What:
ContextCapture, Bentley Systems, Incorporated’s reality modeling software that allows users to quickly create 3D models from simple photographs, was named Best Overall Solution at the Reliability Solution Awards held in conjunction with The Reliability Conference, in Las Vegas, Nevada, hosted by Uptime Magazine and Reliabilityweb.com. The Reliability Solution Awards recognize innovative products, software, training, and services for maintenance, reliability, and asset management.
Bentley’s ContextCapture was recognized in the Asset Condition Management, Work Execution Management, Leadership for Reliability, and Asset Management categories. It won Best Overall Solution for the ease of which 3D models can be created to capture the as-operated asset state, and then capture the knowledge of the retiring workforce within the asset’s reliability program, making training and asset maintenance knowledge transfer easier. The 3D model forms the basis of the immersive visual operation for a more engaging graphical day-to-day experience in managing assets.
Who:
Francois Valois, Senior Director, Software Development, Reality Modeling
Sandra DiMatteo, Director of Marketing, Asset Performance
Where:

Hexagon Safety & Infrastructure has selected Microsoft Azure as the cloud platform for its next-generation public safety and security products. These products will help to radically reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) for mission-critical IT and enable public safety agencies and security operators to adapt to changing needs faster and more effectively.
Hexagon’s new software-as-a-service (SaaS) products will enable customers to provision public safety and security solutions without complex hardware and software procurements. Having been built natively on Azure, Hexagon’s public safety and security products will take advantage of Azure’s platform-as-a-service (PaaS) to expedite development and deliver better capabilities than applications built from generic code and hosted in the cloud.
“The public safety and security industries are in transition, and they need partners and systems they can trust to help them adapt to new threats and growing demands,” said Kalyn Sims, chief technology officer, Hexagon Safety & Infrastructure. “Microsoft Azure provides options for public, private and hybrid clouds, which support the varying stages of cloud adoption across organizations. Currently, Azure has more regions and the most comprehensive compliance certifications of any public cloud provider making it an ideal foundation on which Hexagon can build its task-focused public safety and physical security applications.”
Hexagon will release its first SaaS product later this year for physical security and monitoring. Hexagon’s next-generation public safety and security applications will deliver improved performance, usability and flexibility. Informed by extensive user experience research, they will feature highly productive, easy-to-use interfaces and workflows that are simple to deploy and maintain via Azure.
“Microsoft Azure provides Hexagon with a robust and secure platform for it to help public safety agencies and security operators adapt to a rapidly changing industry,” said Nicole Herskowitz, senior director of product marketing, Azure, Microsoft Corp. “As organizations continue to transition critical services to the cloud, we are pleased to support Hexagon and see its commitment to Azure.”
A global leader in public safety and security, Hexagon Safety & Infrastructure helps protect 1 in 12 people worldwide. Hexagon’s public safety and security solutions improve the quality, accuracy and availability of critical information, increasing performance and productivity, while reducing the total cost of ownership for mission-critical IT investments.

Hexagon Safety & Infrastructure has launched Intergraph InSight Reporting, a platform for quickly building and sharing interactive public safety agency reports and dashboards. It delivers data models and pre-built reports for Intergraph Computer-Aided Dispatch (I/CAD) and also connects to third-party data sources.
Unveiled at HxGN LIVE, Hexagon’s international conference, Intergraph InSight Reporting removes the reliance on specialist data management and analysis skills to prepare source data and develop reports, reducing costs and enabling agencies to respond quicker to their stakeholders’ needs. It increases awareness and improves communication through clear reports delivered automatically or on demand. It also delivers deeper insight by leveraging multiple data sources without additional licensing fees and restrictions.
“Agencies hold a great deal of data in their public safety systems. But they struggle to extract and share information to better understand and address complex issues,” said Steve Marz, vice president of product management, Hexagon Safety & Infrastructure. “Intergraph InSight Reporting provides an ideal platform to organize information comprehensively into interactive reports and dashboards. It makes reporting much simpler and easier.”
Intergraph InSight Reporting features more than 25 pre-built, standard reports. Users can also build custom dashboards and a wide variety of interactive reports, leveraging Microsoft Report Builder and Power BI. The application seamlessly populates data from I/CAD, and users can easily integrate third-party data sources into their custom reports and dashboards.

Zatímco družice Sentinel-3A systému GMES/Copernicus pokračuje na oběžné dráze ve sběru informací o naší rodné planetě, technici intenzivně pracují na jejím dvojčeti. Sentinel-3B nyní prochází sérií náročných zkoušek před tím, než bude v příštím roce odeslaný na kosmodrom.

The European GNSS Agency (GSA) formally received the keys to the Galileo Reference Centre (GRC) from the Dutch government at a handover ceremony in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, on 12 June.
As part of the ceremony, a key declaration document was signed by GSA Executive Director Carlo des Dorides and Bart van Bolhuis, Director of International Affairs at the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment. The signing ceremony was followed by a presentation on Galileo and the role of the GRC in the Galileo architecture.
This largely ceremonial event means that the GSA now formally has access to the GRC building to install equipment and prepare the facilities for operations. The full right of use of the GRC will be granted to the GSA upon final acceptance of the building by the European Commission and the GSA.
Speaking at the ceremony, des Dorides said that the GSA appreciates the efforts made by the Netherlands to ensure that the GRC building will be of high quality, well prepared to handle the tasks entrusted to it now and in the future.
Watch This: GSA ready for Initial Services
“With the GRC in Noordwijk, the GSA will have a state of the art facility next to the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC), stimulating both agencies to work more closely together, which is exactly the reason why this location for the GRC was selected,” des Dorides said.

In his speech at the event, van Bolhuis highlighted the effectiveness of cooperation so far. “Thanks to excellent cooperation by all parties we are able to stand here only eight months after the first brick to hand over the key for this future center of excellence of the GSA,” he said.
Following the declaration of Galileo Initial Services in December, the GRC will play a pivotal role in the provision of Galileo services, providing the GSA with independent monitoring of and reporting on Galileo’s performance. In doing so, it will help ensure the provision of high-quality satellite data so users can better rely on and benefit from Galileo.
