Let’s talk about Hardware.
This is how 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗚𝗣𝗧 describes the development of hardware over the last 30 years:

What is the situation at VMT? What requirements do our customers and we place on the devices that are used underground every day?
Features such as
- repairability,
- self-analysis, and
- open interfaces
contribute to the sustainability of our hardware. Regular updates ensure the future viability of the components. Naturally, the robust devices have been specifically developed for underground use, drawing on years of tunnelling experience. In the development of our devices, we focus on
- resource-saving use
- sustainable spare parts management
- future-orientated development
In addition to our in-house developments, such as control cabinets, sensors, consoles, and system cables, we source other components from selected suppliers with whom we liaise closely to offer our customers fully compatible, high-quality complete solutions.
In summary, hardware components play a decisive role in the world of surveying and navigation in tunnelling. With the right hardware, innovative ideas become sustainable solutions: 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲.
