The companies say the product, designed for the mining, construction and infrastructure industries, minimises the risks associated with land and structure instability by enabling faster and more cost-effective deployment for a greater range of projects.

It connects a GNSS Meter, powered by Worldsensing, with Trimble T4D monitoring software to automatically transform data into actionable insights.

The GNSS Meter is a sensor featuring real-time kinematic (RTK) technology and the ability to process data directly on the device, providing precise and automated measurement of 3D surface movements once placed onsite. The sensors then transmit movement data to T4D for real-time analysis, automatically informing operators if it exceeds established thresholds.

“Our collaboration with Trimble enables us to provide the geospatial market with an innovative solution that leverages IoT connectivity for precise, autonomous ground movement monitoring in land surveying, offering significant cost savings over traditional methods,” said Andrea Bartoli, chief technology officer at Worldsensing.

Riley Smith, Trimble’s strategic marketing director, monitoring, mining and tunnelling, said the development simplified deployment and reduced costs.

“It will be easier than ever for our customers in the mining, construction and infrastructure industries to meet a greater range of project requirements needing widespread sensor deployment across challenging environments,” he said.
