3Dazer laser measuring device works with a user's smartphone or iPad. The 3Dazer Laser Distance Measuring Solution and App syncs the measurements from the laser to the app. Users can organize projects, create floor plans, label pictures taken on-site, put voice memos on pictures taken on-site, add the measurements taken from the laser to photos, keep client contact information, manage projects and more.
Kogniz AICam artificial intelligence surveillance camera identifies people and threats in real time using video-based facial recognition and object detection. Kogniz instantly identifies people of concern, such as a known criminal or ex-employee and alerts the business when that person is identified. Kogniz identifies and remembers suspicious behaviors, allowing it to track visit patterns, dwell time and other attributes that can help to identify patterns of suspicious behavior. Kogniz stores relevant video in a private and secure cloud vault that can be accessed from anywhere.
Trimble® TSC7 Controller field solution for land and civil construction provides a tablet experience with a physical keyboard and a sunlight readable 7-inch touchscreen that supports pinch, tap and slide gestures. Users can zoom, pan and select items on the large touchscreen. Front- and rear-facing cameras allow users to video conference their office from the field for on-the-job support and capture high definition videos and images that provide valuable context to their data and clients. Trimble also released two new rover systems for civil engineering and construction applications—the Trimble Siteworks Positioning System for Construction Surveyors and the Trimble Siteworks Positioning System for Supervisors, featuring Trimble Siteworks Software that has configurable views, colorful graphics and natural interactions and gestures.
