Trimble has put its new generation crane collision-avoidance system on show at Conexpo 2014, developed in conjunction with Manitowoc Cranes. The Manitowoc Falcon system combines precision GNSS with collision-avoidance technology to provide real time, centimetre-accurate positioning for multiple cranes working on a construction site.
The solution, which can be seen on Stand N11766 at Conexpo 2014, has been designed to enhance crane operator awareness and improve safety and productivity in the construction

Trimble continues to develop its operations with the acquisition of German firm Linear project for an undisclosed sum. This privately owned firm is a leading provider of scheduling software for linear infrastructure projects. Linear project’s TILOS time and location planning software is used worldwide and is ideal for highways construction as well as other linear civil engineering projects. Linear construction projects present major challenges as work is not performed in a single location. But the TILOS sof
