Accelerating infrastructure decision-making with AI feature extraction

From infrastructure modernization to climate resilience, geospatial insights are powering how infrastructure is designed, built, and maintained globally. As 2025 begins, geospatial data stands at the forefront of critical decision-making, empowering organizations to solve complex infrastructure and safety challenges. Here are the key trends shaping the geospatial industry and its broader implications.

  1. Faster and More Accessible Geospatial Technology
    Recent advancements in automated geospatial data extraction processes are revolutionizing how industries leverage Geospatial Information Systems (GIS). These technologies, powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), enable organizations to process massive datasets faster than ever before. This speed unlocks quicker insights and makes continuous asset monitoring a reality. In the transportation and utility sectors, automated extraction tools are streamlining infrastructure inspections, identifying potential failures earlier, and optimizing maintenance schedules. Automated geospatial extraction is poised to impact all industries that require accurate digital models and spatial insights where it can enhance infrastructure assessments, predictive maintenance, and the integration of precise geospatial data into digital construction models for improved project planning and lifecycle management.

Bringing Precision to the Field: How Trimble’s MX60 is Transforming Asset Data Capture and GIS Integration

Wednesday, November 27th, 2024

In a cozy, tucked-away corner at the bustling Trimble Dimensions Conference in Las Vegas, I sat down with Karl Bradshaw and Gareth Gibson, both of whom play pivotal roles in shaping the trajectory of Trimble’s geospatial and reality capture technologies. Bradshaw, the Market Manager for Mobile Mapping, and Gibson, the Marketing Director for Mapping & GIS Solutions, came armed with an infectious enthusiasm and an array of details about Trimble’s latest innovation: the Trimble MX60. It was clear from our conversation that for them, the MX60 wasn’t just another product—it was a leap forward in the way we understand and interact with the physical world around us.

The Trimble MX60 offers improved positioning and optics, making it ideal for transportation infrastructure and road analysis and comprehensive asset management for utilities.

Bradshaw wasted no time in setting the stage. “Reality capture has evolved tremendously within Trimble,” he began. “We’re moving beyond static methods and into a realm where the devices do much of the heavy lifting. With the MX60, we’ve created a platform that collects mass data and makes it available for a range of practical applications.” He elaborated on how the MX60’s mobile mapping capabilities allow it to capture high-definition images and detailed 3D point clouds with stunning accuracy. The camera system, he emphasized, was a key development for utility companies, municipalities, and other sectors dependent on reliable asset data.
