Emerging Technology Field Day

Tuesday, October 4 | 9 AM – 4 PM EDT | Little River Golf & Resort, Carthage, NC

Join us on October 4 for a full-day of in-person demos, training and discussions on the latest emerging technologies for surveyors, asset managers, law enforcement and more. This event is happening at Little River Golf & Resort just outside of Pinehurst, NC and attendees will see cutting-edge tech like LiDAR drones, Trimble forensics equipment, mobile mapping hardware, the new X12 from Trimble and relevant software in action.

There will be things to do and see throughout the event, including live demos, hands-on training and presentations, as well as opportunities to speak with our experts 1:1 about the challenges your business faces. While we have a lot of exciting things planned, we understand if you’re unable to stay for the entire event, so feel free to plan your day by what’s most interesting to you!

A light breakfast and BBQ lunch will be served, and refreshments will be available throughout the day. Space is limited and registration is required, so we encourage you to reserve your spot now!  

Agenda:

Explore our agenda below, including what topics will be presented and what tech will be available to demo! 

  • 9 – 10 AM Welcome Breakfast: Join our experts and representatives from various manufacturers including Trimble, Quantum-Systems and Geo-SLAM for coffee and doughnuts, live product demos in an informal setting and a chance to try out some tools for yourself
  • 10 – 11:50 AM Morning Breakout Sessions:
    • 10 – 10:30 AM Forensics Workflow: Join Calvin, our Forensics expert and former State Trooper, for a look at how integrating the Trimble X7 scanner, R4sLE GNSS Receiver and small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (sUAV’s) can be used in the field.
    • 10:40 – 11:10 AM Mobile Mapping Field Demonstration: Chris, our mobile mapping expert, will demo the Trimble MX9 system, including setup and operation. Attendees will be able to experience real-time data collection from the vehicle and command center tent.
    • 11:20 – 11:50 AM Drone Flight Demonstration: Miles, our drone expert, will demo Quantum-Systems’ Trinity F90+ with Qube 240 LiDAR payload showing attendees what the takeoff and landing process is like and its large area LiDAR mapping capabilities.
  • 12 – 1 PM Lunch: Gather together for a casual buffet lunch
  • 1 – 3:20 PM Afternoon Breakout Sessions:
    • 1 – 1:40 PM Mobile Mapping Data Post-Processing: Using data collected at the site, attendees will see mobile mapping trajectory processing in POSPac MMS, and scan generation and initial post-processing in Trimble Business Center.
    • 1:50 – 2:30 PM Forensics Mapping with Drones: This presentation will cover our testing of sUAV forensic mapping methodologies that are commonly used by law enforcement agencies and some of the most critical accuracy problems. We’ll show how to avoid these mistakes and correctly produce a processed point cloud and orthomosaic photograph.
    • 2:40 – 3:20 PM Review Collected Drone Data: In this presentation we’ll review data collected by the Trinity F90+ on site while sharing best practices for collecting LiDAR data with this device.
