Topcon Positioning Systems has recently partnered with Bentley Systems and Worldsensing to integrate its GNSS technology into their software and connectivity solutions. The partnership aims to improve geospatial data accuracy and operational efficiency by incorporating Topcon’s web-based GNSS processing engine into Bentley’s iTwin internet-of-things (IoT) monitoring solutions.
The integrated solution offers a connect-and-collect solution that facilitates real-time detection and analysis of potential risks. The core component of this solution is GNSS technology, which seeks to make ground-movement monitoring applications more cost-effective and efficient, while also reducing the initial investment required for GNSS monitoring.
One of the key outcomes of this partnership is the enhancement of infrastructure digital twins capabilities through the incorporation of Topcon’s web-based GNSS processing engine into Bentley’s software solutions. This integration provides users with real-time geospatial intelligence, enabling better decision-making and operational effectiveness. Steve Bentley, senior director of infrastructure IoT at Bentley Systems, highlighted that the system is designed to provide users with enhanced capabilities in infrastructure digital twins.
This integrated solution is currently available for commercial use in the United States, Canada, Australia, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Bentley Systems has plans to expand the solution’s reach to South and Latin America in the near future. By combining Topcon’s GNSS technology with Bentley’s software solutions, users can expect improved geospatial data accuracy and enhanced operational efficiency across different regions.
Overall, this partnership represents a significant step forward in improving geospatial data accuracy and operational efficiency in various industries such as construction, transportation, energy, and mining.
