RJD Green Inc.’s ioSoft Systems division on Feb. 12 announced that it has received an engagement with Rail Pro Services, a regional industrial products distributor, to upgrade operations software to an “industry specific operations platform.”

ioSoft management stated that services include essential technologies development and support, and network management services.

Vincent Valentine, ioSoft Chief Technology Officer, stated, “Some of the many benefits for the active small-cap company includes:

• Freeing up internal resources.
• Cost reductions.
• Outside business guidance for increased profitability through technology application.
• Expedited projects.
• Scalability.

“We feel these efforts will create significant enhancements for Rail Pro,” added Valentine.

Trimble on Feb. 12 announced the introduction of its Trimble® MX90 mobile mapping system.

With state-of-the-art Trimble GNSS and inertial technology, when combined with Trimble field and office software, the company says the Trimble MX90 “provides a complete field-to-finish mobile mapping solution that enables powerful workflows for data capture, processing and analysis.”

According to Trimble, the vehicle- or train-mounted MX90 rapidly captures highly detailed laser scans and imagery—both panoramic and multi-angle. “This rich, immersive data, captured at highway speeds, can be rapidly processed to extract a wide range of meaningful deliverables for feature detection, inspection tasks and more,” the company said.

“High-resolution immersive imagery, high-density colorized point clouds with accurate color projections and scene inspection capabilities enable new workflows, such as automatic crack detection,” according to Trimble. In urban environments or along rail tracks, you can zoom in and easily see small details on street signs, railway signals, and other asset or as-built features. In open areas and large cities, more detail can be captured on distant objects, such as electrical or fiber poles.

Highlights of the Trimble MX90 System include:

• “Immersive 360-degree panoramic and targeted cameras to capture high-resolution imagery of details, such as small or distant road and rail signs, telecommunications towers, or cracks and holes in roads.
• “High-density colorized point clouds with rich and accurate color projections, through the collection of more pixels. Very dense point clouds, together with high-resolution imagery (panoramic and planar) and accurate trajectories provide the basis for a wide range of deliverables, such as street scenes, road and rail asset details, elevation models, volume calculations, 3D city models and as-built surveys.
• “High-end IMU, combined with the IN-Fusion+ data processing technology to achieve high-quality data in challenging GNSS environments.
• “Reliable office software solutions to support multiple use cases and applications, such as road inspection workflows and integration into cloud-based applications for efficient data sharing.
