Revolutionizing Geospatial Intelligence with Topcon GNSS and Bentley Systems
Bentley Systems and Worldsensing have recently announced a strategic partnership with Topcon Positioning Systems to improve geospatial data accuracy and operational efficiency. The partnership aims to integrate Topcon’s GNSS technology into the companies’ software and connectivity solutions.
One of the key outcomes of this partnership is the incorporation of Topcon’s web-based GNSS processing engine into Bentley’s iTwin internet-of-things (IoT) monitoring solutions. This integration will provide 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 enhance the capabilities of infrastructure digital twins.
The partnership 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.
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.
