Use-case focused funnel content

GNSS-obstructed jobs
Keep moving in tree canopy, urban canyons, and near structures where traditional GNSS workflows slow down.
GNSS-denied environments
Use Vi-LiDAR and visual workflows to continue field capture where satellite lock is poor or unavailable.
Earthwork calculations
Scan and define boundaries on-site to produce rapid cut/fill estimates for planning and verification.
Contactless surveying
Measure difficult, unsafe, or inaccessible targets with remote capture and telephoto-assisted workflow.

FAQ for pre-sales objections

How does ViLi i100 improve field efficiency?
CHCNAV positions ViLi i100 as a multi-sensor workflow device (GNSS, IMU, vision, and LiDAR) to reduce repeated setup and speed data capture in complex sites.
What happens in GNSS-obstructed or GNSS-denied areas?
Manufacturer guidance states SFix 2.0 supports continuity of work in challenging environments, with short-range GNSS-denied workflows designed to maintain practical field accuracy.
Can this replace a dedicated long-range scanner?
Not always. ViLi i100 is best for surveying and stakeout workflows that benefit from integrated GNSS + visual + LiDAR. For large long-range scanning campaigns, dedicated scanner platforms may still be the better fit.
Can it handle real-time earthwork checks?
Yes — it is positioned for on-site scan-and-boundary workflows to produce rapid cut/fill estimates for operational decisions.

ViLi i100 vs dedicated scanner workflows

ViLi i100: best when you need one field workflow combining positioning, visual stakeout, and LiDAR-supported capture in obstructed environments.

Dedicated scanner class: typically better for large-scale, long-range, or high-throughput scanning where pure point-cloud production is the primary objective.

If your team balances surveying + construction layout + moderate scan demands, ViLi i100 often offers a more practical day-to-day workflow.

Compliance and project assurance

CHCNAV publishes certification and compliance details for ViLi i100 by region (for example transport, EMC, and ingress/impact classes).

For tenders and regulated projects, we can provide model-specific documentation and confirm current applicable approvals at quote stage.
