Trimble releases updated monitoring software

Trimble released the latest version of its Trimble 4D Control monitoring software, version 4.5, that supports the IBIS-FM radar device, which is manufactured by the GeoRadar Division of Ingegneria Dei Sistemi.

According to the company, the IBIS-FM radar device continuously scans in all weather conditions and detects movements with sub-millimeter accuracy for distances up to almost 2.5 miles. The addition of the IBIS-FM support in Trimble 4D Control software 4.5 can trigger early warning detection of slope instability to improve worker safety, the company adds.

“With the integrated support for the IBIS-FM radar device, we continue to demonstrate our commitment to improving safety for mining personnel,” says Shawn Hilliard, business area director of Trimble’s Monitoring Solution. “As we continue to add support for third-party sensors to our monitoring solutions, we are enabling our customers to better detect, automate and analyze information with a variety of tools to improve the safety and management of monitoring operations.”

The opportunities in radar technology play a significant role in effective project safety management in monitoring operations, the company reports. Trimble 4D Control version 4.5 is now available from Trimble’s Infrastructure Distribution Network.

Trimble applies technology to make workers more productive. Its solutions are focused on applications requiring positioning or location, including surveying, construction, agriculture, fleet and asset management, public safety and mapping.
