Trimble Business Center (TBC) is a powerful desktop software suite designed for land surveying, construction, and geospatial professionals. It provides a comprehensive set of tools for managing, processing, and analyzing geospatial data collected from Trimble and other GNSS devices, total stations, and drones. Below are the key details about TBC:
Core Capabilities
- Data Integration:
- Handles data from GNSS receivers, total stations, UAVs (drones), terrestrial laser scanners, and third-party devices.
- Supports industry-standard file formats like RINEX, DXF, DWG, SHP, and more.
- Survey Data Processing:
- Post-processes GNSS data for high-precision results.
- Combines data from multiple sources into a unified survey project.
- Supports network adjustments and least-squares computations for enhanced accuracy.
- CAD and Drafting Tools:
- Enables the creation and editing of 2D and 3D CAD drawings.
- Facilitates contour generation, surface modeling, and volume calculations.
- Includes customizable templates for plan sets and deliverables.
- Point Cloud Processing:
- Processes and visualizes point clouds from terrestrial scanners or UAVs.
- Offers tools for feature extraction, surface creation, and clash detection.
- UAV and Aerial Data:
- Processes aerial imagery to create orthomosaics, digital surface models (DSM), and digital terrain models (DTM).
- Generates deliverables such as 3D models and contour maps from drone-captured data.
- GIS and Asset Mapping:
