Other drone companies require teams to upload the captured raw data for post-processing. Exyn technology is different. Everything happens on board the tablet, so teams simply have to download the log from the robot. Then, using the same software used to plan the mission – ExView – users can post-process the log, clean/smooth it, downsample it for easier file sharing, colorize the log, geo-reference it, remove any non-static points, and finally export it into a point cloud format: .ply, .las, or .xyz.  Exyn Technologies' advanced 3D mapping software delivers features that elevate the post-flight phase to unprecedented heights.

Post-flight analysis isn't just about numbers and coordinates. Exyn's software provides [detailed 3D visualizations](https://www.exyn.com/technology/point-cloud-data-visualization?hsLang=en), enabling users to immerse themselves in the data. These visual tools can be manipulated, scaled, and rotated, granting a holistic understanding of the mapped area. Moreover, layers can be added or removed, allowing for a granular focus or broad overview.

ExynAI software can integrate with any robotic platform, so missions are not constrained to just aerial platforms. (Read about our autonomy working on a quadruped robot like Boston Dynamics Spot [here](https://www.robotics247.com/article/exyn_technologies_and_trimble_outfit_boston_dynamics_spot_with_3d_scanning_and_mapping_systems_for_use_in_construction_industry).) Exyn's autonomy and 3D mapping solutions are revolutionizing mining, construction, and infrastructure inspection, but we're not stopping there.

Our technology can change the world. In the future, we will continue to move into wheeled and tracked robots and, eventually, underwater and even space robots. If you can control a robot with two joysticks, ExynAI can pilot it with suitable sensors. 

Post-flight analysis is where the rubber meets the road in drone technology. Exyn Technologies' sophisticated 3D mapping software ensures that every byte of data captured in flight is processed, analyzed, and presented with utmost precision and clarity. By merging cutting-edge technology with user-centric design, Exyn is redefining the [future of drone data analysis](https://www.exyn.com/news/future-of-work-with-autonomous-drones?hsLang=en).
