NEW TOPCON SOFTWARE AIMS FOR GREATER DIGITAL ADOPTION IN CONSTRUCTION

US-based technology company Topcon Positioning Systems has launched the Digital Layout, which aims to drive greater adoption of digital workflows in construction.

Topcon said that Digital Layout has a focus on ease of use. It hopes to encourage contractors who still rely on traditional methods to use the software to boost efficiency, accuracy and productivity.

The business is targeting general contractors, concrete contractors, mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) contractors, steel erectors, fire suppression companies and others with Digital Layout.

The software is designed to work in combination with a 3D laser – the Topcon LN – or a Topcon GT robotic total station, providing a step-by-step guide to streamline routines and workflows.

Ray Kerwin, director of global product planning for Topcon, said, “With today’s job site challenges, contractors need the best and easiest way to perform layout. Topcon provides that with this software dedicated to building construction applications."
