Bentley Acceleration Initiatives launches OpenTower iQ

Bentley Acceleration Initiatives has announced the availability of OpenTower iQ, a digital twin solution for telecom towers that provide 3D visualisation, real-time decision support and predictive design. OpenTower iQ is the result of a digital co-venture between Bentley and Visual Intelligence, a Houston-based sensor technology company, and Aeroprotechnik, an aerial inspection engineering company based in Viseu, Portugal.

Tower companies can use OpenTower iQ to monitor the health of their towers and gain access to shared, secured data through a portal. Improved accuracy of tower inspections and smart inventory management should save time and money while improving safety. The technology includes artificial intelligence and reality-modelling capabilities on current site conditions.

Visual Intelligence’s dual-sensor drone technology digitalises physical infrastructure with millimetre accuracy to deliver 3D, engineering-grade asset intelligence.
