A tool built to help locate things became a business devoted to making Wi-Fi work. Ekahau’s story runs from Finnish probability research to a warehouse where a walk can change the network plan.
Scanifly is a New Jersey-based B2B software company that helps solar contractors design and survey photovoltaic systems using drone imagery, photogrammetry, and AI. Its cloud platform turns a five-minute drone flight or remote satellite/LiDAR data into a to-scale 3D model accurate to within 1-3 inches, then generates layouts, shading reports, and permit-ready plan sets. Contractors use it from pre-sale proposals through post-sale final design to cut survey and design time by as much as 90% and reduce costly change orders on install day.
