SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble
(NASDAQ: TRMB) announced today the addition of a geotechnical
portfolio to its geospatial automated monitoring portfolio through
a collaboration with Worldsensing, a wireless connectivity
technology provider and an industry-leading manufacturer of
geotechnical IoT monitoring systems. The collaboration enables
survey, geotechnical and structural engineers to seamlessly expand
their monitoring business opportunities with a comprehensive
solution that incorporates geotechnical and geospatial
data.
Data from a variety of geotechnical and geospatial sensors—from
tiltmeters, piezometers and crack gauges to GNSS receivers and
total stations—combined with wireless communication and robust
software create powerful monitoring solutions. This provides
unparalleled movement analysis to monitor transportation
infrastructure, buildings, structures, dams, mines as well as
landslides and natural hazards.
The Trimble-branded geotechnical product line, powered by
Worldsensing, provides a fully automated wireless monitoring
solution that helps minimize field visits and increases safety by
reducing the need to obtain manual readouts. The automated
measurements generate real-time notifications and reporting through
the new Trimble® 4D Control™ software (T4D) Geotechnical
Edition software, which enables users to streamline monitoring
system deployment as well as simplify the connection to
geotechnical sensors.
The Trimble geotechnical portfolio includes:
- Wireless geotechnical sensors: Tiltmeter and laser-tilt
sensors, providing tilt and distance measurement readings directly
to the gateway
- Wireless data loggers: Vibrating wire, and digital and
analog data loggers, supporting connections with a wide range of
geotechnical digital and analog sensors communicating information
to the gateway
- Gateway: Rugged Long Range (LoRA) radio and 4G gateway,
enabling communication with the wireless geotechnical sensors and
data loggers to connect the project site with the office through a
cellular or local network
- Configuration software: A mobile application for data
logger configuration and a web user interface for network and
device management connected to the office via T4D software
- Accessories: Installation accessories for a variety of
mounting and configuration environments
By expanding Trimble's geospatial portfolio to include
geotechnical IoT solutions, monitoring professionals can have
access to both product lines from a single provider. This provides
the flexibility to choose the optimal system to comprehensively
monitor construction projects, mine, dam sites and other critical
assets with the T4D software.
"Our monitoring customers work with geotechnical sensors to
automate movement detection for critical infrastructure and mining
projects on a daily basis," said Boris
Skopljak, marketing director of Monitoring and Tunneling for
Trimble Geospatial. "Through our collaboration with Worldsensing,
we are making it easier for them to access the full range of
geospatial and geotechnical solutions from a single source,
resulting in faster and easier deployment and the opportunity to
address a wider range of projects."
"Thanks to this collaboration, service providers can work with a
powerful combination of geospatial and geotechnical IoT-based
monitoring technologies," said Matthieu
Laville, director of Sales at Worldsensing. "They can now
merge geospatial and geotechnical tools to easily collect and
access sensitive and reliable data to automate their operational
tasks, reduce technical complexity and diminish risks across
mining, construction and rail projects."
Availability
The solution is expected to be available through Trimble's
global Geospatial distribution channel in July 2021 via dedicated monitoring professionals,
providing local sales, installation, training and technical
support. For more information, visit:
