New Geospatial Solutions Drive Efficiencies and Streamline Processes for Survey, Engineering and Mapping Organizations

SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 23, 2015 — (PRNewswire) —  Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) announced today an expanded portfolio of geospatial solutions for surveyors, engineers and mapping professionals. Highlights include new total stations, a new GNSS receiver and new field and office software features. The solutions save time, reduce costs, streamline workflows and produce high-quality geospatial deliverables across a wide range of industries. 

"Trimble's portfolio expansion will enable our customers to work in a more efficient, seamless and collaborative manner," said Chris Gibson, vice president of Trimble. "Trimble's solutions are best known for quality, dependability and performance. Our vision is to equip customers with the most innovative tools, which includes a focus on offering new software applications that streamline and elevate the value of geospatial data to guide smart decision-making and transform the way organizations work."

The expanded portfolio of productivity solutions include:

Total Station Solutions

A range of new and enhanced robotic total stations—the Trimble® S5, S7 and S9—improve project efficiencies, productivity and deliverables. Times saving enhancements include improved Trimble VISION™ technology, SureScan™ technology included in the S7 and optional in the S9 total station, and the DR Plus™ electronic distance measurement technology as a standard feature. Theft and loss risks are also minimized now with Locate2Protect technology embedded in each instrument, allowing users to remotely track the location of their equipment in real-time using Trimble InSphere™ Equipment Manager. In the office, Trimble Business Center software can be used to create high-dynamic-range (HDR) images using data captured with total stations. A new total station data editor enables fieldwork to be rapidly reviewed and allows surveyors to create deliverables with confidence.

Scanning Solutions

Trimble continues to blend powerful 3D laser scanning and imaging hardware with workflow-based software to drive new efficiencies for survey applications and construction planning and design. The Trimble TX8 3D laser scanner now offers greater accuracy (down to 1 mm) and streamlined onboard operation when measuring to longer ranges,  decreasing the field time required for capturing reliable high-accuracy data. Enhanced tools in Trimble RealWorks® software version 9.1 further reduce the time to produce high-quality deliverables from Trimble TX8 data. The new version of Trimble RealWorks software includes improved workflows for creating floor settlement plans and 3D pipeline models as well as complete storage tank inspection and reporting capabilities.

GNSS Solutions

The new Trimble R8s Integrated GNSS receiver and updated version of Trimble Access™ field software combine to offer configurable and scalable settings. Surveyors have the flexibility across their workflows by being able to tailor the Trimble R8s receiver with the updated field software for their specific application. The ability to customize provides flexibility for future business requirements and allows customers to maximize efficiencies across their workflows.

Imaging Solutions 

Trimble enhancements to Trimble VISION workflows increase the value of highly accurate image data. Survey, engineering and civil infrastructure professionals can now generate dense point cloud deliverables in Trimble Business Center from images captured using the Trimble V10 Imaging Rover. Users can also quickly generate 2D CAD and 3D real-world models from images captured with Trimble total stations using the streamlined workflows created within Trimble Business Center and SketchUp software.
