Trimble Geospatial Podcast

We found some footage last week of a historic moment, when the X9 interviewed for the new position in our #scanning portfolio. Before the interview, the X9 graduated at the top of its class at prestigious testing campuses, including Jena, Paris and Westminster, pulling countless all-nighters and studying for endless hours. Out of all the qualified candidates we interviewed, the X9 was the clear choice. Welcome to the team, Trimble X9.

What is a digital twin? Gregor Willhauck from Trimble share his definition on the MapScaping podcast, and talk about why the real-time element is so important.

Curious about creating custom reports for your survey data? Listen to how's it's done in Trimble Business Center. This is an except from TBC Power Hour. 

We're excited to reshare a MapScaping Podcast episode called, "Digital twins – not just a buzzword" with Trimble's own Geospatial Cloud Strategist Gregor Willhauck. He shares his perspective on digital twins: what they are, what they aren't and how they're integrated in geospatial projects. The MapScaping Podcast is hosted by Daniel O'Donohue.

Listen to 5 surveyors share how they got into surveying - ranging from the Army to following in their family's footsteps and even switching over from engineering while in school (classic!). This segment is from Geoholics Podcast episode 132, and the surveyors are: Tyler Lapointe, Austin Maxwell, Nik Schlosser, Anissa Williston and Tate Childers.

In this TBC Recap session, we'll replay one of our most popular TBC webinars that demonstrates how to take total station and GNSS site data from the field into TBC, reduce into a usable digital form, and create digital and print deliverables.

Please note this is a recording of a webinar that originally included a visual presentation.

Learn best practices and recommendations on how to tackle a first big scanning project (more than 400 scans). Listeners will be taken through all the steps from the first demo to the final deliverables.

GNSS sensors are crucial for monitoring large scale projects and areas to detect movement over time to help stakeholders make informed decisions. In this session, Trimble experts Riley Smith and Daniela Koch cover the power of using GNSS data in T4D Control to monitor critical infrastructure and surfaces for deformation. Learn how to add GNSS sensors to Trimble 4D Control Web, configure real-time vs. post-processed GNSS engines, and efficiently analyze and report on the processed data.

It’s the best of times thanks to all sorts of instruments we have for surveying and construction. It is the worst of times because we need a solution to align all the data together. In this TBC Power Hour recording, Richard Hassler and Joe Blecha teach you how TBC integrates scanning data and conventional surveying data, delivering consistent results.  

If you ever wondered why your point cloud doesn’t match with the ground control points, why it’s meters off from the supposed position, or how to transfer data in between different scanning software packages, listen and find answers in the episode.  

Listeners will learn: 

-The root cause of the misalignment between scanning data and surveying data 

- Scale Factors 

-The unique TBC solution of solving the misalignment 

-How to properly georeference a terrestrial scan data into the correct projection 

-How to integrate UAS data with an SX10 project 

-The export configurations to transfer the point cloud to other application packages

This session covers the basic components and workflows in making your total station a monitoring system. It also covers the process of connecting your total station to Trimble 4D Control using the Settop M1 communication device. Trimble experts provide best practices and share some real world experiences and challenges.

The TBC team and Dr. Dru Smith - the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) Modernization Manager from the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) - discuss NGS’ 2022 datum modernization efforts. In this webinar recording, Dr. Smith covers why this change is happening and the impacts it will have on surveying workflows. They also cover how you and your team can prepare, showcase resources and tools that are and will be available, and how Trimble and the TBC team can help with the transition.  If you do survey or construction work in the US (or are curious about what the NGS is up to), you’ll want to listen!  

Listeners will learn: 

-  Why the modernization is occurring. 

-  What and how datums, geoids, and transformations will be impacted by the modernization efforts. 

-  What tools NGS is developing and modifying for the modernization. 

-  The latest status updates from NGS.   

-  How Trimble hardware and software teams are approaching these changes.
