    New localisation solutions improve safety in civil engineering

    Leica Geosystems, the precision equipment manufacturer based in the St.GallenBodenseeArea, has presented new localisation solutions for the civil engineering sector. According to a press release, employees of civil engineering companies will be able to use the new devices to better locate existing infrastructure supply lines and thus prevent accidents. This new solution from Leica Geosystems consists of the Leica DD300 CONNECT intelligent locating device and the Leica DA300 signalling device. The user-friendly solution enables professionals to carry out accurate, reliable and in-depth underground surveys and gain on-site insights into the underground network, according to the press release. The devices offer a frequency bandwidth for object detection in the spectrum from 33 to 131 kilohertz. The frequency of 83 kilohertz is particularly suitable for detecting objects at greater distances. The system can be integrated into the Leica DX Shield software.

    “Our product range extends from simple entry-level devices to sophisticated, fully equipped high-end locating devices,” said Federico Bertolucci, Product Manager for Locating Systems in the Geosystems division at Leica parent company Hexagon, in the press release. “The new Leica DD300 is characterised by unrivalled versatility, enabling a wide range of users to safely locate and bypass underground utilities. This adaptability significantly increases both productivity and safety at different levels of user expertise.”

    Leica Geosystems and John Deere cooperate on large construction sites

    Precision instrument manufacturer Leica Geosystems and construction equipment manufacturer John Deere from the US state of Illinois have signed a strategic agreement for the digital transformation of major construction projects. According to a press release, Leica Geosystems’ positioning and sensor technology will be integrated into John Deere’s construction equipment and systems. Both companies hope that this collaboration will increase production on large construction projects. At the same time, material consumption and logistics times inherent in the process are to be reduced.

    “We are excited to partner with John Deere, a company that shares a similar culture and commitment to innovation, quality and customer satisfaction,” said Troy Dahlin, Vice President Heavy Construction, US/CAN at Leica Geosystems, in the press release. “Together, we will achieve new levels of accuracy and productivity and accelerate the implementation of safe and sustainable workflows in the construction industry. This will help our customers compete in today’s competitive market and improve their resilience for the future.” The John Deere construction machines equipped with Leica software will be available later this year, according to the press release from the St.GallenBodenseeArea-based company.

    “The collaboration with Leica Geosystems is a great opportunity because the company’s advanced technology solutions, coupled with the power and performance of John Deere construction equipment, enable our customers to have a highly productive, efficient and seamless jobsite,” said Mark Colvin, Senior Product Manager, Grade Management at John Deere.
