Topcon Positioning Systems, a global leader in precision positioning technology and solutions, has designed their innovations to allow building and civil infrastructure construction customers to form a tighter, more seamless workflow that will increase on-site worker productivity, enhance jobsite safety, and improve quality control.
Additionally, Topcon and Autodesk, Inc., leaders in cloud-based design and engineering software, previously announced they will collaborate to allow products within Autodesk’s leading design and construction software portfolio for BIM to more efficiently interact with the Topcon on-site field positioning hardware. This provides greater interoperability between Autodesk’s design solutions and Topcon field positioning hardware to connect workflows between the office and the field, utilizing robotic total stations for construction positioning. As an Autodesk authorized gold partner, CADsoft Consulting has the expertise to provide a complete solution and create job site efficiencies by helping contractors more easily connect BIM output to field based implementation. These efficiencies reduce contractor error and re-work while speeding-up the overall installation process.
“By selecting to partner with Topcon, CADsoft Consulting continues to expand our innovative and advanced technology offerings to meet customer needs,” said Lisa Duncan, principal of CADsoft Consulting. “Our customers are embracing BIM and have an immediate need to fit Topcon products into their BIM project workflows to increase job site and project accuracy. This can be quickly translated into real opportunities and business for our customers moving forward.”
