Core offering

EARTHBRAIN provides the Smart Construction® digital platform, which connects the entire construction production process from surveying to completion by digitizing terrain, machinery, workers, and materials into a cloud-based digital twin. The portfolio includes modular software applications for site visualization (Dashboard), remote operation of construction equipment via 5G cockpits (Teleoperation), construction planning simulation (Simulation), fleet coordination (Fleet), 3D machine guidance, mobile 3D measurement (Quick3D), VR/XR site experiences, and AI-powered safety and document solutions. These offerings are sold primarily to construction companies and civil engineering contractors seeking digital transformation of worksites.

Product overview

EARTHBRAIN operates Smart Construction® as a modular digital platform-plus-products architecture. The flagship Smart Construction® platform connects the entire construction production process — from surveying and design through construction and inspection — digitizing terrain, machinery, workers, and materials into a cloud-based digital twin. The product portfolio spans multiple specialized modules: Smart Construction Dashboard (web-based digital twin visualization and analysis), Smart Construction Teleoperation (remote operation cockpit system for construction equipment), Smart Construction Design3D (3D terrain drawing), Smart Construction Groupware (construction workflow management), Smart Construction Fleet (multi-machine coordination), Smart Construction Simulation (digital twin-based construction planning optimization), Smart Construction Quick3D (3D measurement from photos; includes Plus AR variant), Smart Construction Whiteboard (cloud asset management), Smart Construction VR (VR site experience), Smart Construction 3D Machine Guidance (auto machine control; includes Flex variant), Smart Construction Pointworks (point cloud editing), Safety Support App (AI safety risk detection using generative AI), 工事書類AI (Document AI — generative AI for construction documents), Smart Construction XR (extended reality solution), and the PC200i-12 Remote System Specification (remote-ready excavator). These are complemented by Landlog (open construction platform) and Landlog Viewer (3D site visualization). Products are sold both individually and as integrated solutions, with key differentiators being the end-to-end digital twin approach, 5G-based remote operation capability, and AI-powered safety and planning features.
