partnership - Leica BLK ARC becomes certified reality-capture device for Boston Dynamics Spot
Leica Geosystems announced the Leica BLK ARC as the first certified reality-capture device for Boston Dynamics Spot. The announcement included software integrations for laser scanning workflows on Spot. Leica said the workflow lets users initiate Autowalk with laser scanning in the Spot app.

At Leica Geosystems’ Odense facility, an OMRON TM12 collaborative robot retrieves trays and positions them beneath epoxy dispensers. The system combines cobot-guided tray transfers with OMRON NX/NXIO machine control and vision technology, automating the full movement and filling sequence. After deployment, operator presence in hazardous areas fell to zero while tray movement and epoxy filling continued through unattended robotic operation.
