Data stuck in software silos has limited value. And having staff manually extract data from multiple sources from the field and office to try and make sense of it all wastes precious time and money.<\/p>\n

But now, Topcon is taking the complication out of connecting data with its acquisition of Digital Construction Works (DCW), a construction software <\/a>and data integrations and services company.<\/p>\n

In an announcement at a ConExpo-Con\/Agg<\/a> media preview day, Topcon said DCW\u2019s services and software integration platform will help customers navigate and maximize the use of construction data made available across multiple apps and software.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t just skip over from design to build because after you design, you go to the dirt. Those systems have to connect,\u201d said Mark Cantino, vice president, North American retail distribution. \u201cWe connect with the right players because every contractor that wants to be different can be. They can pick the tools for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

By understanding data generated from every phase of the project, construction business owners can make better-informed business decisions. Automating the transfer of that data helps owners get to those decisions faster.<\/p>\n

Now, with DCW as part of Topcon, the integration platform enhances the value of Topcon\u2019s interoperability with third-party software typically used to execute machine-guided operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cDigital models and CAD designs have to be translated into something the machine can operate. You\u2019re dealing with what I need to do, what I\u2019m going to do as far as the model goes, and then you can start to automate that machine. Now, all of a sudden this machine is becoming part of your operation,\u201d said Jason Hallett, vice president and general manager, DCW. \u201cEvery one of those handovers today is fairly manual. The integration platform will automate a lot of those exchanges with third parties.\u201d<\/p>\n

The DCW team will continue to focus on integrations that connect a project\u2019s planning and design phase with the construction and field completion phases, Topcon says. This office-to-site connection provides automated workflows and insightful visualization and reporting within a secure user-facing multi-vendor and multi-stakeholder project environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of a sudden you\u2019ll get to a point where the tasks and the models and everything just flow from the data points that they\u2019re connected to, and there\u2019s no more of this manual import\/export and transfer of data. It\u2019s all automated through the platform,\u201d said Hallett.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
