- Hilti adds interior layout solution that helps reduce the need for manpower intensive layout tasks

PLANO, Texas, July 23, 2020 — (PRNewswire) — Hilti North America, a commercial construction-focused technology, software and services company, has launched a suite of new tools, systems and accessories. The new lineup includes the PMD 200 jobsite layout solution, which shifts the boundary for productivity and allows faster work, with potentially less employees. Simultaneously, Hilti is bringing forth new solutions that help contractors further enable digital transformation and expand cordless flexibility on jobsites with the release of a "smart" diamond coring system, and an adaptable metalworking tool.   

PRECISION & SPEED TO COMPLETE JOBSITE LAYOUT  

The PMD 200 is an addition to Hilti's layout tool portfolio, designed specifically for North American interior jobsite layout applications. Powered by Hilti's 12V batteries, the tool bridges traditional and digital solutions and represents a powerful alternative to the time and labor-intensive methods used for layout today. It was designed to give customers the accuracy and productivity benefits of a digital solution without the added complexity of having to manage AutoCad data or change existing workflows. This new solution is easier to understand and therefore a virtually non-intrusive alternative to traditional jobsite layout methods.  

VERSATILE, CONNECTED, AND SMART DIAMOND CORE DRILLING SYSTEM

The diamond core drilling system DD 150-U now has enhancements to make diamond coring even easier. The core motor offers complete versatility to perform a wide variety of coring applications such as through penetrations and blind holes either handheld or rig mounted. The new digital display on the tool indicates the ideal amount of pressure required to core efficiently, guidance on what gear should be selected base on core bit diameter as well as a digital level enabling complete control of application and allowing operators to core more efficiently. You can also use the screen to view operation modes and time of tool usage. The tool has Bluetooth connectivity which pairs with our WMS 100 BLE water management system. This feature controls the WMS 100 BLE directly from the DD 150, and allows operators to manage the status of the water management system. You can connect the tool to our Hilti Connect App and download helpful data such as tool usage modes, gear selections, repair statistics, and user instructions.
