265 Leica Geosystems has high hopes for iCON, described as its pioneering portfolio of tailor-made positioning and measuring solutions for construction professionals.

Said to be more than a new product line and a software package, the iCON range consists of four elements.

iCONstruct provides tailor-made hardware and software solutions for positioning and measuring tasks on site.

Meanwhile, iCONtrol provides communication between construction personnel on site while also offering what is said to be a comprehensive portfolio of machine control solutions.

iCONsult is an extensive support network, with clear guidance on intelligent construction aimed at growing contractors businesses.

Finally, iCONnect connects the iCON system to what is said to be a “superior” network using wireless data transfer.

    Topcon says that its new IP-S2 package combines GNNS positioning capabilities with inertial sensors, while the firm also has a solution for customers wanting to mix and match receiver components. The IP-S2 is a vehicle-mounted, mobile 3D tool that offers precision mapping and surveying capabilities. The package collects data using 3D laser scanners, LIDAR, and/or cameras, and this is then integrated, time-stamped and geo-referenced. The customer can use this assembled data to combine LIDAR point cloud and d
