Integration of Utility Data into 3D BIM Models Using a 3D Solids Modeling Wor...
Integration of Utility Data into 3D BIM Models Using a 3D Solids Modeling Wor...Safe Software Jacobs has developed a 3D utility solids modelling workflow to improve the integration of utility data into 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM) environments. This workflow, a collaborative effort between the New Zealand Geospatial Team and the Australian Data Capture Team, employs FME to convert 2D utility data into detailed 3D representations, supporting enhanced spatial analysis and clash detection.
To enable the automation of this process, Jacobs has also developed a survey data standard that standardizes the capture of existing utilities. This standard ensures consistency in data collection, forming the foundation for the subsequent automated validation and modelling steps. The workflow begins with the acquisition of utility survey data, including attributes such as location, depth, diameter, and material of utility assets like pipes and manholes. This data is validated through a custom-built tool that ensures completeness and logical consistency, including checks for proper connectivity between network components. Following validation, the data is processed using an automated modelling tool to generate 3D solids from 2D geometric representations. These solids are then integrated into BIM models to facilitate compatibility with 3D workflows and enable detailed spatial analyses.
The workflow contributes to improved spatial understanding by visualizing the relationships between utilities and other infrastructure elements. The automation of validation and modeling processes ensures consistent and accurate outputs, minimizing errors and increasing workflow efficiency.
This methodology highlights the application of FME in addressing challenges associated with geospatial data transformation and demonstrates its utility in enhancing data integration within BIM frameworks. By enabling accurate 3D representation of utility networks, the workflow supports improved design collaboration and decision-making in complex infrastructure projects

Supporting the NextGen 911 Digital Transformation with FME
Supporting the NextGen 911 Digital Transformation with FMESafe Software Next Generation 911 involves the transformation of our 911 system from an old analog one to the new digital internet based architecture. The evolution of NG911 opens up a host of new opportunities to improve the system. This includes everything from device based location, to real time text. This can improve location accuracy dramatically as well as provide live updates from the citizen in need along with real time sensor updates. There is also the opportunity to provide multi-media attachments and medical records if the end user approves. This digital transformation and enhancements all require the support of new NENA and CRTC standards, along with integration across a variety of data streams.
This presentation will focus on how FME has supported NG911 transformations to date, and how we are positioning FME to support the enhanced capabilities to come. This session will be of interest to emergency services, municipalities and anyone who may be interested to know more about how emergency services are being improved to provide more accurate, localized information in order to improve the speed and relevance of emergency response and ultimately save more lives and provide better outcomes for those in need.

Wil Florentino, Senior Segment Marketing Manager at Micron, presents the “Addressing Evolving AI Model Challenges Through Memory and Storage” tutorial at the May 2025 Embedded Vision Summit.
In the fast-changing world of artificial intelligence, the industry is deploying more AI compute at the edge. But the growing diversity and data footprint of transformers and models such as large language models and large multimodal models puts a spotlight on memory performance and data storage capacity as key bottlenecks. Enabling the full potential of AI in industries such as manufacturing, automotive, robotics and transportation will require us to find efficient ways to deploy this new generation of complex models.
In this presentation, Florentino explores how memory and storage are responding to this need and solving complex issues in the AI market. He examines the storage capacity and memory bandwidth requirements of edge AI use cases ranging from tiny devices with severe cost and power constraints to edge servers, and he explains how new memory technologies such as LPDDR5, LPCAMM2 and multi-port SSDs are helping system developers to meet these challenges.
Enabling BIM / GIS integrations with Other Systems with FME
Enabling BIM / GIS integrations with Other Systems with FMESafe Software Jacobs has successfully utilized FME to tackle the complexities of integrating diverse data sources in a confidential $1 billion campus improvement project. The project aimed to create a comprehensive digital twin by merging Building Information Modeling (BIM) data, Construction Operations Building Information Exchange (COBie) data, and various other data sources into a unified Geographic Information System (GIS) platform. The challenge lay in the disparate nature of these data sources, which were siloed and incompatible with each other, hindering efficient data management and decision-making processes.
To address this, Jacobs leveraged FME to automate the extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) of data between ArcGIS Indoors and IBM Maximo. This process ensured accurate transfer of maintainable asset and work order data, creating a comprehensive 2D and 3D representation of the campus for Facility Management. FME's server capabilities enabled real-time updates and synchronization between ArcGIS Indoors and Maximo, facilitating automatic updates of asset information and work orders. Additionally, Survey123 forms allowed field personnel to capture and submit data directly from their mobile devices, triggering FME workflows via webhooks for real-time data updates. This seamless integration has significantly enhanced data management, improved decision-making processes, and ensured data consistency across the project lifecycle.

- 76. Predict AccelerateLearnAlign Adapt Path to Agility Status Quo Chaos & Resistance Integration& Practice New Status Quo The goal for the transformation cannot be to do Agile. Understanding and communicating the business objectives that will be achieved with the transformation is a critical first step. Through Agile training and coaching, teams and leadership are equipped with new techniques and an understanding of how Agile works. Ownership of processes are transferred to an empowered team and a culture of continuous improvement is put in place. Teams harden these newly learned practices and become more disciplined in order to deliver working product in a predictable and iterative manner. Once the teams become disciplined and predictable, we can focus on team and organizational improvements to optimize across the full delivery cycle and shorten time to market. Agile will begin to permeate throughout the organization and executive leadership, enabling empowered teams and adaptive leadership to respond to ever- changing market demands as they have transformed to an organization with true Agility. www.AgileVelocity.com [email protected] @agile_velocity
