Trimble Introduces Integrated 'Toolbox' for Land Surveyors

February 14 – Trimble set a new industry standard with the introduction of its "Trimble Toolbox'' for land survey. The new Trimble Toolbox is the most advanced and integrated set of surveying tools available from one company. It is a revolutionary step in changing the way land survey, civil engineering and construction professionals use information technology to enhance productivity and stay competitive. The Trimble Toolbox unifies the traditional world of conventional surveying instruments with the new world of GPS through one common-information solution.

The unified survey product portfolio of the Trimble Toolbox is a compatible set of tools built with the latest technology and designed to streamline and automate the surveyor's workflow. The Toolbox provides the surveyor with total flexibility to choose just the right tools for the job. It includes all the elements of the total solution including a variety of field survey systems, field survey controllers and office software. From robotic and mechanical total stations to real-time kinematic GPS systems to precise leveling systems, everything a surveyor needs for any project-from concept to completion-is available from a single source: Trimble.

The unified Trimble brand now includes innovations from Geodimeter, Zeiss Geodetic Systems and Trimble. The Trimble Toolbox field survey systems include the 3300, 3600 and 5600 Total Station series for mechanical to robotic surveying; and for GPS surveying, the new GPS Total Station 5700 system.

The new Trimble Toolbox makes Integrated Surveying easier and more productive by allowing the surveyor or civil engineer to switch between conventional and GPS instruments with "plug and play'' simplicity through the use of a universal survey controller. The survey data, whether GPS- or terrestrial-based, can now be automatically correlated and combined into a single database. Back in the office the survey controller interfaces directly to the office software for processing the field data into over 50 design, CAD and GIS, and survey format.
