With the field-proven Trimble ProPoint GNSS engine on board, users can measure points in challenging environments, such as under tree canopy or near buildings, while Trimble EVEREST Plus technology can identify and remove unwanted multipath signals for improved accuracy and data confidence. Using the Trimble Maxwell 7 chipset technology, the receiver provides fast processing, anti-spoofing capability and the ability to track all available GNSS constellations. This results in higher satellite availability for robust positioning in a wider range of environments.

The R580 supports Trimble RTX correction services for RTK-level precision without the use of a local base station or VRS network wherever correction sources are available, saving time and money through faster field operation and simpler workflows. The receiver can be paired with all current mobile devices on a variety of operating systems and platforms—from a Trimble handheld or controller to a modern smartphone or tablet. It can also be mounted on a pole, vehicle or backpack.

Together with software, such as Trimble Access and Trimble TerraFlex field software, the Trimble R580 makes it easy to collect and communicate information as part of a professional-grade field-to-office workflow.

“The Trimble R580 is a go-to solution for dependable survey-level accuracy in the field,” said Chris Trevillian, director of product management, Trimble Geospatial. “As the latest Trimble receiver that boosts productivity thanks to Trimble ProPoint technology, the R580’s advanced technology provides access to survey-precise positioning for challenging GNSS environments.

Traditionally, design and construction stakeholders have relied on 2D documentation or complex CAD imagery to coordinate project tasks remotely, using project management tools like Procore to ease the burden of organizing various materials. However as a project or issue becomes more complex, simple documentation can become limiting, resulting in project inaccuracies or misunderstandings between stakeholders that lead to rework or costly delays.

With this latest enhancement, team members can now transition seamlessly between their Procore project management workspace and the Matterport digital twin of a site, centralizing record-keeping, and enabling better progress tracking, quality control, and more efficient closeout processes.

“Since Matterport took its first steps into the industry, it became evident that our solutions share a common mission: to improve the lives of everyone in construction,” said Kris Lengieza, vice president of global partnerships and alliances at Procore. “As the construction industry continues to adopt digital-first tools, Matterport’s integration into the Procore Platform provides the visual site context teams need to help resolve issues quickly and keep projects on time.”

Matterport uses a combination of artificial intelligence and lidar-enhanced 3D cameras to transform physical buildings and spaces into photorealistic “digital twins”. These easy to navigate 3D spaces provide design and construction specialists the visual clarity to collaborate confidently when working remotely, reducing the need for site visits that add costly overhead. Combined with detailed point cloud data generated per scan, Matterport digital twins can reduce site survey and BIM creation costs as much as 70%¹.

“In industries as hands-on as construction, Matterport provides unprecedented accessibility to stakeholders, empowering anyone to virtually step on site at any stage in a project,” said Jay Remley, chief revenue officer, Matterport. “This expanded integration is the latest step in merging the immersive experience of Matterport digital twins with the project management efficiency of Procore. As partners, we’re providing design and construction professionals everywhere with the tools they need to finish projects faster, with fewer on-site resources.”

Matterport is available today in the Procore App Marketplace for all supported regions.
