RENISHAW MERLIN LASER SCANNER

The Renishaw Merlin is a cost-effective marine lidar system designed for coastal, offshore, and inland waterway surveying. Developed to seamlessly integrate with existing vessel hardware, Merlin enables the simultaneous collection of data both above and below the waterline, providing a comprehensive 360° survey in a single pass. By integrating with existing sonar equipment, Merlin helps surveyors capture highly accurate, time-tagged survey data, enabling the creation of detailed 3D models of the surveyed area.

Merlin utilizes a 250-meter scanning range with a 360° field of view, making it ideal for various applications, including coastal erosion monitoring, offshore construction, port surveys, and infrastructure planning. The system offers a ±1 cm accuracy, with easy installation and rapid deployment via a custom-made mounting plate. Its plug-and-playnature ensures seamless integration with your vessel’s existing equipment, cutting down on the time and cost associated with survey operations.
