Welcome back to another episode of Reshaping Workflows with Dell promax and Nvidia RTX GPUs. I'm Logan Lawler, your host and I'm glad you're back. This means you are listening and liking our content. So I want to take a second and thank you for all that have listened and downloaded the episode and engaged with our content or left us a comment or review. It really means a lot and it's kind of exceeded our wildest expectations. And speaking of exceeding wild expectations, we have a fantastic episode planned for you today and don't want to kind of blow the lead, but we have two guests with us today. We have Yannick Stinger from Hexagon and David Plore, who needs no introduction, who's actually works with me at Dell and fascinating human being. So I won't steal all their thunder. So let's start, Yannick, with you. Can you introduce yourself to the audience, background of where you work, what you do and why you're here?
- [01:09]
A
Thank you, Logan. Hello, Logan. Hello, David. Hello everyone. Very happy to be here today, guys. So I'm Jannik Stenger, I work for Hexagon, so global leader in digital reality, an international company, but I am in France and I've been a product manager for software for five years and so I'm in charge of leading the future of software for reality capture. This is something I can describe in more detail later. So reality capture technologies at Hexagon and I mean I'm a little bit original in the Hexagon ecosystem. I come from the construction industry and not from a software. No technical technology background.
- [01:53]
B
Very cool. So you're a practitioner. You are previously were a practitioner. I love this. I used to, I. I love that. All right, big guy. Dave. Introduce yourself, everyone. Your world premiere. Your world premiere. I know, I know.
- [02:06]
C
I'm really excited to be here. Logan, thanks so much, man. This is great. And congratulations to you on the, on the success of your every podcast. I guess you're, you're bumping right up to Joe Rogan now, right?
- [02:18]
B
You know Joe Rogan? Watch out. Joe Rogan, Watch out. No, we'll never.
- [02:22]
C
Yeah. So my name is David Plord. I am the business development manager for our rugged line of products. So very, you know, purpose built systems to be used in austere hazardous environments. And not your typical heavy powered, high powered workstation. But you know, we're Gaining. We're gaining quite a bit of. Of horsepower in those systems and I guess that's where we're here to talk about today. But I've been around the rugged industry and client computing, overall workstations as well, since about 2007. So my, my history with rugged goes
- [03:02]
B
back quite a ways. Very cool. Well, thank you for joining us. So since I've got. Usually I have just one guest, but we have two guests today, so double the fun here. Janik, we'll start with you. So you mentioned reality capture. We'll come back to that here in a second. But tell us a little bit about, you know, the core business of Hexagon. You mentioned. It's a software, it's an isv. But if someone was that doesn't know anything about Hexagon came to your website. One minute. What does Hexagon do again?
- [03:29]
A
Digitality, global leader and digitality in one sentence. I mean, in the Hexagon geosystem space, I really work and address industries. I mean geosystems, surveying, architecture, engineering, construction. But in Hexagon this is basically everything. It could be automated, aviation, geospatial. So as soon as you have something to measure in the real world, Hexagon provide hardware, sensors, software solutions to transform the real world into a digital content and something or more and more digital assets to do anything just from scratch or to do operations and maintenance. So from A to Z we offer solution to tons of stakeholders.
- [04:22]
B
Okay, so you. Let's dive into the next question. So you mentioned reality capture. What is reality capture?
- [04:28]
A
So reality capture includes all the technologies to really, I mean, to measure the reward. So laser scanning. I guess most of. I mean the audience is probably very familiar with 2D lasers. You know, when you scan your paper and you get information on a 2D plane. At Hexagon we are best in class in matter of three 3D laser scanners. So to measure the world in 3D. And the main output from. So in this reality capture concepts are point clouds. So XYZ in three dimension information and also geotagging information, also images. That's important. 3D assets and point clouds are extremely complex. And this is why we are in the scope in the landscape of light capture. So providing sensors to measure the 3D world ones are for appropriate for a small room, for a manufacturing site, or for a plant site, or for a bridge. So different types of 3D laser scanners. And then we have to digest those point clouds. Those 3D capture data into advanced software products and to deliver something. Okay, what do you do or what do your users do from the point clouds? Do they need to do an analysis model? And we can discuss this.
