On January 21, 2020, it was announced that RIEGL won the Member Choice Award for the RIEGL VUX-240 lightweight UAV laser scanner in the Technology Innovation category at the 2020 MAPPS Winter Conference.

The MAPPS awards competition recognizes the professionalism, value, integrity and achievement that member firms have demonstrated in their projects and technology developments over the previous year.

"It is such an honor for RIEGL to be recognized by our peers in the MAPPS Organization for our continued innovation in advancing the development of efficient and dense LiDAR point clouds from a UAS LiDAR platform," states My-Linh Truong, ULS / UAS Segment Manager for RIEGL USA.
