What do all these new ideas and new ways of working mean for the future of our industry?

World Highways editor Mike Woof is asking the questions and our panel of key opinion leaders providing the answers is:

Magnus Thibblin, president of the machine control group at Hexagon, the parent group for Leica Geosystems; Jamie Williamson, executive vice president for the positioning business unit at Topcon; And Scott Crozier, vice president and general manager of Trimble's civil construction field systems business.

Let's hear what they had to say.
