SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble
(NASDAQ:TRMB) announced today the Trimble® SitePulse™
System, an affordable and easy-to-use Site Positioning System
designed for superintendents, foremen and field engineers on heavy
civil construction sites. Instead of using paper plans, the new
SitePulse System empowers field managers with the same 3D
constructible model and digital information that construction
surveyors, grade checkers and machine operators' use. This can
result in improved communication, less rework and better
decision-making.
By connecting more people on the jobsite, communications between
the field and office can be improved and up-to-date information can
be shared wirelessly. Using the Trimble SitePulse software with the
new Trimble SPS585 GNSS Smart Antenna, field managers can take
photographs that are tagged with GNSS position, date and time to
create an audit trail of day-to-day activities, and provide
thorough documentation of work completed over the course of the
entire job for invoicing and payments. In addition, SitePulse
allows superintendents and foremen to ensure work is on schedule
and validate work quality without waiting for an internal or
contract surveyor.
"Trimble now gives supervisors the ability to access the same
digital model their field crews use, at a lower price point and
with less complexity," said Elwyn
McLachlan, business area director for Trimble Site
Positioning Systems. "With up-to-the-minute data, field managers
can make more informed decisions, more quickly, and also provide
better documentation for audit purposes."
An Easy, Affordable and Flexible Site Positioning
Solution
With a simple, easy-to-use interface, Trimble SitePulse field
software is ideal for construction managers who do not have a
surveying background. The software runs on either the Trimble Site
Tablet or any third-party Android tablet, giving contractors the
flexibility to choose the hardware platform that best fits their
needs and budget.
The new Trimble SPS585 GNSS Smart Antenna is a versatile,
compact and budget-friendly receiver that can be moved quickly from
a truck to a range pole using a built-in magnetic mount. The SPS585
can access multi-constellation GNSS satellites and provides typical
positioning accuracy of 10-centimeters (0.33 foot) using Trimble
RTX–based services, which stream GNSS corrections via satellite to
the receiver without the need for a traditional base station.
The Trimble SitePulse System leverages Trimble Connected
Site® technology, including VRS® networks,
Internet Base Station Service (IBSS) and wireless data sync to
provide efficient system configuration and streamlined workflows.
Trimble Connected Site solutions transform the construction
industry by utilizing technology to increase efficiency, improve
productivity and reduce rework.
