Cloud platform designed to streamline data management, visualisation and collaboration.


Trimble has launched a new Reality Capture platform service designed to enable more effective collaboration and secure sharing of massive reality capture datasets captured with 3D laser scanning, mobile mapping and uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) systems.

One of the key aims is to make reality capture data accessible to more project stakeholders to support better informed decisions.

The Trimble Reality Capture platform service is available as an extension to Trimble Connect, the cloud-based common data environment (CDE) and collaboration platform.

The service handles point clouds and 360-degree imagery and works with terrestrial laser scanners like the Trimble MX series and Trimble X9, as well as data from third-party hardware

The Trimble Reality Capture platform service is integrated with Microsoft Azure Data Lake Storage and Azure Synapse Analytics with a view to reducing the time it takes to ingest, store and process massive datasets.

“The new Trimble Reality Capture platform service enables our workforce to more easily access data and collaborate between the jobsite and office, creating additional efficiencies across our operations,” said Christopher Pynn, digital leader at Laing O’Rourke for Eastern Freeway – Burke to Tram Alliance. “Having a single place for designers, engineers and other stakeholders to review and inspect project data is a real leap forward.”

“This new service applies cloud technology in a new way for large data packages, allowing users to significantly scale performance and maximise data value,” said Boris Skopljak, vice president, geospatial at Trimble.

“Anyone can now benefit from accessing complicated reality capture data through a simple web interface, making it easier than ever to leverage geospatial information to drive better outcomes at every step of the design-build-operate lifecycle. With this launch, we are a step closer to realising living digital twins and artificial intelligence applications at scale.”

“Utilising the power and multilayered, built-in security controls of Microsoft Azure in combination with Trimble’s reality capture capabilities transforms scanning workflows to reduce point cloud analysis time from hours to minutes,” said Wangui McKelvey, general manager, Azure data analytics at Microsoft.
