Field stories, product updates, and what's on the bench — one short email per week. No spam.
RTK that connects, reports you can verify, and a new face on the team.
It's been longer than a week since Issue #02 — fair to call that out. Equipment sales have been strong, and every new kit out the door means real training time with the crew running it. On top of that, we're deep in prep for Breakbulk Americas (Sept 22–23, Houston, Booth M01) — including a new Convoy Guardian we want to unveil there, and a shot at bringing a working prototype of a new 360° LiDAR clearance scanner (more on that below, in On the Bench). All of it worth the wait. Here's what shipped: ProfilingPRO gets RTK, auto-discovery, and bathymetry. MeasurePRO auto-connects. RoadScope ships signed, verifiable reports. Plus the SolTecONE beta, SweptPRO's drone module, and a new face on the team.
From Field to Office in Real-Time.
MeasurePRO v16.1.102 closes the loop between the truck and the desk. The moment the field crew creates a survey, it appears on the planner's RoadScope map — no manual export, no waiting for a USB stick, no "send me the file when you get back." Inside this issue: the v16.1.102 RoadScope Sync workflow (Local Only, New Map, or attach to an Existing Map), how the office sees POIs land on the right route in real time, the Route Intelligence paywall going live for foreign POI detail, POI Discovery from external sources, the self-healing Field App PWA, and a preview of "Ask the Data" — the natural-language query engine that's next on the bench.
17,000 POIs. 4,700 km. 6.5 days. One crew.
The Thacker Pass dual-lane survey just wrapped. A single SolTec crew captured 530 bridges, 3,631 culverts, and 299 intersections across the full 4,700 km corridor — 720 km of survey-grade data per day, every day. Inside this issue: the Field Capture App that just shipped for pilot-car crews, ProfilingPRO graduating to beta after 2,500 km of field validation, where SweptPRO and LoadPRO are in the build — and how Convoy Guardian kept the whole convoy in sync without a single bar of cell signal.
