Reimagining Field + Office

At WestLat we spend a lot of time thinking about “what’s next?” Terrestrial measurement, ruggedized computing, GNSS, SBAS, and RTK are nothing new and have rapidly converged toward the consumer market with broad availability.

So how, as a WestLat partner in the field, can you stand out? We see several trends:

  1. 3D modeling and efficient data collection will keep you price-competitive. With more power than ever sitting in your DSLR, consumer drones, and smart phone, it’s time to look at overhauling traditional tools.

  2. Cloud-based applications support paying for only what you need, when you need it.

  3. Specialized desktop-grade computers for field work are no longer required. With companies like Microsurvey leveraging Android, we have now entered a friendlier, lower-cost environment with a wide array of low cost computing options.

Partnering with WestLat keeps you competitive and fresh in the market, ensuring you won’t over-invest your hard-earned capital by drawing in flexible technology and services that are a custom-fit for your project.