- [05:57]
B
Okay, let me, let me ask a follow up question because I, I'm very familiar with the term nerfs and Gaussian splatting, but reality capture versus kind of point cloud, let me try to define it. Let's see how smart I am so I can embarrass myself. And you mentioned lidar. But I think the big difference is, is that when I was creating some Gaussian splats of, well, kind of the Sistine Chapel, even though you don't really have images of. It doesn't matter. It's a whole long story. But I'm taking 2D images and then creating a 3D construction. I think the difference, and maybe I'm wrong here with realitycapture it sounds more real time and constant with using sensors as well. So it seems much more accurate. But if you could define those two kind of, I guess differences for us between like a nerf Gaussian splat versus a reality capture, that would be great because I'm super confused.
- [06:51]
A
Yes, I can understand. So you are not exactly right, but I mean approaching the reality. So for me, I mean maybe my understanding, my vision, RealityCapture includes everything, all this world. And inside RealityCapture technology. I mean at Hexagon we provide solutions, yes, LiDAR, LiDAR, 3D laser scanners, and indeed there is also NURF cushion splatting that we deliver point clouds or close to point clouds or 3D contents. But for me those two approaches and could have also photogrammetry. I mean in the Hexagon world we also offer photogrammetry solutions. All those solutions or technologies are part of reality capture, capturing the reality in 3D. So point clouds images. Again, I think it's important also to, to mention that's images GeoReference Panoramic in 3D. I mean many, many, many things that still are very important. I mean point clouds, sound, I mean it sounds exciting and the future of fancy, but still images are still important because for most of, I mean normal people, they do understand better images than point clouds. Still very complex.
- [08:00]
B
Okay, so it makes sense. So reality captures the overall discipline, but underneath it, whether it's Gaussian spying, nerfs, all of that, it is, hey, there's different fields, fields of it. Whether it's, you know, scanner based, lidar based, whether it's, you know, like basically the reconstruction method, etc.
- [08:18]
A
And LiDAR, you mentioned accuracy. LIDAR would be more, a little bit more Accurate, I mean, different position.
- [08:26]
B
So let me, let me ask a question. So I, I and Dave, I promise I won't leave you out. I know you're sitting all lonely up there in your cabin, but as we, you know, when I, when I did this kind of NERF 3D reconstruction of the Sistine Chapel, right. And I've done one of the indoor of my house which my wife didn't appreciate, doesn't really matter. But I took images and videos and it turned out okay. I mean I give it like maybe a solid B minus but when you add in lidar and you're actually physically majoring like how much does that either speed up the process of reconstruction or and how much more accurate does it make the actual 3D reconstruction?
- [09:04]
A
I think the difference between LIDAR technology and Gaussian splatting for example, I mean Gaussian splatting will be much faster. And for me, I mean the position of our portfolio. So Hexagon Red Capture portfolio. So I mean the main brand is Lake Azure Systems and still very popular among the, the stakeholders. I mean quality accuracy first. I mean we offer high level products, hardware and software. So I mean to scan your house and I mean you want to have fun and to scan with your videos and images to recreate this 3D world. I mean that's cool. And maybe Gaussian splitting would be much more appropriate in your case. But we address experts, surveyors, engineers with decades of experience and it has to be right. And actually I think this is our slogan at Hexagon. It has to be right. And so I might talk to about construction industry. I mean challenges and I mean in matter of planning costs we have to offer accuracy to our customers and that
- [10:14]
B
would be the difference that makes sense. I mean and honestly I was using a free tool to do it. So I don't know if I'd want to use a free tool to go out and build a building or a bridge or something.
- [10:22]
C
But.
- [10:23]
B
So Dave, so question for you. I told you I would come back to you. That's the whole point of you know the Delpro rugged systems, right? They're designed to be rugged. It's not my, you know, Dell Pro Max premium with the 3000 Blackwell RTX GPU, right? You drop that, it's going to break. Let's be honest, rugged systems depending on and David could get in to more specifics around the height and all this kind of stuff but it's designed to be withstand the typical wear and tear that you might get in hostile environments and stuff like that, so Dave, kind of bringing this back to rugged, right? What Yannick's saying is that, you know, with kind of lidar and reality capture, it is going out in the field, whether it is, you know, construction, whether it is engineering, whether you're out on like a manufacturing floor. How does that tie into rugged? Why is that important?
