Can your total station find a target deep in the trees? Watch as we put the trusted Leica TS16 and the new AI-powered Leica TS20 to the test in a real-world challenge: locating a prism obscured by dense foliage.
In this demonstration, the TS16 struggles to detect the prism, even after multiple attempts and manual aiming. Enter the TS20, equipped with AI-powered target search and automatic target recognition (ATR) technology. Despite the prism being nearly invisible to the camera due to leaves, the TS20’s power search feature quickly locks on and confidently measures the distance.
See how the TS20’s cutting-edge AI and ATR capabilities overcome the limitations of older instruments, delivering reliable results in the toughest conditions.
Upgrade your workflow and never miss a target again.
