Leica Geosystems is pleased to announce Leica Nova and the revolutionary Leica Nova MS50 MultiStation. Leica Nova is a game-changing measurement solution designed to provide users with a complete and seamless workflow. It integrates advanced measurement technology, modern and intuitive field software, intelligent office software, and Leica Geosystems’ first class services to give users the ability to make faster, smarter decisions, across an unprecedented range of applications. The flagship of the new solution is the Leica Nova MS50 MultiStation, the world’s first MultiStation that combines scanning, total station, imaging and GNSS positioning in one instrument to deliver fast and reliable results.

Leica Nova is a revolutionary solution using advanced measuring technology that provides unchallenged accuracy and quality, yet is easy to use for an unprecedented range of applications. The Leica Nova solution covers the complete process from capturing and visualizing data, to creating intelligent deliverables that shape the world. Whether users measure objects on a construction site, quickly calculate volumes, monitor a dam or a bridge, capture an accident scene with digital imaging or scan a façade, Leica Nova perfectly integrates all these capabilities in one compact, flexible solution.

Leica Nova MS50 – the world’s first MultiStation for an unprecedented range of applications

For the first time, the Leica Nova MS50 combines every significant measuring technology in one device and opens the door to a fascinating new dimension of the geospatial world. All functions, including precision 3D scanning, extensive and precise total station capabilities, digital imagery and GNSS connectivity are now brought together in the world’s first MultiStation. The new mergeTEC technology fuses innovative hardware capabilities with comprehensive data management solutions. Images are synchronized with scans, and scans are tied into total station measurements, making it the easiest way to manage complex 3D data.

The Leica Nova MS50 integrates 3D point cloud measurements into regular survey workflows. Users can collect and visualize their topographic survey data with detailed high-precision scans. They save time by computing results and verifying the integrity and completeness of data immediately in the field, hence avoiding costly reworking or returns. Ultimately, users benefit from better decisions with richer and more detailed data.

High-precision sensors and an extensive advanced software portfolio

Also part of the innovative new Leica Nova solution are the Leica Nova TS50 high-precision total station and Nova TM50 monitoring station, as well as an extensive portfolio of software:

• With the new Leica Infinity software, users can seamlessly manage, visualize, process and georeference combined total station, imaging and scanning data from the Leica Nova MS50 MultiStation and other Leica Geosystems sensors.
• For AutoCAD users who have never before worked with rich point clouds or 3D datasets, the new Leica MultiWorx for AutoCAD plug-in software offers a simple way to integrate point cloud processing into existing workflows.
• Leica Cyclone and Leica GeoMoS as well as numerous other software packages from partners such as MicroSurvey and Listech can also be integrated into the workflow to meet specific needs.

Leica DISTO Sketch (available for iPhone & Android) lets you create simple sketches of objects or room layouts on a grid and then apply dimensions to them. Dimensions can also be added to new or existing photographs of the object you are measuring. You can also select a photo from the image gallery. Leica DISTO Sketch makes it easier to apply the measuring results after returning to your office.

Leica DISTO Transfer (available for Android only) establishes a connection to your Leica DISTO devices using a Bluetooth interface and allows you to transfer data for further processing. You can also remotely trigger measurements and/or transfer measurements from the Leica DISTO to the Clipboard. You can also transfer your measurements directly into an Excel file and can generate this file on the Android device itself or you can download and open any Excel file previously used on another computer beforehand.
