Synopsis:

In todays world, technology advances so quickly through all business modules, causing both excitement and apprehension. This is indeed relevant in our spatial industry with the past 10 years seeing a snowball of new measurement devices and software readily available to the spatial professional. It may seem, at times, hard to keep up, as well as to understand how to apply these technologies into your current business. Also as a company decision maker, it is important to understand how all these advancements and cost reductions can be integrated into your practice to bring in new business, advance efficiency of current workflows and keep up with the market trends.

I would like to discuss briefly two areas of development often seen as too bigger hurdle for companies to enter market segments. These are point clouds and automatic monitoring systems for deformation. Point clouds are here, scanner, UAV and Mobile Mapping pricing is coming down, total stations are providing quality point clouds and many packages across, many scopes are utilising these datasets. As a spatial business it is important to understand how this market trend can help grow your business and what great deliverables point clouds can offer your clients.

Especially relevant in Christchurch is the utilisation of automated monitoring systems providing comprehensive datasets, real time alerts and much more.

I will be discussing some setup configurations, management and output of these systems so you can quote jobs accordingly and hopefully offer a point of difference for your business.

Look forward to discussing some interesting projects and how we can help tackle them with the latest products and experienced team to ultimately grow your business.
