Plex.Earth Timeviews™ empowers AEC professionals with the latest satellite imagery within AutoCAD

Plexscape, developers of Plex.Earth®, one of the most popular tools for AutoCAD for the acceleration of architectural, engineering and construction (AEC) projects, launched Timeviews™, a unique service in the global AEC market, which makes the most up-to-date satellite imagery affordable and easily accessible within AutoCAD.

Following a strategic partnership with Bird.i, a company that combines the latest satellite imagery and artificial intelligence to provide valuable insights, Plex.Earth Timeviews opens up access to the very latest satellite imagery from the world's leading commercial satellite providers: Maxar Technologies / DigitalGlobe, Airbus and Planet – Introducing a unique pricing model: Any AEC professional can now have unlimited instant access to Timeviews premium satellite data for better planning through highly affordable monthly or yearly Plex.Earth subscriptions.

Until today, the use of commercial satellite imagery came with high cost, significant delays, and the requirement of a certain level of expertise to process and analyze the data. Additionally, free satellite imagery is often out of date, of low quality, and does not always provide sufficient permissions for commercial use or the creation of derivative works. Drones and ground surveys, on the other hand, require on-site presence, which induces delays and equipment mobilization costs, and are subject to other possible restrictions (unsuitable weather, drone-free flight zones, etc.) .

Plex.Earth Timeviews ends these limitations by democratizing access to high-quality, up-to-date satellite imagery within AutoCAD, and soon other CAD platforms. With easy and instant access to premium satellite data, AEC professionals can have the most up-to-date view of their target area to better understand your project environment, make informed decisions, and avoid costly mistakes, right from the start of the design process.
In addition, Timeviews allows companies of any size to monitor the progress of their ongoing projects (and those of the competition), see how an area of ​​interest evolves over time or assess the real impact of natural disasters on work sites .

“Ten years ago, as a civil engineer, I got a taste of the true cost of rework, which led me to develop a tool that directly connected to AutoCAD and Google Earth,” said Lambros Kaliakatsos, founder and CEO of Plexscape. “Plex.Earth is now in its fourth generation, and our vision remains the same: to eliminate the need for on-site engineers for conceptual planning and preliminary design of your projects. Timeviews™, our new premium service, goes one step further in this goal, as it opens up access to the world's latest satellite imagery and the valuable insights it brings to absolutely everyone for the first time.”
