Laser Technology, Inc. Releases Log Deck Volume Solution

by Admin 15. February 2012 07:28

February 15, 2012 - Laser Technology, Inc. (LTI), a Colorado-based laser designer and manufacturer, announces the release of a Log Deck volume solution. This new software is a cost effective and easy solution to instantly generate the deck length and area as well as calculate the MBF for specified log species and diameters.

LTI understands that working with a mountain of inventory that is ever changing and often stacked with extreme narrow spaces between can be very difficult. Since convention measurement tools and methods are unable to combat these real-world problems efficiently, LTI has developed this much needed solution.

Log Deck software allows you to track "just in time" inventory as it comes in and out. Users can quickly get accurate and repeatable results simply by following the step-by-step instructions built into the software and using the helpful illustrations to guide you through the process. It offers 5 different survey methods that can adapt to the specific environment for each individual deck. These features also address the difficulty of working with uneven ground.

"We developed the Log Deck Volume software because it can streamline the inventory process and even make it safer for our customers. The results from our lasers and the software calculations is repeatable and will save a lot of time," says Steve Colburn, Laser Technology National Sales Director.

The software integrates with LTI’s Impulse/MapStar® System and TruPulse® lasers to collect the measurements. Since all LTI lasers are able to acquire measurements to any non-reflective surface, using LTI’s system eliminates the need to occupy the pile or even having to stand near it when making measurements. Users can now save time, reduce safety liabilities and increase productivity because it only requires one operator. Log Deck is also compatible with Allegro, Archer, BAP and other data collectors.

LTI is celebrating their 25th year of business and has been awarded 63 laser and compass-based patents worldwide. The Company is responsible for developing the first recreational rangefinder and the first reflectorless handheld total station. LTI’s engineering expertise has also successfully created a unique, handheld compass sensor that produces one degree azimuth accuracy without any pitch and roll limitations. This exclusive TruVector Compass Technology® is like nothing on the market and anyone has yet to match its reliability, repeatability and overall performance.

Laser Technology, Inc. Releases LaserGIS™ for ArcPad® Ver. 1.0.1 with a Quicker ROI & International Support:

by Admin 9. October 2011 07:27

Laser Technology, Inc. (LTI), a Colorado-based laser designer and manufacturer, announces the new LaserGIS version 1.0.1 for ArcPad®, a toolbar extension that greatly enhances the data collection workflow by making the process quicker and easier. The new LaserGIS version 1.0.1 is also available in German and French with a localization toolkit now being offered for other international markets.

All ArcPad® users have a huge advantage in receiving the quickest return on their investment because LaserGIS is built on ArcPad’s underlying structure. This simply equates to an extremely short learning curve because they do not need to invest a bunch of time and training on a completely new software program. LaserGIS simply streamlines the workflow when using an LTI TruPulse® measurement and mapping laser. The TruPulse 360 compass laser eliminates the need to occupy a feature’s location and it allows you to remotely measure heights, spans and elevation just by taking a few shots. LaserGIS expedites the process of storing the laser’s positioning and measurements right into ArcPad® with fewer steps and a clear understanding and control as to how you want to manage your data collection.

You can map in multiple objects from one location, with or without GPS, or do a traverse by occupying the location of your last shot. From syncing up your Bluetooth® connection to toggling specific laser preferences, the LaserGIS extension is extremely helpful and will make the entire data collection process easy. Version 1.0.1 also stores and displays additional raw data attributes for magnetic declination, target height and instrument height.

"New technology and software enhancements are great, but if it requires extensive training, the ROI never seems to come quick enough," says Steve Colburn, Laser Technology National Sales Director. "Some companies are hesitant in adopting anything new because it’s hard enough to capitalize on what they already invested in, so they are discouraged in trying something new. After ArcPad users witness how easy the transition is in using the LaserGIS extension, it will quickly become apparent as to how much time and energy can be saved when collecting field data."

One of the most time-saving features in LaserGIS is the ability to quickly map and measure the same type of targets that are all within your sight, such as utility poles or trees. You simply toggle on the auto-accept features and measurement button and just aim and shoot the laser. All the collected data is being automatically stored without ever touching the software. This upgraded version is free to all existing LaserGIS users.

ArcPad® users can visit www.lasertech.com/LaserGIS-for-ArcPad.aspx and download a free demo version of LaserGIS and watch a recorded tech session to learn the basics.

Laser Technology, Inc. Releases the TruSpeed S: The World's Smallest, Most Reliable and Affordable Laser Speed Measurement Device

by Admin 10. July 2011 07:26

July 10, 2011 - Laser Technology, Inc. (LTI) is announcing the release of another breakthrough product that is now the most compact and affordable laser speed enforcement device on the market. The all new TruSpeed S possesses state-of-the-art technology, has a rugged exterior and offers unmatched value for the price.

The TruSpeed S weighs less than a pound and has a binocular-style design. It's robust enough to handle extreme conditions and situations that police officers face on a daily basis. Every speed reading and menu option is displayed right inside the 7 power sighting scope, giving officers confidence in verifying a specific vehicle's speed without taking their eye off the target. The custom BlackMask LCD allows everything to be clearly seen under both dark and bright light conditions.

"Instantly deploy it, fire it and store it, aptly describes how the TruSpeed S is a simple point and shoot laser that fits in the palm of your hand and can be easily stowed almost anywhere," according to Eric Miller, President of Laser Technology, Inc. "The market demands equipment to be lighter, smaller and more affordable. Our engineers set the bar once again with the new TruSpeed S."

Laser precision targeting within heavy traffic is becoming more and more of a necessity, but historically lidar was too expensive for some departments. The TruSpeed S is being offered at a price comparable to less expensive technology and will allow more police departments the ability to leverage the advantages of LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging). Adopting this technology has been known to deter habitual speeders thereby reducing speed related crashes and fatalities.

LTI is celebrating their 25th year of business and have been awarded 63 laser-based patents worldwide. The Company is responsible for releasing the first commercial laser speed measurement device in the early nineties. All LTI laser speed measurement devices have its exclusive Accuracy Validation Firmware, which simply means they have and will always stand up in court.
