Scanifly announced an integration with IronRidge, a move that will automatically transfer Scanifly’s design data and panel placement into IronRidge’s Design Assistant, effectively eliminating platform switching and saving contractors up to three hours per project.
The direct API integration connects Scanifly’s design environment with IronRidge’s racking, bill of materials (BOM), and engineering capabilities, enabling contractors to select optimal mounting equipment and generate comprehensive BOMs easily.
Scanifly’s drone technology creates to-scale 3D models with precise measurements that integrate directly into IronRidge Design Assistant. This accuracy minimizes procurement errors and ensures correct rail quantities, preventing the costly mistakes that occur when modules are manually redrawn with incorrect spacing or placement.
“In 2026, when solar companies need to be more time and cost-efficient than ever, eliminating wasteful steps is critical,” said Jason Steinberg, CEO of Scanifly, in a statement. “Scanifly’s focus is on reducing time spent in the solar workflow while never compromising on system accuracy, fitment, or maximizing production. Our integration with IronRidge delivers exactly that—connecting precise DroneDesign layouts directly to their racking calculations so contractors can move faster without sacrificing quality.”
The integration links Scanifly’s photorealistic designs with IronRidge’s mounting systems, allowing for racking configurations based on actual roof conditions for the XR or Aire systems and attachments like FlashFoot2 or HUG.
Tony Lenh, Digital Product Lead at IronRidge, added, “This integration accelerates the path from design to installation by eliminating redundant design work and ensuring accurate racking specifications. By removing the need to manually transfer data between platforms, contractors can work faster and with greater confidence that the racking system matches what’s needed on the roof.”
