How Images can Help SurveyorsCompanies can generate new & more diverse types of projects

Allows companies to provide clients w/ deliverables above & beyond the scope of work

With imaging Surveyors now have the ability to collect survey data, capture still images, panoramic images, and stream video which in turn enhances field productivity while surveying.

Efficiently document features that were surveyed by overlaying data captured onto still or panoramic images

Video allows you to operate, aim, and control the instrument remotely. Making your crew more productive, safe, and extends the range of the field crew

Allows for creation of accurate points from images in the office

Take Robotic Surveying to the next level w/ Imaging

Improve Productivity• Live Video image allows you to see &

measure from the data controller• Ensure all data is collected the first time• No duplicate shots or missed areas• Complete reflectorless shots while your there

Save Money• No more rework• No duplicate shots or missed areas• Point and measure on the display

Improve Accuracies• Capture the scene as documentation• Correct target verification• Visualize your BS Checks

New Workflows for Field Crews

Save Time & Money

Save Time & MoneyCost of a Fire Hydrant

• 1 Hour Drive there• 1 hour setup and measure time• 1 hour drive back

• $135/hour X 3 hours = $405.00

• BUT• Your crew has lost that same

amount of time that they would have been on another site

• 6 hours = $810.00

• Over the course of a year• 1 a month = $9,720/ year
