INKONOVA
Our Tech
- Real-time laser mapping, the complete solution for underground exploration
- Access GPS-denied, constricted and inaccessible zones
- Laser based Beyond-Line-Of-Sight (BLOS) operation with Dual SLAM
- Integration in mining automation systems and routine flights
Inkonova offers real-time, underground mapping and data acquisition technologies unlike any other. Safe and efficient inspection, mapping, and data capture underground is now possible with our real-time, 3D visualisation innovations. Our agile, smart-drone technologies give you real-time access to areas that range from just below the surface, to deep, dangerous and previously inaccessible. We utilise non-GPS localization, SLAM and 3D pointcloud generation tools. Unleash your team’s exploration capabilities with Inkonova!
What we Do
Inkonova has pioneered the only real-time mapping and data acquisition tools for underground mining. Our technologies are the most cost effective, agile, and time-efficient tools available on the market to survey and visually inspect underground tunnels and formerly inaccessible areas. Exploring beyond-line-of-sight gives true all-around awareness!
OPERATIONAL BENEFITS
Simultaneously survey and map underground while tracking your device beyond line-of-sight. Mapping remote areas is now a quick, simple, and affordable process! Inkonova’s real-time mobile-mapping offers many operational benefits:

About Inkonova
Based in Stockholm, Inkonova began innovating tilt-rotor systems for racing drones in 2015, creating one of the world’s fastest drones (faster than a Lamborghini) before switching focus to becomes the world’s first developer of drone solutions for underground mines. Today, Inkonova develops both underground robotics for inspection as well as 3D mapping solutions with SLAM-based technologies.
At RAMJACK Technology Solutions, we offer solutions from Inkonova™ to clients in Africa, Europe, the Middle East and Latin America.
