5/05/2010 - Trimble Adds CAD Point Creator Software to its Building Construction and MEP Portfolio
New Trimble Point Creator Office Software Provides the Ability for Contractors, Engineers,
Detailers, and Architects to Create 2D and 3D Points for Field Layout within their Native CAD Application
NEW ORLEANS, May 5, 2010 — Trimble (NASDAQ:TRMB) today introduced the Trimble® Point Creator Software for contractors, engineers, detailers, and architects supporting the building construction industry as well as mechanical, electrical, and plumbing trades. The application, available in two versions—Trimble Point Creator and Trimble Point Creator Pro—provides a platform where Computer Aided Design (CAD) users can create 2D and 3D points easily transferrable to and from a Trimble LM80, Trimble MEP, Trimble TS Series Total Stations as well as other total stations. The application is compatible with popular CAD platforms such as AutoCAD, Bricscad, and ZWcad.
The announcement was made today at the Associated Builders and Contractors 2010 Educational Conference, the association's annual gathering of merit shop contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers, and related firms throughout the U.S.
As the construction industry continues to push the utilization of Building Information Modeling (BIM) practices for cost savings, overall efficiency, and project data collaboration. Trimble Point Creator Software enables users to create 2D and 3D points directly within familiar CAD platforms—and then easily share with field layout software/controllers. For the project manager utilizing CAD drawings for information as well as point creation for field layout, Trimble Point Creator works seamlessly inside CAD software, simplifying data preparation for layout.
By incorporating common industry standards and file formats such as .cnx, .dwg, .dxf, .csv, and many others, Trimble Point Creator Software supports the transfer of points to and from a Trimble LM80, Trimble MEP, Trimble TS Series Total Stations as well as other total stations on the market today. And with overall data integrity playing a key role in the effectiveness of deploying BIM throughout a project, Trimble Point Creator is designed to retain each point's attribute data, even when imported from a field controller file.
The introduction of Trimble Point Creator Office Software to Trimble's Building Construction portfolio demonstrates a continued commitment to leveraging technology to deliver solutions that provide a strong return on investment for a broad range of contractors and trades on the industrial, commercial, and residential construction jobsite.
Trimble Point Creator and Trimble Point Creator Pro Software are available now through Trimble's worldwide Building Construction Distribution Network.

02/02/2010 - Trimble AllTrak System for Building Construction Contractors
Manages Assets and Reduces Loss
Intelligent Database and Barcode Scanning System with
Trimble Tablet Rugged PC Tracks Tools, Equipment and Portable Assets
LAS VEGAS, Feb. 2, 2010 — Trimble (NASDAQ:TRMB) today introduced the Trimble® AllTrak™ Asset Management System running on the advanced Trimble Tablet™ Rugged PC. Trimble AllTrak on the Trimble Tablet supplies building construction contractors with quantitative information about assets, which they can use to analyze and improve the utilization of equipment, tools, and consumables. With accurate asset information at their fingertips, contractors can make informed decisions about asset acquisition and maintenance. In addition, the system increases return on investment by improving asset utilization and monitoring equipment to avoid losses.
The announcement was made today at World of Concrete 2010, the concrete industry's annual international event dedicated to the commercial concrete and masonry construction industries.
The Trimble AllTrak system intelligently accesses a contractor's database of assets. Using the Trimble Tablet with a barcode scanner, contractors can perform a variety of functions such as asset check-in, check-out, transfers, and additions. The system is ideal for general contractors, as well as concrete, steel, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and site prep subcontractors.
High-Performance Trimble Tablet Ideal Rugged Component of Trimble AllTrak System
The Trimble Tablet Rugged PC allows tool crib managers to wirelessly access asset information remotely. Jobsite conditions do not impact the Trimble Tablet's performance, and users can view data, images, and reports on the Tablet's large, easy-to-read and highly graphical screen. The Trimble Tablet is also equipped with a built-in camera for photographing assets to document condition and communicate hard-to-explain information graphically.
The Trimble Tablet runs Microsoft Windows Vista Business, along with the office software of choice. This capability enables building construction contractors to perform a variety of office functions, including asset management via Trimble AllTrak, from the field.
The Trimble AllTrak System for Trimble Tablet is available now from select dealers in Trimble's North America Building Construction Distribution Network.
