Trimble has launched a range of new tools which it says will deliver faster and more accurate data to surveyors.

The 2122 Trimble S6 Robotic 344 Total Station with Trimble Vision Technology enables surveyors to remotely see and measure through a live video feed from the instrument on their data controller. By integrating survey data with the live video, surveyors can verify their work and ensure that they have captured everything before leaving a site.

Meanwhile, the Trimble M3 Total Station with Trimble Access Field Software allows surveyors to import road definitions from third-party sources, enabling users to input a complete road definition including horizontal and vertical alignments, templates and superelevation, and widening records. Users are guided through fast offsets, slope staking, real-time redesign and real-time quality control.

Further new tools include the Trimble GeoExplorer, the Trimble Business Center Software version 2.60, and the Trimble Access Field Software Developers Kit (SDK).
Anders Rhodin, director of Trimble’s Survey Business, said: “Trimble’s portfolio of solutions gives surveyors improved workflows for field data collection, enhanced collaboration between the field and the office and tools to output final deliverables to clients. In total, the solutions can streamline operations to help keep project costs on target."
