The SDX-Compact OnTop captures a full 360° view from a side-by-side, wheel loader or any other suitable vehicle as it moves across the site. Use it for mobile mapping, in earthmoving, in aggregates operations and other site workflows to get near real-time insights straight to SDX-Cloud.
Earthwork teams need an up-to-date overview of the changing terrain to make decisions and prepare invoices. A side-by-side or UTV can quickly cover large areas and collect important data.
Quarries and material yards face a similar challenge: stockpiles change as material is moved, and inventory figures must be updated regularly.
The SDX-Compact OnTop offers 360° data capture with automatic updates to SDX-Cloud that make data available within minutes.
Full 360° capture provides an all-around view as a vehicle moves through the site and allows to capture wide areas quickly.
Even if GNSS reception might be lost for a short period of time because of tree coverage or bridges, the SDX-Compact OnTop can still capture accurate data.
Review 3D data in SDX-Cloud alongside all other project information your team uses to understand the site.
The plug-and-play design does not require vehicle-specific calibration. Switching units between machines is possible in less than 5 minutes.
The SDX-Compact OnTop can be configured to start scanning as soon as the machine is operating. No manual trigger needed from the operator.
SDX-Compact OnTop data is being processed fully automatically and real-time progress dashboards are available to monitor moved volume and simplify grade-checking.
The SDX-Compact OnTop turns any vehicle into a mobile mapping unit. Its 360° field of view captures cut and fill areas as well as material storage areas around the vehicle as it moves, creating detailed 3D data for a clear view of site conditions.
Review the captured data in SDX-Cloud to streamline measurements, planning, and coordination.
This flexible approach supports a range of site workflow:
Map changing terrain and work areas from a suitable site vehicle like a UTV, dozer or water truck. Capture site conditions as the vehicle drives through the project area, then review the data in SDX-Cloud to document progress, review cut and fill and use the data in customizable reports for handover and project documentation.
Capture stockpiles and surrounding areas in quarries and storage yards. Mounting the unit on wheel loaders enables mapping of the current inventory during the normal day-to-day business. Use SDX-Cloud to setup fully automatic stockpile volume dashboards and assign material density values to get tonnages automatically. Share dashboards with links with any important team members.
Capture detailed 3D data of terrain and surrounding surfaces as you drive through an area. Use the resulting data to document existing conditions for estimating, progress updates or use the point cloud to prepare documentation for invoicing and handovers.
Full 360° scanning for vehicles and wheel loaders. Ideal for stockpile volumes, quarries, and mobile mapping of roads.
SDX-Compact OnTop is also available in a Mapping Only configuration without cameras.
Choose the camera option when you want photo documentation alongside your site capture. Photos can be captured after a set distance or certain timeframe for documentation purposes. The cameras can also be used to colorize point clouds.
Set up the project in SDX-Cloud, define coordinate system or import your local coordinate system definition and add design files, line work and any other information needed for the team to get their insights.
Every scan lands in SDX-Cloud automatically and will be merged with data from other systems if several units are operating in the same project. Additionally, data from drones, scanners and any other surveying device can be uploaded.
SDX-Compact OnTop is a self-contained site-capture system mostly used on earthmoving machines, such as dozers and graders, or on aggregates plants on wheel loaders and dumpers, but it can also be installed on any other machine that covers the site. This includes UTVs, cars or water trucks.
The Plug-and-Play approach enables you to switch the system between different machines within a matter of minutes by just taking it off the base plates and putting it on a different vehicle.
Turn, zoom, and move through the scan. Double-click a spot to fly there.
SDX-Mate lets you check and control your SDX-Compact OnTop from a smartphone, tablet, or laptop. Simply connect to the system’s Wi-Fi and open it in your browser. There’s no app to install.
Choose the project your scans belong to, check that the system is recording, and see whether data is still uploading to SDX-Cloud. If your SDX-Compact OnTop isn’t set to start scanning automatically, you can start and stop scans through SDX-Mate whenever you need to.
“The loaders are just busy bees running around the jobsite all the time. It's good to have a live count of stuff instead of a snapshot in time.”

“By the time we shut the machine down and get back to the office, the data is already there. You open up your computer and it's all there.”
Seth Penland
Senior project manager, F.M. Kitchens
“The next step up from what GPS and drone data has been is this: we're getting info multiple times a day, not just periodically through the year. That's the key with Sodex Innovations.”

VDC manager, BHI
Local partners in the United States, Europe, and Australia demo SDX-Systems on your site and support you before, during, and after the purchase.
SDX-Compact OnTop is a machine- or vehicle-mounted scanning system with a 360° LiDAR field of view, compared with SDX-Compact’s 180° setup. Its surrounding coverage makes it particularly suited to stockpile measurement, quarry inventory, and vehicle-based mobile mapping.
