Reporter 80
President's Message
When a business digitises, it becomes more efficient in how it produces, shares and evaluates information. When it digitalises, though, it undergoes a transformation to become a connected ecosystem. This transformation through digitalisation is the focus for this edition of Reporter.
The heavy construction industry is finding efficiencies and productivity through the use of the global GNSS correction service, HxGN SmartNet. Heavy machine operators in Denmark share how the digitalisation of the industry is increasing their bottom line and making their work easier.
The Rail Division of Atkins, the design, engineering and project management consultancy, is not only connecting its business through digitalisation but also bringing more efficient public transportation to London on a major upgrade project to the rail infrastructure leading into and around the capital city. Using a combination of Geosystems measurement solutions, from GNSS to digital levelling, the company was able to provide quicker data visualisation and safer operations to the government entity responsible for the project.
The European gas infrastructure company providing the transport of natural and green gas in the Netherlands, Gasunie, found transformation through the integration of several Hexagon Geosystems technologies. Creating a connected ecosystem of customers and subcontractors, Gasunie made laser scanning data available directly from the field to the stakeholders through laser scanning, immersive software and remote access platforms.
Transformation through digitalisation is how business and industries advance. Connecting is how we ensure we remain relevant and aren’t left behind.
We’re committed to bridging the gap from digitisation to a digitalisation transformation. We vow to keep innovating to move ourselves and the industries we support forward.
