Trimble launch Mobile Mapping System MX8




The Trimble MX8 Mobile Spatial Imaging System is an advanced mobile data capture system that combines imaging and laser scanning capabilities to measure objects in 3D to produce 3D, 4D and 5D data sets for spatial imaging projects. Expanding the scope of services that surveyors, engineers, mapping and geospatial professionals can offer to enhance their business, the system is ideal for as-built modeling, inventory, inspection, encroachment analysis, and asset management for roadways, bridges, railway, utilities, and other infrastructure.

Fast and Accurate Spatial Data

Integrating imaging and laser scanning with advanced Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) plus Inertial positioning, the Trimble MX8 collects 3D data fast and accurately. Featuring a pod-type design, it is easily redeployed and installed on a variety of vehicles as project demands change. A scalable system configuration and sensor upgrade options allow owners to address their evolving needs.

Affordable Change Detection

Operating at highway speeds, the Trimble MX8 allows users to capture more frequent updates of 3D datasets for roadway and right-of-way infrastructure. Combined with Trimble Trident Analyst for Spatial Imaging software, automated extraction of road signs, road geometry, break lines and lane markings reduces manual labor and provides answers earlier in the project. Change detection between current and past datasets allows monitoring of project progress throughout the plan, design, build and maintain phases.

Rapid Return on Investment

Mobile imaging and laser scanning systems create immense datasets that can quickly overwhelm manual workflows. Advanced software automation allows users to better leverage their existing workforce and pursue new business opportunities while realizing reduced total cost of ownership. Automated feature extraction allows service companies and organizations to create more value for their customers and end users by delivering answers instead of data.
