LEICA Geosystems has launched the Leica Xsight360 safety awareness solution, powered by Presien.
The system detects nearby people or objects and alerts operators using sounds and visual cues.
The system’s visual AI models are trained for heavy construction operations and are said to continuously improve performance through machine learning. The Leica CRS360 AI processor runs Presien’s most advanced model to date – refined over 700,000 hours of real-world operation on construction sites – to deliver alerts with ‘minimal false alarms’.
Utilising AI detection technology, Leica Xsight360 is designed to mitigate risks by detecting hazards. The system supports up to six cameras, providing 360-degree coverage on any construction vehicle to detect people, other vehicles, and construction cones.
As the onboard solution enhances operator situational awareness, data is also sent to the Leica Xsight360 cloud platform. This generates insights that enable occupational health and safety managers to identify safety issues and opportunities for improvement.
“At Leica Geosystems, ensuring the safety of construction professionals is a top priority, especially as the industry advances towards automation,” said Neil Williams, president of Leica Geosystems’ machine control division. “With our partner, we’ve developed an intelligent, adaptive system that enhances safety in the present with instant alerts and shapes future safety strategies through comprehensive reports.”
Mark Richards, Presien’s CEO, added, “Partnering with a global innovator like Leica Geosystems marks a significant step in our mission to bring AI to every machine. We’re proud to collaborate on a solution that empowers site teams and safety leaders to better protect people on the ground. Backed by years of industry experience, our tailored AI technology addresses the unique challenges of construction environments, delivering safety and productivity to the highest standards.”
Leica Xsight360 will be showcased at Hexagon LIVE Global 2025, held in Las Vegas from June 16-19. The product will initially be available in the UK, with plans to expand into other regions in the near future.
