Maptek Founder named Innovation Hero22/06/2010 |
| Maptek founder and chairman Dr Bob Johnson was recently named as an Innovation Hero by Sydney University's Warren Centre for Advanced Engineering. Bob has pioneered and commercialised technology that has significantly benefited the mining, engineering and surveying industries. |
Maptek product technology focuses on analysing and modelling data from disparate sources to solve the problems that engineers, geologists and miners face every day.
'Vision - the art of seeing what does not exist - only comes to a reality by hard work and team effort,' said Bob after receiving the award, which was presented at the Innovation Lecture in Adelaide last week.
Professor Mike Dureau, Executive Director of the Warren Centre commented, 'The recipients of the Award possess a unique vision and drive to see their products commercialised to the benefit of local and international industries.'

3D Scanning of Historic Sugar Factories |
|
The Alliance for Integrated Spatial Technologies at the University of South Florida, USA, recently worked with the Florida Park Service on a project to document the remains of several historic sugar-mill sites in the State Parks to create as-builts to be used in preservation and conservation of these resources. The FARO LS 880, along with GPS and total station georeferencing and colour imaging, was used on these projects.
