Between Vladivostok and Vancouver: Technology from Jena flies with you

The small, but highly innovative Jena-based company Somag AG counts renowned camera producer among its major customers. And even Google Maps users profit from the company’s very special products made in Jena.

Somag AG manufactures stabilization platforms, otherwise known as mounts. This stabilization technology is used for aerial cameras and sensors and is applied worldwide. Around half a dozen sizes and weight classes are available for the systems, which ensure the smoothest possible camera movement on water and in the air, and thus very accurate data. With the help of these platforms, precise data collection on Google Maps is supported, pipelines are flown, and this technology from Jena is also on board when an Airbus A319 commutes between Vladivostok and Vancouver as part of the “Open Skies Agreement.”

Thuringia makes an impression with its variety of small and medium-sized technology leaders – Somag AG is a good example of this. (hw)
