The Secret Reason Why You're 40% Less Productive Than Your Surveying Competitors - And What To Do About It

There's a secret to compiling nearly perfect measurements in very little time.

Every successful surveying company knows the secret, but many companies...well, they're clueless. Whipping through survey job after survey job, without hiring any extra staff - it's a kind of mystique that leaves you feeling like you've been left in the dust again by the Roadrunner.


Not any more.

Today I'm going to share with you that secret. The secret to banging out more than 400 points per day has less to do with being experienced or putting more men on the job - but it does depend on having one sneaky tool that weighs about as much as the average household cat...a robotic total station.

Sounds too easy, doesn't it?




But a robotic total station is exactly what your competitors are using that lets them churn out points for survey projects in 40% less time, while still maintaining superb measurement accuracy.

Here's why.

One-Person Measurement

Robotic total stations have a remote control unit that allows you to operate the total station from the prism. The remote controller sits on top of the prism pole and uses Bluetooth technology to wirelessly connect your data controller to the total station. The surveyor can then control the total station using the data collector, all while standing at the prism pole. This means a surveyor can perform all the measurements they want completely by themselves! No need wait for a second worker to allow them to move from location to location. They can go work on a different project. Double the work, half the time - and you can guess how happy the guys with the red pens up in accounting will be.


Super Fast Setup

Robotic Total Stations use something called auto-pointing, which allows the total station to automatically find the prism. It works with the help of the remote control unit, which emits an invisible laser beam that's picked up by the total station. The total station rotates around until it picks up the exact location of the beam and instantly turns in the direction of the prism.



Instead of having to readjust the prism more times than a bald man adjusts his toupee, the surveyor just rough aims, presses the measurement key, and the total station instantly locates the prism's center. It's that easy.

Auto-Tracking

Sometimes surveying can get a little tricky. Take that business of walking to a new location with the prism, while trying to stay in the total station’s line of sight. That’s fine if a surveyor is walking across a field, but how many times has a surveyor had to maneuver around ponds, construction debris or large pieces of equipment?

Thought so. A robotic total station bypasses all of that with a little feature called auto-tracking. Using a built-in sensor and Bluetooth, a robotic total station can rotate and follow the direction of a moving prism. And if for some reason the total station does lose track of the prism, simply press the trigger key, and the total station will automatically re-establish a connection.

This advanced technology allows the surveyor to focus on getting to where he needs to be quickly and safely, which is good for everyone.

Fast and Accurate Distance Measurement

You know that in order to get a job done right, you need to use the right tools for the job. But it can require a lot of juggling when each job requires a different survey instrument. The robotic total station makes taking precise and accurate measurements simple and fast by offering you a variety of measurement options.

Don't need robotic mode? Turn it off, and choose reflectorless mode or use reflector tape, reflector sheet, single or triple prism or the 360-degree prism specially designed for the robotic total station. No more switching around from tool to tool wasting valuable time.

State of the Art Software

The most expensive advanced survey tool is useless if the software that supports it isn't full- featured. Standard total stations are great for smaller project, but most don't offer the full software functionality of a robotic total station. With robotic total stations, you can use the optional software to create Auto-CAD drawings of an existing pedestrian stairway for example and all you have to do is measure the left and right sides of the stairway and link the points together with a line.


Don't keep worrying about project timelines, employee salaries or whatever else is stopping you from getting the job done quickly and easily. If you're serious about building your company into an industry leader, the solution is actually pretty simple. Invest in a robotic total station, and watch your company flourish.
