April 23, 2007 - Trimble (NASDAQ:TRMB) today announced the introduction of Trimble® SCS900 Site Controller Software Tablet Edition. Using Trimble site positioning total station or Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, the Trimble SCS900 Tablet Edition simplifies construction operations, increases efficiency in the field, and minimizes downtime.
 
The announcement was made today at the BAUMA 2007 International Trade Fair, the worlds largest construction equipment exposition.

The Trimble SCS900 Tablet Edition combines the easy-to-use data management system of existing Trimble SCS900 software with the graphics capabilities and processing power of a tablet PC. It extends the use of Trimble site positioning systems to construction jobsite supervisors, foremen and project managers who coordinate activities from a vehicle, and the software offers the following benefits:

• View, review, and edit designs from a vehicle provides easy access to the same digital design data that field crews are using.
• Real-time cut and fill display allows the supervisor to drive the site, measuring ground elevation and monitoring current cut/fill depths.
• Tools for side slope staking, computing volumes, and grade checking enables the supervisor to conduct site prep and checking activities from inside the vehicle.
• A simple and easy daily set-up of base station puts control of the GPS system in the hands of the supervisor.

It is designed for use on the jobsite with the Trimble site positioning system product family, featuring the Trimble SPS780 and SPS880 Smart GPS Antennas and the Trimble SPS750 and SPS850 Modular GPS Receivers. It also supports the Trimble ATS Construction Total Station and the Trimble 5600 Total Station.

The SCS900 Tablet Edition is available as a software product supplied on CD in U.S. and British English only at this time.
