Topcon Positioning Systems has purchased Digital Construction Works (DCW), a construction software and data integrations and services company.

“DCW enables the connection of the job site and the office,” said Jason Hallett, VP and general manager, DCW, in a statement. “Automation and the availability of integrated and aggregated data provide greater insights into project performance and status.

“Now, as part of Topcon, our integrations platform enhances the value of Topcon’s interoperability with third-party software typically used to execute machine-guided operations. This saves users time and money by automating report generation and eliminating manual data entry across a multi-vendor and multi-stakeholder project environment.”

The DCW team continues to focus on integrations that connect a project’s planning and design phase with the construction and field completion phases. This office-to-site connection provides automated workflows and insightful visualization and reporting within a secure user-facing integration platform.

“Bringing the DCW team to Topcon absolutely increases the value of our existing solutions,” said Murray Lodge, EVP and general manager, Topcon, in a statement. “For decades, Topcon has combined multiple sensors and technologies to increase efficiency and simplify heavy equipment operations across multiple manufacturers. Now, we expand that value proposition to include automating data exchanges with design and planning tools and software typically used on construction projects, as well as integrations with popular software utilized by contractors for managing assets, people and materials.”
