Leica Ico Build.
Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon, has unveiled its new Leica iCON trades solution. With integrated Leica iCON iCS20 and iCS50 sensors and industry-tailored construction layout workflows, the new solution forms part of Leica’s iCON build portfolio. The new solution brings industrial precision measurement technology to construction sites, as we move towards a more software-defined and artificial intelligence (AI)-powered future in the industry.
Prioritising improved ease of use, the Leica vPole allows users to move freely during the measurement process. The solution integrates with iCON iCS50 with its specially developed dot and stripe patterns on the sphere and pole, allowing for the automatic detection of the pole height and tilt. According to the developers, these features aim to improve the chances of an error-free layout of points and lines in even the most inaccessible areas.
“Quicker measurements and layout, reduced waste and rework, and increased efficiency are game changers in construction. Leica iCON trades will catalyse layout automation and speed up workflows without compromising on precision and accuracy,” said Agata Fischer, President of Building Field Solutions at Hexagon’s Geosystems division.
The new solution also brings 6 degrees of freedom (6DoF) technology to the construction industry, improving industrial measurement workflows. Additionally, efficiency and usability levels will also be enhanced.
With the iCON’s computational photography, the system provides improved imagery and photorealistic site documentation. By utilising AI technology, the solution predicts where the user will take the pole to improve the target lock and tracking to speed up process times and increase layout efficiency.
“Change is a reality in the construction industry, and we are shaping it,” added Thomas Harring, President at Hexagon’s Geosystems division. “Reimagining construction layout means unveiling our most ambitious and significant product line-up of established digital layout solutions and brand-new high-accuracy 6DoF tracking and positioning technology. Get in touch with our experts at upcoming exhibitions or to schedule a demo. With Hexagon, construction layout is teamwork.”
