From September 15 to 17, INTERGEO 2026 took place in Munich, Germany, bringing together surveying and geoinformation professionals from around the world. Under the theme “Inspiration for a smarter world,” the event provided a platform for industry professionals to exchange ideas on the latest developments and the future of surveying technology.

This was Alpha Surveying’s fourth time exhibiting at INTERGEO.

Four editions in, the show has been part of Alpha Surveying’s journey as the company has grown rapidly in the international market.

When we first exhibited, we were a young manufacturer presenting a complete range of products developed in-house. 

Since then, we have continued to expand our presence in international markets and build relationships with users and partners around the world.

We are still a young company, but each INTERGEO has brought more familiar faces back to our booth, along with new users who want to learn more about our products and discuss their projects with our team.

As a relatively young Chinese manufacturer with in-house design and manufacturing capabilities, Alpha Surveying brought three core product lines to INTERGEO this year: robotic total stations, uncrewed surface vessels (USVs), and RTK systems.

All three are developed in-house and already in production, reflecting the breadth of Alpha Surveying’s current product portfolio.

The Alpha TR10 Robotic Total Station Enters Production

At INTERGEO, Alpha Surveying shared an important update with the international market: the Alpha TR10 Robotic Total Station has officially entered production and moved into pre-release field testing, marking another step toward its market launch.

Alpha TR10 is built on more than 20 years of surveying and instrument development experience within our R&D team, combined with a decade of European precision manufacturing expertise.

The instrument integrates more than 500 optical, mechanical, and electronic components, supported by up to eight MCUs. With 1″ angular accuracy and an ATR working range of up to 1,000 m,  TR10 is designed for dependable operation in demanding applications, including dam and excavation pit monitoring, rail transit, bridge and high-rise construction, and one-person survey systems.

The aim is straightforward: to make robotic total stations more practical and accessible for everyday surveying work.

Visitors stopped by throughout the show to try the TR10 for themselves and ask detailed questions about lead times, distribution opportunities, and pricing.

Many also shared their own project requirements and field experience, giving us practical feedback and discussing potential cooperation with our team.

The response gave us valuable insight as we prepare the TR10 for its next stage.

In the electro-optical section, Alpha TR10 was showcased alongside Alpha Txa 1″ and Alpha Ta 2″ Android total stations, which have already seen use in surveying projects across different markets.

Their stable performance and straightforward operation have made them practical choices for a range of field applications.

Intelligent Unmanned Surface Vehicles

USVs are an important part of a broader sensing and data-collection network that connects space, air, land, water, and infrastructure.

Alpha Surveying has continued to develop its USV product line, working closely with users in different markets to address a wide range of field requirements. This ongoing development has resulted in a growing portfolio of USV solutions, now used in hydrographic surveying, emergency response, hydrological monitoring, education and research, and environmental monitoring.

The USV area attracted steady interest throughout the show. The Alpha M4 hydrographic USV and the Alpha Me lightweight survey USV drew visitors from across the surveying and hydrographic sectors, with many stopping to learn more about their capabilities and potential applications.

Alpha M4 Hydrographic USV

Built for demanding hydrographic and hydrological applications, the Alpha M4 supports a range of payloads, including multibeam echosounders, ADCPs, multi-parameter water quality sondes, and automatic water samplers. Its flexible payload configuration allows one platform to handle different survey and monitoring tasks with greater efficiency.

With a multibeam echosounder or ADCP onboard, the M4 can survey at up to 5 m/s, allowing it to operate in strong flood-season currents. Two batteries provide up to 7.5 hours of continuous multibeam surveying at economical speed, giving crews the endurance needed for extended work on large, fast-flowing rivers.

Alpha Me Swift USV

Since its launch, the Alpha Me lightweight USV has combined hydrodynamic performance, endurance, compact size, low weight, and intelligent operation in a portable platform. It has since been used by hydrographic survey users in different markets for a range of field applications.

The Alpha Me II on display this year features an upgraded thruster, with improvements in thrust, payload capacity, and resistance to entanglement. It is designed to maintain stable operation in currents of up to 4 m/s.

The propulsion control algorithm has also been refined, extending endurance to up to six hours at economical speed.

The RTK Product Range

In the RTK area, Alpha Surveying showcased the Alpha 40 electro-optical RTK, Alpha Zero handheld laser RTK, Alpha 4i compact RTK, Alpha 4AR visual RTK, Alpha 400 imaging RTK, and Alpha XBase reference station. All of these products are already in production.

The Alpha 40 electro-optical RTK combines inertial navigation with long-range laser ranging, delivering 3–5 cm accuracy at 10 m. It also features a dual-mode radio, dual 4G connectivity, two satellite-based correction services, and dual AR cameras, all integrated into a compact 680 g body.

Alpha XBase reference station offers up to 15 hours of operation with a 30 km radio range. It attracted strong interest at the show, with several customers testing the unit on site and placing orders during the exhibition.

With INTERGEO 2026 now wrapped up in Munich, we would like to thank all our customers and partners around the world for visiting us, sharing their feedback, and supporting Alpha Surveying.

We look forward to continuing the conversation and working together on what comes next.

INTERGEO 2026 marks another step in Alpha Surveying’s international journey. As we continue to develop our robotic total station portfolio and intelligent surveying solutions, our focus remains on turning field requirements into practical, reliable instruments.

There is more to come. We look forward to continuing the conversations started in Munich and meeting our customers and partners again at the next INTERGEO in Frankfurt, Germany.

Your Partner. Your Factory.