- [11:11]
C
So you've got, you know, you've got field workers, right, who are out there and like you're talking about construction sites doing a retrofit of an existing building. And so, you know, some of this building, you know, it may not be powered anymore. It may be wide open spaces with some of those extreme elements. It could be heat, could be cold, it could be moisture. But you've got to go out and you still got to do the job. You've got to scan it, you know, with the scanners and you've got to capture that, you know, the initial capture. And yeah, you know, the Dell Pro Max systems obviously are built with performance in mind, whereas rugged is more of that purpose built for those environments. Like, you know, temperature is, is, you know, in, in Fahrenheit, it's negative 20 to 145 degrees operating temperature, you know, high humidity environments. Some of our systems can actually withstand salt fog so very, you know, coastal salty areas like that. In this particular case with Hexagon and their cyclone application, I sent a system out to Yannick and it's our system that's equipped, it's the, it's the Delpro Rugged 14. So it's, it's a semi rugged system. And really the difference between a fully rugged and a semi rugged system is in the moisture and dust ingress, all of the temperature, you know, changes and, and things like that are pretty much the same. Drop height is, is a little bit different because it is semi rugged. But we sent the system out because it's also equipped with the Nvidia RTX ADA 500 generation graphics card. So what I wanted Yannick to help us with is to really push that system to the limit and see if we can do, you know, some of these field based operations with our rugged system and really tax the GPU and, and see just how far we could take it. And so that system performed very well. Yannick actually, you know, did the testing, so I'll let him speak to that. But it just, it takes what has been historically known as this, this computer that you can, you know, mount in a vehicle and you know, let it sit out in the Arizona sun or be up in Alaska, you know, in a, in A freezing cold car or you know, obviously applications with the military and very austere environments. And now we're actually taking it catapulting into higher performance on the computing and more complex applications that can now be run in the field. So very excited. I think it's a huge leap for us in the rugged world. And I'm excited to see just how far this system and then the next generation, which obviously will have the next generation Nvidia card, you know, processing power and you know, just, just where we can take it. But I was very excited with the results and with, with Yannick, you know, telling us how, how we did there.
- [14:11]
B
I love it. So I mean with rugged, I'll tell you, if you do have a rugged system, the funnest thing to do with the rugged system is be in the middle of a presentation and go whoopsie and let it drop and watch everyone's eyes open up. It's so much fun. But Yannick, tell us a little bit about what is the Cyclone app and talk to us a little bit about the results that David mentioned when you did the testing on the Dell Pro Rugged 14 with the 500 RTX GPU.
- [14:34]
A
Okay, so maybe more in detail. I mean I mentioned, I mean Hexagon and at Hexagon, I mean we have of course tons of software and hardware solutions. Cyclone 3D R, part of the Cyclone family, is really the most advanced software products to consume reality, capture data and to get deliverables. I might talk, I mean I could talk for ages about my product. So I'm, I'm responsible and accountable for Cyclone 3R and we do have a specific architecture, engineering and construction edition. And I mean here this is just a very brief like 3, 4 floor 4 satellites to explain what we can do, how we can really accelerate, I mean the, the process of data set for BIM application. Not sure if you are familiar with bim.
- [15:20]
B
Yes, what is, I mean I know the term because I have to listen to a coworker go on and on and on about it named Ken Flanagan. But for those that don't know bim. What is bim?
