Complete Spatial And Inspection Data Platform For Drone And Other Data Sources

Problem

Drone and geospatial data often produce large, complex datasets that are difficult to review using traditional tools. Teams needed a simple way to visualize 3D site models, inspect assets, compare project progress, and collaborate without relying on heavy desktop software or disconnected workflows. The client needed a unified platform that could support high-resolution 3D models, linked photo inspection, GIS/BIM overlays, measurement tools, annotations, live data feeds, and secure cloud-based access all in one place.

High-resolution 3D digital twins

Linked photo views for detailed asset inspection

Support for GIS and BIM overlays, satellite data, and IoT feeds

Measurement, annotation, and collaboration tools

Full functionality in cloud-hosted environments

Solution

We engineered a feature-rich web platform that allows users to securely view, inspect, measure, annotate, and manage drone-captured site data through interactive 3D models. The platform combines drone imagery, LiDAR, GIS, BIM, 360° media, satellite data, KML, GPX, GeoJSON, documents, and live IoT feeds into one centralized digital twin experience giving teams everything they need to manage complex spatial data from a single, unified interface.

Use Cases

Digital twin of your site or assets

High-resolution 3D models, with linked photo view for asset inspection

Measurement and annotation tools, including issue discussion threads

3D site capture for safety inductions, management, planning, or tender packages

Fully customisable for specific industries, clients, or integrate with 3rd-party software

Client Goals

The client wanted to develop a platform that would:

  • Display drone-captured data as detailed 3D site models
  • Allow users to inspect assets through linked photos within the 3D view
  • Support integration with various data types like photogrammetry, LiDAR, bathymetry, GIS, BIM, 360° images, and video
  • Include tools for measuring, adding annotations, and discussing issues directly in the model
  • Enable easy comparison of before-and-after site conditions
  • Allow hosting of documents such as as-built drawings, PDF reports, and live IoT data
  • Works online without the need for heavy software
  • Be flexible and customizable to meet the needs of different industries and support integration with external systems
