Beyond the Science Project: Productizing the Future of Sensor Fusion
XYHT – Q&A with Peter Mardaleichvili and Lukas Meier, Fixposition When Fixposition showed its latest xFusion™ solutions at Equip Expo, Agritechnica, and INTERGEO, one theme came through clearly from OEMs and integrators: they are done with “science project” stacks. They want fusion that is robust, repeatable, and ready to ship. Fixposition says that is exactly what they are building: a productized...
The Trimble Line: Accuracy, Trust and the Future of Connected Work
For more than two decades, Trimble Applanix has shaped the practice of mobile mapping and survey-grade positioning in air, land and marine domains. Today, it sits at the center of Trimble’s broader move toward connected workflows, subscription-based performance, and end-to-end accuracy. Few people have watched that evolution more closely than Steve Woolven, who has overseen Trimble...
Precision or Nothing: The Millimeter-Level Future of Geomatics
By any measure, INTERGEO 2025 marks a turning point for Topcon. But for CEO Ivan Di Federico, the momentum behind this shift started well before the show floor opened. It began last November, when he outlined what would become Topcon 2.0—a reset of the company’s identity that re-centers geomatics as a foundational discipline and sets a...
GEO-MEASURE: Survey-Grade RTK Precision at a Consumer Price
Powering the next wave of accessible GNSS For decades, survey-grade GNSS rovers occupied the top tier of the market—tools of immense precision, relied upon by surveyors and engineers, but locked behind prohibitive costs, complex configurations, and subscription models that often strained the budgets of small firms, municipal teams, or independent operators. Parallel to this world,...
Workflow Innovations at Trimble Dimensions 2025
How a user-driven rethink of field–office connectivity, training, and cross-industry collaboration is changing the way surveyors, geospatial teams, and builders deliver work—on time, on spec, and at scale. Trimble Dimensions has never been a passive showcase. It has always been an event where surveyors, contractors, geospatial professionals, and engineers collide with technology and leave with...
Jack Dangermond’s Vision for the Future
The geospatial industry is moving through a period of profound transformation. Advances in reality capture, artificial intelligence, and cloud integration are converging with urgent global challenges, from climate resilience to urbanization. In this moment, few figures are as influential as Jack Dangermond, founder and CEO of Esri. For more than fifty years, he has guided...
