100,000th Total Station

SOUTH Survey celebrates reaching the milestone of 100,000 units rolling out of the factury. This will be celebrated in SOUTH's Beijing factory (China). This number is significant as according to SOUTH, it is bigger than the total volume of imported total-stations since 1970 and doubles the total volume of all other China-made total-stations ever.


China's first total-station, the NTS-202 was released in 1995 for the Chinese market, followed in 2002 by the NTS-322 total-station which was equivalent to the international level. The year 2004 was important as SOUTH reached the first place in the Chinese market, surpassing imported brands and it captured five key total-station technologies. China's first Windows-based total-station NTS962 was launched in 2006. New innovations were launched in 2008 with the total-station NTS-362R. Last year, SOUTH achieved a production of 25,000 units, this year increasing to 35,000 units.
