Trimble and Worldsensing announced a new solution for long-term 3D ground and structural movement monitoring. This solution combines Trimble 4D Control (T4D) monitoring software with the new Trimble GNSS Meter, powered by Worldsensing. Aimed at the mining, construction and infrastructure industries, the solution seeks to reduce risks related to land and structural instability through quicker and more cost-effective deployment for diverse project types.
This announcement comes ahead of INTERGEO in Stuttgart, Germany, and MINExpo in Las Vegas. The new monitoring solution will connect a GNSS Meter, utilizing real-time kinematic technology, with Trimble T4D monitoring software to convert data into actionable insights automatically. The GNSS Meter enables precise and automated measurement of 3D surface movements once positioned on-site, subsequently transmitting the movement data to T4D for real-time analysis. If data exceeds preset thresholds, the system will notify stakeholders automatically.
“Our collaboration with Trimble enables us to provide the geospatial market with an innovative solution that leverages IoT connectivity for precise, autonomous ground movement monitoring in land surveying, offering significant cost savings over traditional methods,” said Andrea Bartoli, chief technology officer of Barcelona-based Worldsensing. “This is a fit-for-purpose solution that simplifies deployment and reduces costs,” said Riley Smith, strategic marketing director, monitoring, mining and tunneling at Westminster-based Trimble. “It will be easier than ever for our customers in the mining, construction and infrastructure industries to meet a greater range of project requirements needing widespread sensor deployment across challenging environments.”
The solution is expected to be available through the Trimble global geospatial distribution channel in the first quarter of 2025.
