“This series of agreements is an example of the innovation and
collaboration that is driving technology adoption in our
industries,” said Ian Stilgoe, vice president of Emerging Business
for Topcon. “Not only are we improving workflows and operational
gains for end users, but we are also expanding Topcon GNSS
technology into exciting new markets and use cases.”
Bentley Systems
As part of its agreement with Bentley Systems — an
industry-leading infrastructure engineering software company whose
solutions are used by professionals, and organizations of every
size, for the design, construction, and operations of roads and
bridges, rail and transit, water and wastewater, public works and
utilities, buildings, mining and industrial facilities — Topcon
will provide access to its powerful web-based GNSS processing
engine. Bentley has integrated this technology into their advanced
iTwin IoT monitoring solution.
“Combining our expertise in GNSS technology with Bentley’s
world-class software platforms will allow users to leverage
accurate and real-time geospatial information for improved
decision-making and operational effectiveness,” Stilgoe said.
“We’re excited to announce this integration of Topcon’s GNSS
technology into our suite of IoT-based monitoring solutions,” said
Steve Bentley, senior director of Infrastructure IoT for Bentley
Systems. “This integration will enable our users to combine
cost-effective geospatial monitoring data with the wide range of
geotechnical, environmental, and structural sensor data that we
already support — providing real-time asset intelligence that can
be combined with engineering data to advance infrastructure digital
twins.”
Worldsensing
A global IoT pioneer in connectivity solutions for geotechnical,
structural and environmental monitoring, Worldsensing has
integrated the Topcon AGM-1 GNSS receiver with its Thread X3
broadband product. The result is a new Accurate Positioning System
to monitor geohazards such as rock falls and landslides in pit
mines, rail embankments and other ground structures.
“This will empower industry professionals to proactively
identify potential risks of subsidence, heave, landslip, settlement
and undertake preventive measures,” Stilgoe said. “Mining
operations and the rail industry will greatly benefit from this
collaboration. Professionals in these fields can now access a
comprehensive monitoring solution that ensures the safety of their
operations while optimizing productivity, all at a much lower cost
than before.”
This integration marks a significant milestone in geohazard
monitoring technology, offering a connect-and-collect solution that
enables real-time detection and analysis of potential risks. By
leveraging GNSS technology as the core component, Topcon and
Worldsensing bring cost-effectiveness and efficiency to
ground-movements monitoring applications while reducing the initial
investment required for GNSS monitoring.
“This new offering aims to address the common challenges facing
IoT deployments today, namely access to end-to-end, scalable, and
flexible solutions,” said David Deprez, managing director of
Worldsensing. “We are facilitating IoT mass deployment for GNSS
monitoring in collaboration with leading technology providers in
the field. Customers will quickly recognize the value of this
game-changing offer.”
Available for commercial use in the United States, Canada,
Australia, and EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa), the solution
will expand its reach to South and Latin America.