- [15:28]
A
Yeah, Building Information Modeling. It's a worthwhile, I mean behind it we can include anything related to 3D in the construction industry. I mean it's really important because I mean, I mean I'm around 40, I started my career 20, 15 years ago and that was very, the beginning of the BIM deployment. So basically the transition, I mean the digital transition for the construction industry only happening 15 years ago and still the construction Is very late in comparison to other industries in matter of digital transformation adoption of new technologies. And so BIM started with mainly the 3D modelization of projects. But there is a means for intelligent and yes the intelligence. There are so many attributes, so many assets information that we could add inside a 3D model. That's the purpose of BIM and to offer collaboration to be connected to the cloud. So it's much more complex, just 3D but still many, many achievements ahead of us to make all the construction industry stakeholders at the same level in matter of adoption and maturity for BIM adoption. A couple of slides and what you could do with Cyclone 3D R and Hexagon software solutions. One of the core and I mean very basic way to consume ready to capture data. And this is to monitor construction sites. And again talking about the differences between the stakeholder in matter of let's say digital technology adoption. I mean there is a huge gap between the field and between engineering companies for example. So it's still important to really to monitor and reality capture offers a way to do it with high accuracy. And so just to create heat maps, just to do QA QC has built verification coordination between different companies compliancy with any kind of standard. It's extremely important to. I mean that really makes the difference today. And it can be more and more, I mean faster and faster. And in particular with the Dell ROG device this is something that can be computed offline in the field. And let's say for a regular project like a large building, like a big hospital, one floor. I mean this is something that can be computed in a couple of minutes on a Del rock device using Cyclone 3D R. And also, I mean this tool can also help to accelerate scan to beam. Not really for construction verification, but more for the renovation and the preparation of future projects. So that's deviation analysis is extremely important. We also offer I mean progress monitoring and within Cyclone 3D R that is a desktop application, it's a little bit disruptive. So I like to mention this workflow we can see among the market players many cloud solutions. But we do have a desktop way to create on a regular basis progress reports. And that's extremely important. I mean just for invoicing. I mean that's the most important part. I mean cash is I mean is key for the construction companies and to monitor subcontractors to communicate. So that's a valuable workflow that we can offer.
- [18:57]
B
So you're saying instead of someone have to go out and manually look at the site and fill out the Gantt chart to see the payment milestones and all of that. With Cyclone 3dr, you go out and do a scan, it'll tell you progress against the sow payment milestones and you'll know exactly. Holy smokes dude. That's awesome. That's awesome.
- [19:22]
A
We have a large range of different scanners at like Azure Stem or Hexagon, for example the Bildkyark, you know the one that is mounted on the, on the dog robot from the Boston Dynamics, we can prepare a path before so it can be more and more automatic. I mean the dog would know the path and could deliver a point cloud and then we don't need to have an operator anymore once it is prepared. So this is a way to save time and for example to get a new scan on a weekly basis, for example.
- [19:55]
B
Wow, that's so cool.
- [19:58]
A
And of course AI, AI is key to make the difference. So here, I mean this is a video that we made with our partner Nvidia and also with you guys with Dave to show that reality capture, I mean combined with AI and those hardware, so GPU from Nvidia Dell devices, we can really make the reality capture data more intelligent. I mean let's be clear, I mean point clouds are very complex still. Lidar sensors capture everything. So it's very noisy and AI and with this point cloud classification technology that we released in our desktop product four years ago and now it is really mature. We have delivered improvements in matter of time performances. We have delivered various models. So here you can see a plot model, really specialized to do scan to pipe modeling but we have one for construction sites. So appropriate for the two workflows I presented before deviation and prores monitoring. I mean happy to say that this point cloud classification, I mean based on models, this is an in house AI technology. At Hexagon we have an AI division and delivering this technology and permanently improved also to support the latest Dell hardware components. And we will have a new update of the engine in a couple of months. So it is, yeah it is. You know, I mean it works nicely on the rug device and I did some tests back in February and it was working smoothly. And also, I mean it's really a difference, I mean in the market, I mean Cyclone 3 can run offline. I mean when we talk about AI among our partners and customers, I mean still I can see the fear or mistrust about data sharing in the cloud, et cetera. This technology can run offline and there is no data exchange. So that's, that's a good way to to adopt A.I.
- [22:19]
B
i love it. So the, the models that you I wouldn't trained or fine tuned it sounds like at least what it looked like in the video is you're it's more kind of a visual model to recognize for example a tree or a shrub or a bend in a pipe or a certain kind of. I'm not in the construction industry so you can make fun of me a rivet or a jackhammer or whatever or whatever it is layered on top of your product so you can identify like hey, is Jimmy jackhammering in the right area or is Jimmy in the wrong spot?
