Announcing Our Partnership with Leica Geosystems, Part of Hexagon
At Presien, we believe that artificial intelligence should do more than crunch numbers or write emails – it should understand the world around it. That belief is at the core of physical AI: AI that perceives, processes, and acts in the real world. Today, we’re proud to share a major milestone in bringing that vision to life.
We’ve partnered with Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon, to launch Leica Xsight360 – a breakthrough safety-awareness solution powered by Presien’s advanced AI and intelligent agent technology.
This collaboration represents much more than a product release. It’s a clear signal of where AI is headed: away from the purely digital, and toward embedded intelligence in physical systems and equipment out in the real world.
Real-World Intelligence. Real-Time Impact.
Leica Xsight360 is a powerful edge-AI system that instantly detects potential hazards and delivers immediate alerts to operators, keeping people safe while capturing enormous amounts of high-value data. By combining onboard sensors with our refined computer vision models – trained over 700,000+ hours of operation in the field – Leica Xsight360 gives operators real-time awareness of their surroundings.
But the intelligence doesn’t stop there. What makes Leica Xsight360 truly transformative is its ability to learn, adapt, and act not just in milliseconds, but across time. Each alert, each detection, becomes part of a larger narrative. That’s where our cloud-based AI agents come in.
From Detection to Decision: Physical AI Propels Strategy and Operations
While operators very clearly benefit from immediate alerts, the real power of physical AI lies in what happens next.
Data captured from sites is transmitted to the cloud, where Presien’s agentic AI translates raw video into safety insights, pattern recognition, and proactive recommendations. The system can rapidly analyze video footage, surface trends, compare video against safety protocols, and generate high-quality reports that support vastly safer and more productive operations.
It’s AI that doesn’t just inform – it unlocks an entirely new set of business capabilities and possibilities.
Physical AI Is the Future – and the Present
There’s been a lot of talk lately about generative AI and its role in creative fields. And while we’re excited by those advancements, we also know where the biggest opportunity lies: AI that can perceive, understand, and act in the real world.
That’s where physical AI delivers exponential value. It’s not about automation. It’s about making the impossible possible. A human being can’t watch 700,000 hours of construction site video and identify patterns that have ramifications for safety or productivity. Now imagine trying to do that in real time, across dozens of construction sites. The barriers to accessing this capability have been insurmountable until physical AI became reality.
And that’s what makes this moment – and this partnership – so exciting. As Tim O’Reilly recently wrote about the highest and best uses of AI “...it means doing more, using humans augmented with AI to solve problems that were previously impossible, in ways that were previously unthinkable, and in ways that make our machine systems more attuned to the humans they are meant to serve.”
Why This Partnership Matters
Partnering with Leica Geosystems, a part of Hexagon, brings together the best of two worlds: their global reputation for precision, reliability, and infrastructure expertise, and Presien’s relentless drive to push the boundaries of AI in physical environments.
Together, we’re delivering a system that embodies the next evolution of artificial intelligence – not just smarter AI, but AI with transformative business impact, measurable ROI, and the capacity to empower real world innovation.
Our CEO, Mark Richards, will be presenting on these issues, Leica Xsight360, and more at Hexagon LIVE Global 2025, which will be held in Las Vegas on June 16-19. We hope you stop by and say hello!
