Transforming life on site for the better: An expert roundtable with Leica Geosystems, Topcon & Trimble

January 25, 2022

Welcome to a new World Highways Roundtable on the digital revolution. We have a series of discussions on the future of machine control for you to enjoy, and new videos will be released each week. We asked three leading experts on machine control technology - from Leica Geosystems, Topcon and Trimble – to tell us how they are helping contractors improve their productivity levels and adopt new technologies. It's time to join the revolution and find out how to work smarter, they say. The future is far more intuitive than you might think.
