The firm says that its new handheld imager now offers twice the operating range of the previous variant. In-picture measurement accuracy has also been improved for indoor and outdoor applications.

Users benefit from new guidance and accuracy indication features that allow them to optimise the capturing process to achieve high measurement accuracy. This is achieved by significantly enhancing BLK3D image processing algorithms alongside workflow adaptation which allows for capturing multi-shots with up to four shots. The BLK3D Update is rolled out with the new BLK3D Mobile and Desktop software version 3.0. BLK3D with Publisher license enables collaboration amongst teams, providing accessibility to 3D images using the cloud. Measurements can be created and shared on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets across project teams.

The firm says that it designed BLK3D mobile and desktop 3.0 for users starting their journey into digitalisation and digital experts that have already been working in the area for some time. The unit provides increased accuracy, longer range and added functionality, allowing users to make their work more efficient, effective and productive according to the company.

    Recent exhibitions have been launch venues for key developments in aggregate production technologies - Mike Woof reports Efficient production of aggregates is crucial for maintaining cost-effectiveness and also lowering material costs. With contractors owning many of their own quarry operations, these firms understand the benefits of reducing materials costs for their road construction projects. Major developments in the equipment for crushing, screening and washing aggregates are now coming to market and e

    Greater GPS accuracy suggests closer tolerances for surveying and machine control functions What happens in the future for GPS surveying and machine control could depend on satellite choice and signals. Right now there are around 30 satellites in orbit, largely built by the US, but by 2012 that could rise to 120 as Europe, China, India and Russia fully enter the market. A chequered history has faced the European's Galileo system. At long last, the finance appears to be in place and the European Commission a
