The Geosystems track is conveniently organized into four sub-tracks:
• Surveying & Infrastructure
With an extensive portfolio of solutions for surveying and infrastructure projects, customers will learn about the latest product developments and attend innovative presentations made by professionals using Leica Geosystems solutions. Hands-on training will be available using total stations, MultiStation and GNSS, and experts involved in product development and fellow users will be available for discussion.
• HDS/3D Laser Scanning
High Definition Surveying and 3D laser scanning by Leica Geosystems provides optimal workflows for converting point clouds of reality into final client deliverables. Measurement professionals and recipients and users of accurate spatial information alike benefit. Civil engineers, plant designers, CAD professionals, architects, contractors, forensic investigators, archaeologists and owner/operators can all profit from cost savings and added-value. Customers will experience demonstrations with ScanStations and much more.
• Geospatial Solutions
The market leader in geospatial mapping technology will showcase new developments and unique applications across the world’s most comprehensive portfolio of airborne, UAV and mobile mapping solutions. Complete workflows from sensors to solutions demonstrate state-of-the-art technologies in all steps from data capturing, post processing to information generation. Attendees will learn about the latest developments of tridicon’s automated 3D city modeling, experience UAV live demos with Aibot X6 and mobile mapping with a new Pegasus system, and see next product generation of airborne imaging sensors, topo-, shallow water and deep sea bathy LiDAR systems.
• Machine Control & Construction
Machine Control systems offer valuable material cost savings, on-site safety and high accuracy resulting in increased efficiency, higher productivity and lower fuel consumption.
