Presagis: Solving Real-Life Problems with Geospatially Accurate 5D Intelligence

The advent of virtual environments and digital twins has markedly improved the business landscape's ability to decide whether their upcoming products and services are ready for use in the real world. However, creating accurate 3D representations remains an uphill task for markets looking to develop digital twins spanning vast geographical areas because they must consider factors beyond the three dimensions before making crucial decisions. The primary challenges driving this hurdle are the enormous unstructured datasets, which make building realistic virtual environments that mimic real-time changes to the real world tricky.

Enter Presagis, an innovative immersive technologies company bridging this gap with its portfolio of ground-breaking tools that simplify the creation of accurate and immersive digital twins. Its flagship product, VELOCITY 5D, is a geospatially accurate 3D digital twin platform that provides location intelligence in 5D, enabling organizations and communities to better interpret the world around them.

Presagis' clientele comprises mapping agencies, defense entities, and public infrastructure management firms. In the defense sector, it provides tools that enable detailed and cost-effective virtual environments capable of quickly adapting to changes in the ever-evolving operational environment. For mapping agencies, its VELOCITY 5D platform produces better and more precise simulations, allowing them to create instrument-ready 3D environments faster. At the same time, VELOCITY 5D empowers architects, engineers, and builders to quickly produce digital twins of facilities, neighborhoods, cities, and countries with high degree of realism.

Built on the convergence of the geospatial, modeling, and simulation industries, VELOCITY 5D has a 3D Environments Add-In for the ESRI ecosystem, which allows users to readily create, transform, and extract various 3D formats. This toolbox also provides seamless interoperability between ArcGIS and a wide range of modeling and simulation applications, remarkably simplifying the conventionally disjointed process of building virtual environments that are accurate and showcase a high level of realism.

"VELOCITY 5D combines geospatial datasets with cutting-edge modeling and simulation to offer the best possible data on desired assets to decision-makers," says Jean-Michel Briere, president and CEO of Presagis.

Unlike many digital twin platforms that only offer accurate 3D visualizations, VELOCITY 5D complements its 3D creations with state-of-the-art modeling and simulation animation that facilitate the delivery of a truly live virtual environment. Typically, Presagis follows a highly collaborative approach where it closely works with clients and partners with leading GIS firms to create scalable and modular digital twins, be it a building, city, county, or country.

Once the twin is made, users can leverage the platform to run 'what if?' scenarios and significantly boost their decision-making. Alternatively, it leverages its deep AI know-how to assist clients in automating critical processes in their production environment, complementing existing systems with AI modules that deliver improved efficiencies.

These competencies make VELOCITY 5D ideal for mapping, smart city planning, disaster preparedness, energy asset management, transportation network, and critical infrastructure projects. In one instance, Presagis assisted a port authority in enhancing their large footprint's security. For this project, it created an accurate digital twin with a near-real-time view of every asset, which enabled the port administration to identify potential gaps in their existing measures and make crucial changes.

Similarly, Presagis built a digital twin of an entire city, enhancing their first responders' ability to better navigate their way from the dispatch point to the incident area. During this collaboration, it worked primarily on the simulation part of the digital twin creation process and delivered a realistic, 3D representation that mimics changes across the city in real time.

A critical factor of Presagis' continued success is its ever-growing network of partners from the digital twin community and from the 3D technology sector. In the geospatial sector and apart from ESRI, it has partnerships with other leading firms such as aerospace giant Airbus to give customers direct access to Airbus’ OneAtlas satellite image library from inside its VELOCITY 5D workspace. In the 3D technology sector, Presagis has been collaborating with Epic Games for a number of years to leverage the photo-real visuals and immersive power of their Unreal Engine into its own solutions. This collaboration-driven approach to problem-solving, combined with its AI expertise and innovative VELOCITY 5D platform, perfectly poises Presagis to continue delivering digital twins with unprecedented speed, scale, and realism.
