TRIMBLE
The QML800 Quick Mark Lay-
out system criss-crosses two laser
beams onto the fl oor to mark inte-
rior points based on plans stored
on an Android tablet. Everything is
controlled from the tablet, which
can be used to load new
plans or add points on the
fl y. Trimble says the system
is accurate within 1/8 of an
inch over across the entire
fl oor being laid out.
In testing Trimble found
that the system reduces
labor hours by 56 percent.
Trimble put the system to
the test by asking one crew
to lay out 225 points with
the QML800 and another with the traditional method. The crew with the QML800 fi nished the job in two hours while the other
crew was only able to lay out 64 points. Beyond that, the crew without the QML800 made 5 errors while the crew with it made
none. The QML system allows crews to see whether all of the points will fi t within a given fl oor from the beginning because it
measures from the plans rather than from point to point.
