Masaya Takakuwa and Hitoshi Nakase, Engineering Department personnel, described the efficiency of using the LN-100.
“The most remarkable efficiency is that it enables one-person survey work. Holding a prism, the operator can make measurements by actually choosing and confirming the points, therefore, the measurement work can be speedily and very efficiently done. The saved time can be spent for the next project and the second person, formally needed, can carry out other tasks.
“Therefore, not only each individual work becomes more effective, but also, efficiency of the entire productivity at the site can be improved,” they said.
“Since the measurement can be done so instantly, the execution results can be checked more frequently which achieves better overall quality.”
The ordering company or organization also indicates favorable impressions.
“The control software, TopLayout, is well visualized and intuitive. This helps not only measuring and layout functions, but also, at attended inspections. The measured results can be shown to the inspector through easy to see and understand visual screens; therefore the inspection can be smoothly processed.”

Mr. Kitamura concluded, “We found the LN-100 greatly improves work efficiency at the site. Its operation is so easy that even older workers can master quickly. We would extend its use widely within our company so that every field representative can utilize it.”
