For efficiency improvement, Mr. Saita clarified, “Topo survey has been done by a crew with two or three people.
However, the LN-100 enables us to do this with only one person. This is achieved by very high prism tracking ability and immediate re-locking functionality, after losing the prism lock, to resume measurement.
Measuring work can be very speedily carried out. The work that formerly took 10 days with two people can be completed within five days and by only one person. Work efficiency is improved by four times over!
The lightweight outfit is also favorable since no communication device such as walky-talky is necessary.”
They found work process management could also be improved.
“With the LN-100, measurement can be so speedily done and just one person can make measurement at any convenient time. This will make work schedule management more flexible. Especially, this should be helpful in bad weather season to adjust the work process,” he said.

In closing, Mr. Saita said, “The LN-100 is an ideal measuring instrument to improve our jobs and we are going to add more instruments. We have proven its efficiency for topo survey so far. For next step, we would try to apply the LN-100 also to the stakeout phase since the navigation screen for the stakeout looks simple to use and we expect a good performance as well.
“Since other construction companies in the neighborhood have become aware of our company’s efficiency improvement with the LN-100, we are often asked about its usability. We tell them our experience as described here and some companies followed us and have already started using it,” he said.
This attitude indicates his appreciation of the LN-100.
