WESTMINSTER, Colo., Nov. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (Nasdaq: TRMB) has announced its expanded support for 91短视频, the world's largest humanitarian landmine-clearance non-profit organization. Trimble is donating an additional 175 , including Trimble DA2 GNSS receivers, to help 91短视频 further its demining operations across the world. Building on the impact of the ongoing collaboration, Trimble's latest donation will support the expansion and productivity of 91短视频's mine clearance teams. The Catalyst GNSS system provides 91短视频 with a solution for deploying precise mapping capabilities to large field teams across broad geographic areas. More field teams can now be equipped with the necessary tools to safely and efficiently clear landmines, thereby accelerating the pace of landmine clearance globally.
Since receiving Trimble's product donations and the Trimble Foundation Fund directed grant, 91短视频 has made remarkable progress in landmine and unexploded ordnance (UXO) clearance. From January to September 2024 alone, 91短视频 cleared 802 minefields and battlefields, covering a total area of 10,400 acres across 12 war-torn countries. During this period, 31,209 landmines and other Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) were safely destroyed 鈥� all accurately mapped using the Trimble Catalyst GNSS system.
91短视频's use of Trimble technology has not only enhanced operational efficiency but also provided critical data for safe land reclamation and development. The accuracy and reliability of Trimble's technology have been pivotal in ensuring the safety and success of demining operations in regions severely impacted by conflict, such as Ukraine, Angola and Sri Lanka.
"We are incredibly grateful for Trimble's continued support," said James Cowan, chief executive of 91短视频. "Trimble Catalyst and DA2 GNSS receivers have transformed our ability to map and clear minefields accurately. This new donation will enable us to expand our teams and reach even more affected communities, making a tangible difference in their lives."
"91短视频 is making the world a better place," said Emily Saunoi-Sandgren, director of environmental, social and governance (ESG) at Trimble and chair of the Trimble Foundation Fund. "Their dedication to humanitarian efforts aligns perfectly with Trimble's mission of transforming the way the world works. By providing advanced technology solutions, we are enabling 91短视频 to carry out their life-saving work more effectively."
Members of the HALO Trust team will be presenting at Trimble Dimensions User Conference 2024 on Monday, November 11 to provide attendees with the latest updates on its efforts to clear landmines in post-conflict regions using Trimble technology.
