Lessons from INTERGEO 2015

INTERGEO is the world’s leading conference trade fair for geodesy, geoinformation and land management. This year it was held in Stuttgart, Germany between the 15th and the 17th of September and hosted over 16 000 visitors from 92 countries and over 500 exhibitors.

INTERGEO is an ideal opportunity for learning what is happening in the geospatial industry internationally from attendee’s key takeaways. This year’s key takeaways are listed below.

• That GNSS receiver technology is becoming much better value for money with the higher availability of cm accurate data.
• BIM is being adopted into GIS processes and the industry is working to progress it further in the future.
• UAVs are emerging as the way of the future – keep an eye on this space for exciting and new products.

Speaking of exciting and new products, Trimble took advantage of their substantial presence at INTERGEO to launch some exciting, new products of their own.

			Trimble R2 GNSS receiver The Trimble R2 is a versatile GNSS receiver that provides a flexible and easy-to-use solution for Survey and GIS professionals who require accurate positioning information for their workflows. Read more.
			Trimble Data Link 2.4 GHz Radio The TDL2.4 Radio provides a wireless connection to a controller (without internal radio) via a Bluetooth connection and connects to the Trimble Total station through the Trimble typical 2.4 GHz connection. Read more.
			Trimble ZX5 Multirotor UAS The ZX5 is durable, easy to set up and ideal for mapping smaller spaces and obstructed environments. Data captured by the ZX5 can be imported into Trimble Business Center Photogrammetry Module. Read more.
			Trimble EdgewiseTrimble EdgeWise is powerful 3D Laser Scanning software that rapidly extracts features from point clouds and produces intelligent models with industry standard dimensions. Read more.
			Trimble Remote Sensing Suite The Trimble Remote Sensing Suite addresses the needs of professionals generating high quality data, models and analytics from satellite based imagery. Read more.
			Trimble Community The Trimble Community is a place where customers can access rich Trimble content. The purpose of this community is to create, share, and deploy content; drive conversation and collaboration. Read more.

Ronald Bisio, General Manager Geospatial Trimble, was an expert speaker at INTERGEO and after the press conference spoke with INTERGEO TV about data capture and more importantly making that data useful. Watch the full conversation in the video below.
