Trimble introduced further enhancements to its complete surveying portfolio as part of its Connected Site solutions:

 – New models of the Trimble S8 Total Station with options for monitoring and tunneling applications
 – New version of Trimble Business Center
 – A scalable Trimble VX Spatial Station
 – Improved field to office solutions for German surveyors

These positioning solutions add even greater flexibility and versatility to a user’s comprehensive surveying needs, providing seamless and streamlined workflow for all critical phases of surveying.

The announcement was made today at INTERGEO 2008, the world’s largest conference on geodesy, geoinformatics and land management.

Solutions for Monitoring and Tunneling Applications: New Trimble S8 Total Station Models

The new Trimble S8 Total Station models and Trimble 4D Control software create a powerful solution for real-time monitoring of permanent structures such as dams, short-term construction activities and side slopes in mines. As Trimble’s most advanced robotic instrument to date, the Trimble S8 Total Station coupled with Trimble 4D Control software provide surveyors with capabilities to pursue new business opportunities in both real-time monitoring and tunneling applications.

Trimble 4D Control is an advanced software package designed for deformation monitoring applications from simple campaign style monitoring such as periodic bridge inspection to large scale, real-time deformation monitoring. It is a complete solution for processing and analyzing monitoring data, as well as managing and scheduling a network of optical sensors in real time. The software can control up to five total stations with a single computer and it is scalable to manage large deployments covering hundreds of monitoring points from a centralized control center. In addition, automatic alerts can notify operators instantly when movement exceeds specified tolerances.

Advances in Integrated Surveying: Trimble Business Center 2.0.

Trimble Business Center is already an indispensable Quality Assurance tool for GNSS data. With new support for optical surveying data in Version 2.0, Trimble Business Center now provides a powerful resource for all of a surveyor’s Integrated Surveying projects. Trimble Business Center Version 2.0 can verify and integrate GNSS and optical data into single file as well as output data to a range of applications such as GIS, photogrammetry and CAD.

Trimble Business Center is exceptionally easy to use, intuitive and flexible. Visualization tools such as Plan views, 3D views, time-based data views and session editors help you "see" the data in the context of the whole project. And powerful spatial data management capabilities bring a new level of productivity and efficiency to the surveying and civil engineering office.

Scalable Solutions for Spatial Imaging: New Trimble VX Model

The Trimble VX Spatial Station is an advanced positioning system that combines optical, 3D scanning and video capabilities-Trimble VISION technology-to measure objects in 3D and to produce 2D and 3D data sets for spatial imaging projects. The Trimble VX Spatial Station has revolutionized the scope of services that surveyors, engineers, mapping and geospatial professionals can provide to enhance business opportunities for spatial imaging applications.

The new model of the Trimble VX offers an entry into Spatial Imaging with integrated video and surveying functionality only. Surveying businesses looking for ways to get the most out of their time in the field and office will appreciate the productivity gains from video aiming and in-field QC imaging. This new model also provides surveyors with 2D capabilities to produce sophisticated, image-based deliverables. The new model of the Trimble VX Spatial Station is scalable to full 3D spatial imaging functionality by upgrading to the scanning capabilities.

Trimble Companies Create Complete Field to Office Solutions for German Surveyors

Building upon the Connected Site concept, Trimble solutions for the German surveying market are stronger than ever due to the integration of the powerful solutions from Ingenieurbüro Breining GmbH and HHK Datentechnik GmbH with existing Trimble solutions.

Complete Solutions for Optimal Return

Surveying firms require flexible and integrated solutions to ensure business growth. This is why Trimble’s Connected Site is becoming the industry standard in integrated surveying technology and techniques. By leveraging Connected Site solutions such as the versatile Trimble S8 Total Station, businesses are able to adapt to new opportunities faster with improved efficiency and optimal return on their investments. Likewise, the same principals of connectivity and total workflow integration, such as the capabilities of Trimble Business Center software enables, provide surveyors with the day-to-day flexibility to adapt to any situation in the field, to maximize productivity and to bring projects in under budget.
