Reality Capture in Geospatial Surveying

In this week’s story , we cover how Severn has grown using the newest innovations, namely reality capture.

Here’s a sneak peek:

• Early Adoption: When others were still using tape measures, Severn was rocking Leica Pegasus and mapping the future. We call that being ahead of the curve (and the straight line).
• Partnership Power: Their collaboration with Leica Geosystems is so strong, we’re starting to wonder if they should swipe right on each other.
• Agility: With 3D laser scanning and mobile mapping, they’ve got more moves than a GPS recalculating your route.

But it’s not all business—they’ve also got a serious knack for safety and efficiency. They’re the type who’d measure twice and still save time on the job. Who knew surveying could be so cutting-edge?

If you’re ready to learn from the pros, check out the full story and see how Severn Partnership is setting the standard (and trust us, their standards are pretty precise).

The Industrial AI (R)evolution According to Honeywell

Is AI in the industrial sector a revolution or just an evolution??

It’s a question as tricky as deciding whether pineapple belongs on pizza.?

Honeywell’s latest “Industrial AI Insights ” report digs into this debate, and let's just say, they’re betting big on AI’s future—whether it’s turning the industrial world upside down or just giving it a major tune-up.

Highlights from their research:

• 82% of industrial AI leaders think they’re pioneers.
• 37% worry the C-suite doesn’t quite get AI, but almost all (94%) are confident that leadership is all in on AI.?
• Unplanned use cases are popping up like popcorn—91% of leaders have discovered new applications during implementation.?

And the challenges? Oh, they’re there. But then again, what’s innovation without a little chaos, right?

If you're wondering how to navigate this AI landscape without losing your (human) touch, our latest blog post, “Industrial AI: A Pivotal Moment ,” breaks it all down. From harnessing data to designing smarter infrastructure, we cover it all.

WHAT ELSE?

• AI is the best thing that’s happened to XR in a while. AI can be an intelligence backbone for XR , while XR can be the front-end graphical interface for AI. The two technologies complete each other in lots of ways.
• Altair, a global player in computational intelligence, and L&T Technology Services, a global digital engineering and R&D services company, have jointly announced the establishment of a digital twin center of excellence (CoE) to accelerate digital transformation.
• The Lenovo ThinkReality A3 glasses emerged as one of the first enterprise-grade sets of smart glasses designed to enhance work and collaboration on a massive scale. Take a closer look at these smart specs.
• The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has for the first time officially qualified a virtual reality-based training solution for aviation training. Developed and built by Loft Dynamics, the global leader in virtual reality flight simulation training devices (FSTDs), the simulator uses Varjo’s high-resolution virtual reality headsets to simulate a realistic training experience in an immersive environment.
• Jeh Aerospace and?GridRaster announced a strategic partnership to transform aerospace manufacturing through the integration of Spatial AI, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies.?
• ARtillery Intelligence’s recent report and AR Brief covers enterprise XR case studies . They discuss the opportunities and best practices for enterprises to implement XR and realize strong ROI.
• New technology is helping scientists to create 3D maps of tropical rainforests and gain a much clearer understanding of their volume, health and biodiversity. Creating “digital twins” provides new levels of data that can support more effective reforestation programs as well as produce an accurate record of the forest’s carbon storage potential.
