SPH Engineering and Pix4D have announced a partnership that will transform the future of drone surveying and GIS management. The cooperative solution is developed for companies with a high demand for data protection looking for on-premises alternatives. This collaboration is designed for the construction, mining, and energy sectors. Driven by the core philosophy of seamless spatial data management, the joint solution is anchored on the powerful DroneGIS (formerly known as ATLAS) platform. This system is engineered to handle vast data storage, including images, orthophotos, DEMs, point clouds, 2D/3D designs, and annotations.  A significant attribute of DroneGIS is its integration with the Pix4D Engine SDK, making it the principal engine for photogrammetry processing.  Companies can now coordinate parallel photogrammetry tasks across a multi-user environment and seamlessly share outcomes with both internal and external stakeholders. Moreover, the solution’s modular architecture f
