The partnership will leverage the strength of both companies to bring new technologies and services to construction professionals.
Combining the expertise of John Deere with Leica Geosystems’ capabilities in positioning and sensor technology will help the two work together on solutions that improve productivity, reduce material costs, and cut the number of passes required. This can also improve safety by minimizing traffic on construction sites.
