Inspection

Data Platform For Drone And Other Data Sources

A browser-based 3D visualization platform for AUAV that turns drone and geospatial data into interactive digital twins. Teams inspect assets, measure, annotate, compare site progress, and collaborate directly inside the 3D model.

Outcome: Construction, infrastructure, mining, energy, and asset management teams work with high-resolution site data in a browser — no heavy desktop software, no specialist workstation.

Results What changed for AUAV

The platform transformed how site data is visualized, shared, inspected, and analyzed. Teams could access accurate 3D site models remotely, reduce on-site visits, collaborate faster, and make better decisions using visual site intelligence.

Before

  • ✕Drone data was difficult to review in one place
  • ✕Asset inspection relied on disconnected photos and reports
  • ✕Large datasets required heavy desktop software
  • ✕Site issues were harder to identify and communicate
  • ✕Teams lacked real-time collaboration inside the model
After

  • ✓Browser-based access to high-resolution 3D digital twins
  • ✓Linked photo inspection directly inside the 3D model
  • ✓Measurement, annotation, and issue discussion tools
  • ✓Support for drone, LiDAR, GIS, BIM, 360° media, and IoT feeds
  • ✓Faster remote inspections and reduced site visits

THE CLIENT

AUAV — Drone-based site capture and inspection platform

AUAV is a drone-based site capture solutions provider helping industries collect, process, and visualize aerial data for inspections, planning, monitoring, and asset management.

The platform was built to support teams working with complex geospatial data across large-scale projects. It enables users to access accurate 3D site models, linked inspection photos, spatial overlays, measurement tools, and collaboration workflows from a standard web browser.

Advanced dronedata visualization and 3D site intelligence

Platform overview

Managing drone and geospatial data across large project sites can be complex. AUAV simplifies this by turning drone-captured data into interactive 3D digital twins that teams can access directly from a web browser. Users can inspect assets, view linked photos, measure site conditions, add annotations, compare progress, and collaborate in one centralized platform.

The problem

DATA WITHOUT VISIBILITY

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 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.

Complex 3D data visualization

Large drone, LiDAR, and photogrammetry files needed to be displayed smoothly in the browser.

Disconnected inspection workflows

Photos, reports, drawings, and site notes were often managed separately from the 3D model.

Limited collaboration

Teams needed a shared environment for annotations, comments, measurements, and issue discussions.

Heavy software dependency

Users needed easy online access without installing specialist desktop tools.

The solution

Browser-based 3D digital twin platform

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.

3D Model Viewer

The site, in the browser

High-resolution drone and site data displayed as interactive 3D digital twins.

Linked Photo Inspection

Click the model, see the asset

Users can click within the model to view detailed inspection photos of assets and site areas.

Measurement & Annotation

Measure without leaving

Teams can measure distances, areas, and volumes, then add comments, tags, and issue discussions.

Multi-source Data Overlays

Every format, one model

The platform supports drone data, LiDAR, GIS, BIM, 360° imagery, video, KML, GPX, GeoJSON, and satellite layers.

Collaboration & Reporting

One place to work from

Users can host drawings, PDFs, reports, before/after datasets, and live IoT feeds for better project visibility.