- [22:51]
A
Exactly. So point clouds xyz that's complex. And now this is a new attributes, a new class, a new information that we can assign. So of course models are trained by application. So construction sites, walls, floors, ceilings, worksite equipments conducts and then when we combine this Technology with Cyclone 3D R Versatile tools then we can split, we can work on specific objects, we can compare with accuracy and remove noisy points and be much more accurate. And for the progress monitoring feature that I showed, I mean when we included this construction site model, I mean the false positive, false negative effect was yeah. Removed by 90% so time saving, time saving for all users.
- [23:37]
B
That's awesome. So very cool. I love it. Let's go. Let me ask you this. We're gonna just get not necessarily rapid fire questions. If you've got a great answer, give me the answer but we'll kind of go back and forth and ask some some questions here. So I mean we've talked a lot about you know, manufacturing. We've talked well not necessarily manufacturing but more kind of AECO BIM type workflows. You know Yannick, so say in the next or right now or even up to the next year, what do you see some other use cases for Cyclone 3Dr. In other industries, biomedical. I mean what are the ones you think are coming next?
- [24:12]
A
I come from the construction industry so I joined five years ago and it's being the main push, I mean for the team and really and I think we have managed to position Cyclone Studio as a top scan to verify you know to create analysis of scan data. And right now and likely for the next couple of years scan to plant facility is our big deal. So to create models from laser scanner data. So piping we released last year. I mean the piping feature, scan tube piping feature that is still being improved and still structure is what's coming next MEP equipment. So scan to facilities, scan to plants is our core focus for the Next couple of years.
- [25:00]
B
Okay, that's great. So you know David, to you kind of a, a rapid fire question is with wind rugged. You mentioned kind of all of the industries. Right. We kind of touched on the GPU but Yannick said, you know, Cyclone 3D kind of runs offline but go through a couple of the features like the mobile broadband and other things within rugged that make it pretty unique and allow it to actually function like a normal computer out in the wild.
- [25:27]
C
Yeah, so that's great question. Yeah, so all of our, all the rugged systems are you know, equipped or can be equipped with you know, today's 5G modems so they can be online communicating. They also have individual and GPSs that are separate from that, you know, mobile broadband card. So it's actually the accuracy is very good down to you know, sub three meters. And you've also got in a rugged system, it is the last holdout for some of those older IO type connections like a serial connection, it might be a Fisher connection, you know, that military uses, but there's no other, no other client device that Dell offers that has those type of connections. So if you're utilizing some equipment that requires that you know, native serial connection versus just a usb, you know, the rugged system is going to have it. It's, the system is designed very ergonomically, you know, like, like our Dell Pro Max systems or Delpro systems. Everything operates exceptionally well as far as, you know, comfort of keyboard and all and, and those type of things, cameras, you know, all of those normal type system uses. But the real, I guess the real, a real advantage to the Dell Pro rugged systems is that they can be serviced on site next business day like any of our other client devices, which is a unique service offering in the rugged industry. You know, a lot of our competition, most of them have a mail in type of service for repair. So you could be, you know, without your system, without your ability to do that field based work for you know, potentially weeks, you know, before you get the system back. So, so we're really good at keeping, keeping our users up and running. There are some unique features in Rugged also in that it can be vehicle docked so power can be supplied to those devices. And if you're, and if you're off site somewhere, you know, quite, quite out of the normal 5G range or you know, you can also connect to external antennas through the dock, through the vehicle dock and get more power out of those antennas so that you can still remain connected in those really, you know, far off site, off site locations that's cool.
- [27:44]
B
I mean I grew up in Missouri. It was pretty off the grid, but it wasn't that off the grid. But that's, that's really cool. Yannick, next question is that, I mean don't share anything that you're not allowed to share. We don't want to get you fired because you're doing a great job at Hexagon. But what are some of the cool things that we might see coming out of Cyclone and say the next year outside of kind of the, the object identification in the 3D lidar scan, is there anything else that maybe is on your roadmap or you're interested in doing?
- [28:12]
A
Interest, let's say. I mean I mentioned AI. That's yeah being a big word that we can hear on a daily basis. Normal life, the point classification technology that we have. I mean an in house again, very proud of this one and it's. I mean first I would like to make and to leverage this technology to make more automation in general and to save time for users. For me I can see that AI for in reality capture this is more time saving rather than accuracy. I mean the models are 85% good and still our surveyors experts using our technologies, they want to double check to do manual verification. Having a good accuracy but time saving for me providing AI tools. But we need to do more things in matter of AI. So I'm not going to talk about everything. I do have a couple of ideas in my mind and to accelerate not only how to detect, you know, objects, detect assets in a 3D environment, but also to offer the best user experience. I think that would be one of the big challenge, big challenges ahead of us. I mean for the next, I don't know, five years still our users are surveyors. I mean traditional surveyors from older than 50 years old. But new generation of users is coming and we need to also modernize and renew the way we approach the software experience and AI I think yeah, we like.
