Cintoo has announced the release of its new widget for ArcGIS, enabling users to stream and interact with high-resolution, mesh-based laser scan data directly within the Esri environment.
The integration allows terrestrial and mobile LiDAR data to be converted into lightweight 3D meshes, maintaining full point cloud fidelity while enabling teams to effortlessly work with what were previously large, complex datasets.
The Cintoo Widget brings immersive 360-degree panoramic views and virtual inspection capabilities to ArcGIS, particularly beneficial for indoor and brownfield projects where conventional GIS tools often struggle to handle dense or detailed spatial data.
Users can analyse scan data, compare it to BIM and CAD models, and manage asset tags without leaving the ArcGIS environment. Whether managing a large-scale facility, modernising a manufacturing line, or overseeing construction progress, geospatial analysis is amplified with real-time site conditions.
“ArcGIS is used by 70% of the largest companies globally so this is a really exciting opportunity for us to demonstrate to the Esri ecosystem how our platform brings much-needed visualisation and insight and why many Cintoo customers in Building Construction & Operations, Automobile Manufacturing and Energy, such as BP and TotalEnergies, have already integrated it into their daily workflows,” said Dominique Pouliquen, CEO of Cintoo.
“Increasingly, integrating LiDAR and other types of imagery into GIS is becoming an indispensable part of modern project workflows and we are happy to make this possible for Cintoo’s customers,” said Kathleen Kewley, Esri director of AEC global business development. “In fields like construction and facilities management, modern 3D GIS is critical for dynamic awareness of assets and processes.”
Further integration between the two companies is on the horizon. Future developments will further expand Cintoo’s 3D mesh technology across the ArcGIS platform, making high-resolution, streaming mesh layers accessible to GIS users across the globe.
