SDX-Compact
Machine. Scan. Total Overview.
The SDX-Compact is a LiDAR-based surveying system that converts standard earthmoving equipment into a mobile survey device. It mounts to the machine, combines LiDAR scanning with GNSS positioning and integrated sensors, and starts collecting the moment the operator starts working.
There is no manual calibration step. Installation takes a few minutes, and the unit moves between machines easily — so a single system can follow the work rather than sitting idle on a machine that’s parked.
As the machine operates, the SDX-Compact continuously scans the surrounding terrain and uploads topographic data wirelessly to SDX-Cloud roughly every 10 minutes. You get as-built documentation without a dedicated survey crew and without interrupting anyone’s day.
Built For
Earthmoving and site prep
Road Construction
Landfill Management
Automated stockpile monitoring for inventory volumes and material billing
Machine Compatilibilty
The SDX-Compact is designed for loaders, dozers, and other earthmoving equipment. For excavators, the boom-mounted SDX-4DVision is the right system — it looks directly into the trench rather than scanning from the roof.

Why Contractors Choose It
You already have machines covering the ground. The SDX-Compact means that coverage produces data. Cut and fill volumes update through the day, terrain gets compared against design models automatically, and variances surface while they’re still cheap to fix.
See It on Your Own Machine
The fastest way to judge the SDX-Compact is to watch it scan ground you already know. We’ll mount a unit on one of your dozers or loaders, run it through a normal shift, and show you the data that comes back.