- [29:49]
B
So I saw and I could be wrong is in the slide you showed is Leica and I remember Leica is the cameras, the really nice cameras. If you've ever seen Euro Trip. Yeah has a Leica anyways doesn't matter. But moral of the story is in terms of LIDAR scanners kind of give a few brands and like that you recommend with Cyclone 3Dr. Obviously Leica is one of them. Are there others or is Leica it like where if they were going to purchase Cyan 3dr. They need a LIDAR scanner. Which one would you recommend? And why?
- [30:22]
A
Cyclone 3D R is a scanner agnostic product. So any kind of relative capture data or pin clouds come into, I mean can come into Cyclone 3R. I mean but of course, I mean Cyclone 3D R is branded Leica so it's a Leica Azure systems software products. So I can only mention Leica Geo Systems scanners obviously. I mean the most appropriate one among the Leica portfolio would be RTC360 which is I mean really the, I mean it's a mid range scanner but very versatile and to capture the outdoor environment like infrastructures, tunnels, buildings and also to do accurate indoor workflows. So the combination of RT360 and Cyclone 3D R, I mean for me that's the best in class in the market.
- [31:10]
C
I've got a question Logan. Now is that scanner you're talking about Yannick, is that a ground based. Because when I was at your conference recently, you know, I was amazed at just how far your scanners reach, you know, attached obviously to aircraft and drones for those overhead scanning. The New York City demo, you know, was really amazing to me. So is, is that scanner, is that like the engine and is also used in thing in, in the LIDAR scanners that would be carried by a drone perhaps?
- [31:40]
A
Yeah, that's. So we do have also, I mean, I mean in the division, not directly drone sensors but that's for me sort of the border between Geosystems and Geospatial. For me the main difference this is the scale. So at the Geosystems division I mean I mentioned the RTC360 it's a static ground scanner. We do have also the TRK series and those ones can be mounted on mobile vehicles so on cars and those ones are appropriate to measure and capture radio roads sideways and that would, that would be the limit of the Geosystems scale eventually I mean linear tunnel roads and then at the city or county region levels this is more geospatial. So I mean at Exagon we do have solutions for this but this is not really in my scope.
- [32:31]
B
Last question. And we know we're kind of getting up towards time so let's pretend someone's listening to this. They're a small construction company in Austin, Texas. They've never heard of point clouds or reality capture or Cyclone 3Dr. Or LiDAR. If and I'm going to put you on the spot here so you can say you know a range if you want but for someone to say get set up with, with your platform with hexagon cyclone 3 doctor to get kind of that Middle scanner that you talked about from Leica, that you were, that you recommended and to get going. Are we talking for them to get started? Are we talking about tens of tens of dollars, hundreds of dollars, thousands of dollars, Hundreds of thousands of dollars just for one person, one license, one operator, one scanner to get started? What are they looking at?
- [33:21]
A
So to get started, this is not the RTC360 I would recommend, but we have the BLK360. Approximately $15,000 for a device and appropriate for indoor, indoor application. So could be valuable for architects, engineers, even construction company. And I remember when I just joined the Hexagon, a company in France, 17 agencies around in France and they purchased 17 BLK2GO. BLK2GO is less accurate, but it's mobile. And just you visit a site that you are about to renovate and just you can capture in five minutes on your rugged. Yes, exactly. And then you process on your rug device. And this one is Approximately I think $20,000. And Cyclone 3D R is $7,000. I mean the pro edition, the full package, Pro edition would be seven. So subscription, yearly subscription. It's. I mean we are not an entry level product, software product, I mean let's be clear. But we do offer, I mean so many possibilities. If you have a 3D ready capture data, you can do anything with Cyclone 3D. And I mentioned AI point, cloud classification, but I didn't mention our scripting module. And I mean when you run your own scripts, then you can customize everything with.

