Trimble is a global leader in the sphere of the GPS technology, which consists of combining satellite systems and inertial navigation systems, optoelectronic devices and wireless facilities for communications with the use of application software and additional services.
The company was founded in 1978. Headquartered in Sunnyvale, California. Trimble solutions are focused on practical use in areas where high-precision positioning or GPS function is required, including topographic surveying, construction, etc.
Students were presented with material about the development history of Trimble (USA) and its current developments. Talked about the means and capabilities of specialized software for cameral and field processing of laser scanning results. A laser scanner and a scanning total station, the company's advanced developments in the field of construction, were presented for review. Students were familiarized with the basic principles of work and features of modern laser scanning technology, intended for use in the maintenance of construction and maintenance of transport facilities.
Trimble TX8 is a 3D laser scanner. Uncompromising performance, range, accuracy and speed.
The Trimble ® X7 Scanning System combines powerful performance with simple operation.
The meeting ended with numerous questions. Students received answers to all their questions regarding laser scanning technology directly from Trimble representatives. They learned that scanning can be done at speeds up to 110 km / h, and the scanner itself can be located upside down. Students learned about augmented reality and much more else.
