Learn what a point cloud actually is and then how drone data is integrated with a point cloud to build a 3D worksite model.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. We think that’s especially true on busy worksites, but with a caveat: a picture is worth a thousand words if you know what you’re looking at. Without context (like where the photo was taken and why), real-time access, or direct communication attached to the image, it’s all too easy to get off track.
Meet Media, which empowers Propeller users to pin, organize, and respond to media (think cell phone pics and 360-degree photos) right from the map.
What Media means for you: You and your team can now add, sort, and exchange messages about digital media on your Propeller map. Capture your reality in real time, from any device, to better measure and manage your worksite.
Let’s dive into how Media works and how it can help transform disjointed and bumpy workflows into well-oiled productivity machines.
Today’s worksites collect thousands of photos, files, and other digital media to capture progress on-site. Photos are exchanged between the field and the office in a constant back-and-forth to help clarify meaning, record progress, and keep everyone on the same page.
But using these photos can be frustrating, because:
The result? Data silos and fragmented information, contributing to an environment that disrupts productivity instead of supporting it.
Think of Media as adding a fourth dimension to your map. Not only can you see a three-dimensional view of your worksite; now you can upload, download, tag, and comment on location-based photos without ever leaving Propeller.
“Propeller Media is invaluable. You can’t put a price on the ease of finding historical photo records years down the track. Photo records are stored in the one system and users can easily find what they need spatially and using category filters.”
— Rion Graham Emmerson, Survey Manager, Acciona
Keep communication clear, efficient, and accessible with real-time updates from the field.
Organize your digital assets by tag, date, and time, so everything’s on record.
Alert key stakeholders of critical site updates and investigate incidents directly from the map.
From photos to 360 images, capture real-time site activity and relevant messages right where you need them most.
Showcase your competitive edge with 360-degree walkthroughs, centralized assets, and design overlays.
“Recently, I encountered a challenge with sharing site photos across platforms for easy access with my team. Propeller’s new feature allows users to easily share and geo-tag in real time anywhere on the map. Now my team can collaborate with ease and view site photos at the same time, greatly improving efficiency and communication.”
— Alex Wong, Senior Digital Coordinator, Southern Program Alliance
At Propeller, we understand that the map is a meeting ground. It’s the place where collaboration happens, a universally understood source of truth reflecting every surface, measurement, or photo you collect.
With Media, your map is your one-stop hub for communication and transparency between on-site teams and external collaborators. With just a few clicks, the people doing the job and the people managing the job can access the information they need to do their jobs better, faster, and smarter.
We’re happy to show you how Propeller can power your worksite, and boost productivity.
