Leica has launched a new RTC series of terrestrial 3D laser scanners that combine the speed and on-site registration of the RTC360 with the robustness and higher accuracy of the ScanStation P‑Series, targeting surveying, construction, industrial plants, public safety and infrastructure workflows. Three performance tiers allow users to step up to more demanding scan jobs without replacing their full hardware stack, supporting incremental upgrades across project portfolios. A new Livelink data service, integrated into the Cyclone Field 360 mobile app, streams multi-scanner datasets directly to Hexagon GeoCloud so field, office and cloud models stay synchronised in near real time.

Eclipse Data Innovations has expanded its SourceOne EKPS platform so operations teams at large industrial and mining sites can build custom, AI-powered workflow tools directly from their own time-series and event data using natural language prompts. The upgrade is aimed at tasks such as plant downtime analysis, shift handover reporting and maintenance planning, without needing bespoke coding or separate data-science projects. For engineers, this points to faster deployment of site-specific decision-support apps tightly coupled to existing historians, MES and fleet management systems.

Yorkshire Water has appointed Jacobs to a £32M artificial intelligence services framework to support operation and maintenance of its water and wastewater assets across the region. The multi-year agreement is expected to deploy data-driven tools for network monitoring, leakage detection and predictive maintenance on treatment works and buried infrastructure. For civil and geotechnical practitioners, the framework signals growing demand for asset condition analytics, integration of sensor data with hydraulic models, and AI-assisted planning of renewal and resilience upgrades.
