Maptek FieldControl is a mobile application for controlling NS4 laser scanners.

FieldControl enables survey, engineering and field operations teams to control NS4 laser scanning and viewing scans directly from Apple and Android devices.

The application connects to NS4 laser scanners to control scan capture, verify coverage, conduct in-field registration, and review data while still in the field. Teams can confirm that the required information has been collected before leaving site, reducing delays and avoiding unnecessary rework.

FieldControl follows established survey setup and scan georeferencing workflows, while providing a modern mobile interface designed for faster field operation.

Cloud connectivity allows captured scans to be uploaded directly to Maptek Data System*, enabling immediate access for office teams and automated processing workflows.

FieldControl Overview

Common applications, operating priorities, and expected deliverables.

From field capture to office collaboration.

FieldControl helps surveyors capture and validate scan data while work is still underway on site.

Surveyors can connect to a scanner, configure a scan job and confirm that all required areas have been captured before leaving the location. Immediate scan review and measurement tools help identify missing coverage or setup issues early, reducing repeat site visits.

For monitoring programs, field crews can complete repeat scans, confirm alignment and upload results directly to Maptek Data System (MDS). Engineers and geotechnical teams can begin analysis sooner while operations continue.

MDS allows captured data to be shared with office teams or automated processing pipelines as soon as connectivity is available, reducing delays between field work and decision making.*
