Trimble Connect AI

Trimble Connect started out as a cloud-based common data environment (CDE), but now includes an expanding suite of AI capabilities designed to connect design, construction and operational workflows.

In design, features include generating architectural options using live as-built point-cloud data, converting natural-language prompts into constructible structural models, and automatically classifying scanned point clouds into structural elements.

For construction teams, applications include AI-powered diagnostics for machine-control systems, converting 360-degree site walk videos into 3D point clouds, and voice-driven site inspections that automatically transcribe observations and link them to project drawings.

For project operations, there’s AI-powered procurement and invoice matching, contract risk analysis and change-order automation. An AI-powered scheduling capability also links project timelines with live site data, identifying potential delays, recommending mitigation measures and updating plans to help keep projects on schedule and within budget.

These capabilities are underpinned by two components of Trimble’s AI layer: Trimble Assist and Trimble Agent Studio. Trimble Assist provides a conversational AI interface through which teams can interact with AI agents and surface insights from across the Trimble ecosystem. Trimble Agent Studio enables customers to capture standard operating procedures and the institutional knowledge of experienced employees in customised AI agents and skills, helping to train and guide the next generation of workers.
