Point Taken Podcast by Trimble

Get to know Brad Keselowski from RFK Racing as we ask him about everything from his pre-race rituals, to racing and business advice, to which data points he's most interested in to help his team get across the finish line first.

In this episode we're joined by Eric Krantz, director of engineering for high precision GNSS at Trimble. We take a deep dive into the hardware and engineering that power modern GNSS systems. Eric talks about what goes on inside a GNSS receiver and how radio signals from space are transformed into millimeter-accurate positioning on earth. Whether you are a seasoned surveyor, a construction professi...

Host Michael Dix sits down with Aimee Shirk, who manages the product team for Trimble's mobile computing devices. They dive into the engineering, design philosophy and practical applications of Trimble's rugged survey controllers.

In this episode, host Michael Dix sits down with Esri's Doug Morgenthaler, product engineering lead and Jeff Shaner, product engineering director for field apps. Doug and Jeff dive into the current landscape of field data collection and share where the technology is heading next including Esri's approach to AI, and the need for both data-driven and boots-on-the-ground customer research. They also...

In this episode, host Michael Dix sits down with Mr. Heng Teck Thai to explore how Singapore is pioneering the future of construction technology and digital delivery. Mr. Heng Teck Thai serves as Deputy Chief Executive Officer at the Building and Construction Authority (BCA), bringing over 20 years of experience across the public and private sectors. His diverse career spans roles at the Singapore...

Reality capture is changing fast. Alex Okscin, reality capture product manager at Trimble, joins us again to share his take on how AI is shifting the industry from manual processing to automated insights. Alex explains how machine learning helps users train custom classes to find objects within point clouds and why historical 3D data provides value even long after a building is constructed. The co...

Join us as we dive into the world of reality capture with Alex Okscin, product manager at Trimble. Discover how this technology, which started with 3D laser scanning, now encompasses many sensors and workflows to bridge the gap between the physical and digital worlds. Alex explains the key technologies involved, the importance of minimizing communication errors, and the practical steps in a succes...

Stuart Riley, vice president of GNSS technology at Trimble, discusses the rigorous testing and engineering developments at Trimble. He provides a current state overview of the GNSS industry, covering the major global and regional systems, and introduces new developments around commercial constellations. 0:00 - Intro 1:21 - The current state of GNSS constellations 2:14 - The rise of private GNSS co...

Trimble product manager Keeley Shea joins us to dive deep into the atmospheric layers and solar storms and their impact on precise positioning. We explore the 11-year solar cycle, what happens during peak activity (like solar flares and geomagnetic storms), and how these phenomena, especially ionospheric scintillation, can cause issues with GNSS performance. We also cover how Trimble technology an...

Michael Dix from Trimble gives an introduction to the Point Taken Podcast and the range of guests and topics that will be featured.
