投资Leica GS18 I以提供市场领先的解决方案

在家族拥有的VA Gruppen AB，成功的一部分是学习新技术，并不断投资创新的工具，以向客户提供市场领先的解决方案。他们最近对LeicaGS18 I，具有视觉定位的多功能GNSS RTK漫游车已经证明了这一原则，并对测量速度，捕获的数据和工作流程过程产生了积极影响。

VA Gruppen’s success: expertise, dedicated staff and latest technology

VA Gruppen AB is a leading family-owned company with a high level of expertise in construction work and designing, building and maintaining water utility facilities. They complete their own surveying in-house for projects like digging pipes, finding that it saves costs and is more efficient for them and their customers.

“We discovered that it is more flexible when we have our own surveyors and can prioritise jobs instead of waiting for a surveyor from an external company,” explains Martin Holmqvist, Head of Measurement at VA Gruppen.

他们总部位于瑞典特雷尔堡，目前雇用约170名员工。他们敬业和细节的员工在公司的成功中起着重要作用。

另一个因素是VA Gruppen致力于学习新技术并不断投资创新工具，这将使他们能够为客户提供市场领先的解决方案。为了完成他们的调查任务，他们使用Leica Nova MS60MultiStation, theLeica Aibot无人机解决方案和GS18 I.

The integration of the versatile GS18 I into their survey equipment toolkit has made a big difference in the daily work of employees like Oliver Vingren, who works as a Measurement Engineer at VA Gruppen.

“There are projects where I have been able to halve the time thanks to the possibilities of Visual Positioning,” confirms Vingren.

用图像进行衡量提供了扩展的机会

就像GS18 I一样，Vingren对VA Gruppen来说是相对较新的。他在2020年春季完成了调查工程师培训，其中包括他使用Leica Geosystems设备的实习。Vingren享有测量行业的许多方面，包括在现场和办公室工作，以及使用GS18 I等工具的机会，这些工具使捕获的测量数据变得更加容易，更全面。

GS18 I的视觉定位技术是通过相机，GNSS和IMU的组合来完成的，使测量师都可以用倾斜的杆子进行测量并从图像中进行测量。这两个功能极大地扩大了测量难以或危险的点的潜力。在...的帮助下Leica Captivate领域的年代oftware, Vingren can measure points taken from recorded images directly in the field.

Simply put, the Leica GS18 I gives Vingren the opportunity to measure exactly what he sees. Attaching the GS18 I to a surveying pole and pairing it with theLeica CS20controller running Captivate, Vingren forms an effective one-man army on his measurement missions.

“The opportunity to capture and measure the site with Visual Positioning provides several important advantages. It is fast to capture an area with images and easy to measure points that are obstructed. In terms of safety, I can eliminate all climbs into trenches. If the camera’s line of sight reaches the point, there is no reason for me to go there,” Vingren says.

Holmqvist expands on these benefits: “With the data from the GS18 I, we are able to later measure pipes that are already buried. It is also good to be able to walk along a pipe trench and provide images of the slope edge to the customer. It creates a better experience and is more efficient for the surveyor."

无缝软件和云解决方案增加了更多好处

On cold, rainy, three-degree January days when Vingren needs to survey a site, he is grateful for the quick, comprehensive measurement capabilities of the GS18 I that get him back to the warm office, ready to review his data – data which is richer than in the past.

In the office, he switches from Captivate toLeica Infinity, which allows him to measure points or further process the data and create a point cloud.

“In the point cloud, there is an incredible amount of information, which leads us to another advantage of the GS18 I,” explains Vingren. “如果我需要进行音量计算，挑选特定的坐标或其他内容，则不需要出去进行新的测量。”

Leica Geosystems’ cloud solutions also enable Vingren to visualise, validate and share captured data with his collaborators and stakeholders.

“我需要的所有信息都可以从现有材料中提取，如果我需要与同事共享任何信息，我可以通过Leica Conx。我们获得所有信息的速度越快，我们可以为客户解决任务的速度，” Vingren concludes.