I love that. Well, we're kind of getting up time. Yannick, this has been a fantastic conversation. Rihannik, I'll go with you. And then David, you know, Yannick, in a one minute kind of give a recap for someone. Let's just pretend they were crazy and they fell asleep for the last 37 minutes and missed every single thing you talked about. Give a one minute recap of Cyclone the product. Real quick overview. Give them the cliff notes so they

can pass the test for the BIM application. There are so many things again, Cyclone 3D R is probably the most versatile. You can do so many things to model, to analyze and I would say so part of Hexagon. This is really accuracy, best in class accuracy that we can infer that we cannot find matters hardware, sensors, but also software products. So Cyclone 3D R to process the data. I mean we have a free viewer, it's easy to report. We have a, I mean a reporting tool that is automatic. You do an analysis report, a PDF is created automatically. But there are many possibilities towards to finish. A pain for the construction industry still is to align a design model and the reit. And we have a very basic tools. I mean this is four clicks to do and to align the design model and the point cloud. And this is something that we delivered a couple of years ago. It's so easy to use and you can align in 2 minutes. And so your last sentence, AI. AI really makes a difference. And we have a very robust point cloud classification engine and with very good feedback from the market.

That's awesome. Dave, same thing, one minute recap on

Rugged, you know, I think about these, the project managers, the field engineers, you know, if they're afraid to bring their system or they're, you know, gingerly, you know, they have, wherever they're at, they have to be very, very soft with the systems, you know, so that they don't get damaged. And you want to get away from that or you want to get away from pen and paper and then going back to the office and doing some work. I mean, this is really where, where rugged, you know, performs at its best. I mean, connectivity in the field or as Yannick said, you know, not connected and still running the application in various environments, either extreme heat, dusty, dirty, muddy. These systems are designed so that you can spill your coffee on it, you know, if you have to. And if you have to, or if you do, you know, rinse it off. I mean that's, you know, you can't do that with, with the Delpro action or you wouldn't want to necessarily do that. So it has a very unique fit. It also, again, it can be, if you are a truly a field based engineer, you're in the field a lot and you want to have a system that will last you throughout the day. You can vehicle dock this if you're going from a site to site or if you're a project manager on multiple construction projects, you can keep it connected through the vehicle, which will keep the batteries charged. You'll have all day plus power, you know, and also if you don't necessarily have that vehicle dock, we do offer dual hot swappable batteries. So you can pop one battery out, pop a fresh battery in and keep going, not have to find a place to charge. And that's of course one unique feature that rugged has that, that no other systems have that I neglected to mention earlier. So, you know, for anybody working out in the field, we have the horsepower now with the, you know, the Nvidia ADA generation graphics card. And you know, I'm excited about how this how far we can take this.

B
I'm excited, too. Rugged's always exciting. You don't think it is, but it actually is. It's the most interesting product we have, actually. So, Yannic, right before we close up, where can everyone find you on social media? LinkedIn, Hexagon's website. Where can they find you?
- [38:21]
A
Yeah, LinkedIn. It's easy. Yeah. Extinger. Exagon. Easy to find me on LinkedIn.

B
Yeah. Well, I don't know. I mean, I got told when we were on a call, it's embarrassing story, but we were on a call and. Because we're doing the video podcast now, right? It was just audio before, and when I was telling someone on the call, Cindy was on the call, and I made the comment about how, you know, I had the podcast doing really well, and. And they're like, man, you do have a really good voice. And then Cindy goes, yeah, and a face for radio. I was like, dude, Cindy, like, just, what a jerk. You know, she's just a jerk. But anyways, she'll be on the next episode, so I can't wait. So with that, Yannick, David, really appreciate you taking the time to come chat with me. Learned a lot, lot about, you know, reality capture. Overall, Rugged Cyclo 3Dr. Is fantastic. So if you could check them out on LinkedIn at. Sean extinger, David Ford on LinkedIn and then check out just hexagon.com. i'm Logan Lawler. We're signing off. Till next time. Until next time, we chat. Keep your workflows running local on your Del Pro Max or Dell Pro Rugged with your Nvidia RTX gpu. And with that, we'll see you next time.
