US Partnership Maptek for I-Site Long Range Laser Scanners

Maptek, the Australian-based provider of laser scanning technology and software to the mining industry, has signed an agreement with RDO Integrated Controls (RDOIC), USA, to resell Maptek I-Site survey systems. RDOIC is RDO Equipment’s positioning technology division, supplying equipment for mobile mapping and terrestrial scanning to various industries, including mining.

Maptek and RDOIC started discussing the partnership shortly after MINExpo 2012, where Maptek was showcasing its I-Site 8400 and 8810 laser scanners. The survey systems are deployed in mining and other industrial operations worldwide.

This partnership with Maptek allows RDO Integrated Controls to offer long range laser scanner systems to its customers, explained Adam Gilbertson, RDOIC general manager for the Northern Region. The I-Site laser scanning systems will fill a gap in the portfolio, making the RDOIC a one-stop source for scanning, survey and machine control solutions for customers, according to Gilbertson.
