Trimble X9 is a high-performance 3D laser scanning system and a proud Gold Winner at the 2024 NY Design Awards. It is specially engineered to transform field survey workflows, making them easier, more flexible, and far more productive than ever before. A standout benefit of this system is its exceptional operational flexibility, giving users the freedom to control tasks wirelessly via a smartphone, tablet, or through a simple one-button workflow directly on the device. It features an intelligent smart auto-calibration and survey-grade self-leveling system that significantly minimizes time spent in the field and reduces human error. Additionally, its high-sensitivity EDM technology allows operators to effortlessly capture dark or highly reflective surfaces with speed and precision. When combined with powerful field software, the system easily processes and automatically registers scan data, allowing for seamless quality validation right at the project site.
