Malaga – 22 November 2023. Aplitop joins forces with Soltec, a vertically integrated company dedicated to photovoltaic projects with solar trackers, to develop an application dedicated to improving the efficiency of earthwork tasks in photovoltaic solar energy installations.

This collaboration between the two companies represents a bridge between two key sectors: surveying and solar energy.

The main purpose of the alliance is to present to the market an innovative application that has been designed as a CAD plugin, to facilitate and make more efficient the planning and reduction of earthworks operations, quantity take-off, and relocation of solar trackers in photovoltaic plants. In essence, this tool seeks to simplify the tasks involved in the design and maintenance of solar energy installations, which leads to savings in time and resources.

This new application, known as "TcpMDT Photovoltaic Powered by Soltec" has several features, including:

●     Terrain analysis: Performs a detailed analysis of the slopes and orientations of the terrain, which is essential for the accurate planning of photovoltaic installations.

●     Installation design: It facilitates the creation of efficient and optimal designs for photovoltaic plants, establishing criteria by zones and allowing different models of solar trackers to be combined.

●     Calculation and optimization: Provides tools to calculate, resolve issues and optimize projects, ensuring efficient use of space.

●     Results: Generates a complete set of reports, maps, and 3D models that provide key data to facilitate project decision-making and facilitate on-site work.

Francisco Navarrete, CEO of Aplitop, said: "Aplitop is committed to the innovation and the application of new technologies to sectors with great growth potential, such as solar energy. Soltec's extensive experience and knowledge has allowed us to create software that offers answers to real problems and achieves significant cost savings. We are delighted to offer this collaborative solution to our international distributors."

Raúl Morales, CEO of Soltec, said: "At Soltec we understand profitability as a key lever for photovoltaic deployment. Cost savings and leaps in operational efficiency are part of our commitment to developers as an integrated enterprise. We are excited to take another step in that direction with Aplitop to continue offering the market solutions that simplify, save and boost complicated development and installation tasks such as earthmoving."

As for the availability of the application, TcpMDT Photovoltaic Powered by Soltec is available through Aplitop's international network of distributors.

On 26 September 2023, APLITOP collaborated with ZWSOFT to show the ecosystem of applications over ZWCAD 2024.

The webinar was attended by about 100 people from different countries around the world and was a great success for the APLITOP and ZWCAD teams.

Our app ecosystem (#AplitopEcosystem) is composed by TcpGPS, TcpMDT and Tcp PointCloud Editor. In combination with ZWCAD, it provides a complete solution for all kind of surveying and civil engineering projects.

The workflow consists of three stages:

1️⃣ Reality capture. TcpGPS allows connection with GNSS receivers of different brands and collects data quickly and easily. Meanwhile, other tools facilitate the calculation of total station observations, and the management of massive data based on point clouds from 3D scanners or drones.

2️⃣ Data processing and mapping. The data is imported in TcpMDT Standard on ZWCAD, automatically generating the digital terrain model, profiles and project cartography. In addition, the ability to visualize dense point clouds in ZWCAD 2024 allows comparison with LiDAR data of the working area. This can be complemented with information measured from fixed or SLAM scanners and edited by Tcp PointCloud Editor.

3️⃣ Project design and stakeout. Once the data from different sources are processed, TcpMDT Professional on ZWCAD facilitates the design of the final solution for terrain and infrastructure. It also generates plans, 3D models, quantity take-off reports, and more, which can be exported to GIS, BIM, and other formats. Finally, the resulting project is loaded into TcpGPS and staked out in the field for the start of the works.

About ZWSOFT:

ZWSOFT is a pioneering engineering software company based in Guangzhou, China. The company is committed to facilitating efficient and cost-effective product design and manufacturing through its flagship 3D software product, ZW3D. ZWSOFT also stands out for its proprietary CAD/CAE/CAM technologies that facilitate intelligent manufacturing.
