Propeller acquires Spacesium Propeller acquires Spacesium to automate daily mining and aggregates workflows and advance AI-driven safety

Big news 🚀

We’re thrilled to welcome the Spacesium team to the Propeller family!

By bringing their expertise on board, we’re doubling down on our mission to make mines and quarries safer and more efficient.

For our customers, this means:
✅ Faster paths from digital models to real-world decisions through AI-powered workflows and tools
✅ Safer, more compliant operations for your entire crew

This is a major step forward in turning the map into a real-time command center for your worksite. We’re so excited to have this talented team helping us map the way forward.

🌍From tracking stockpile volumes to monitoring environmental change and construction progress, we’ve been pushing the boundaries with LiDAR and photogrammetry to make site updates easier to understand. 🌍📊

At Spacesium, we’ve spent over a decade in robotics, GIS, and LiDAR, and we’re excited to open up beta access to our new Space Change Detection Toolbox (SCDT) – built to make multi-scan reporting fast and PDF-able!

Here’s what’s inside:
✅ Consistency – Our in-house engine classifies point clouds with reliable, accurate results using custom-built algorithms.
✅ Compatibility – Built by GIS experts, the tool solves tough challenges in aligning, merging, and standardizing diverse datasets.
✅ Flexibility – We support I/O from all major sensors, including and more.
✅ Data Interoperability - Not just Automated PDFs, but we export and API all exports ( shape files, DXF, rasters, and CSV datapoints)

How to use spatial software to measure designs and if roads are maintained? 🌏 🚧⚒️

The Spacesium team behind the Scout3D platform has released a new software tool to monitor, measure and managing haul roads for performance and safety. 🦺

🕐We understand how road design is developed, to the functional maintenance and how these can interplay with design, operation and optimal performance.

Our inhouse software developers solved this problem. We have released Road Safety Compliance Tool (RSCT) to:

✅ Auto-Detect the Road (Early Beta)
✅ Auto-Detect Bund Wall Heights
✅ Auto-Detect Land Widths
✅ Auto-Detect Road Grades
✅ Auto-Detect Lane Crossfall
✅ Auto-Detect Intersection Water Pooling
✅ Auto-Detect Lane Drainage

By leveraging your current 3D point clouds and design files, you can run the RSCT tool over your site and automate your road reports. 📑

We have released version 1.8.5.30 of Spacesium Scout 3D 🍰

In this release we have revisited and simplified many of the core features of our product (something we will continue to do on our future releases). Keep the feedback coming!

💿💾 Change Detection Analysis - Compare changes in point clouds between two point clouds (either LiDAR, Photogrammetry and/or Designs)

✉ Labelling Annotations - More dynamic labels that interact with the map. Improved display of points, lines and text.

🌏Contour Import - Allows for importing and sharing of 3D contours from other software packages - CAD DXF and zipped ESRI shape files

Also more fixes 🐞added to the list!
✅Clip function refinement - fix for the clipping tool
✅Home location fix - home function works with default map
✅Demo project bars - all bars are working on the demo projects
✅Left panel fix - All panels on the left can now be stretched out
✅Point file fix - Can now import ESRI shapefiles as points
✅Share file fix - can view external projects without signup
✅Added EPSG fix - files for design files can be used with EPSG codes
✅Saving Map Style - base map will be saved automatically

Another fantastic Brisbane Geospatial Network event in the books!

Last night’s BGN gathering was a huge success, bringing together a room full of people from diverse industries and career stages. The energy was incredible, and the connections made will no doubt lead to exciting collaborations in the future.

A highlight of the evening was the keynote from Hong Tran who shared his journey from GIS Technician to entrepreneur. His story was both inspiring and practical - showing that with curiosity and persistence career paths in geospatial can take unexpected and rewarding turns.

A special shoutout to those who traveled long distances to be with us, including attendees from New Zealand, Townsville, the Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast! It was great to see such a strong commitment to growing and strengthening the geospatial community.

Speaking of the Sunshine Coast, a big thanks to Justin Annesley and Jasmine Vreugdenburg, who made the trip from Maroochydore (!) to share an exciting opportunity funded by Advance Queensland. If you missed it, let us know and we will send you more info. BGN encourages our members to explore this initiative - it’s a great way to gain support and accelerate new ideas!

A big thank you to everyone who joined us. These events wouldn’t be what they are without the enthusiasm and generosity of this amazing community.

Looking forward to the next one - see you there! 🚀

At Spacesium we have been shipping code with Amazon Web Services (AWS) for over 5 years now 🧑‍🚀✈️

This week, we just got approved to join Microsoft's ecosystem to support developing code on the Microsoft Azure ☁️🌧️⛅💻

Now we build on both and cloud infrastructure❤️‍🔥

We are officially taking a break from the 22nd December to the 6th of January 🚀🎆🎄

Have a good break and see ya all in #2025!
