Leica Geosystems Unveils AI Safety Tool

Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon, has launched the Leica Xsight360, a safety awareness system developed in partnership with Presien. Designed for heavy construction vehicles, the system uses multiple cameras and edge-based AI to detect nearby people, vehicles, and objects in real time. Alerts are delivered directly to operators through visual and audible cues, with the goal of reducing on-site accidents and improving situational awareness.

In addition to real-time hazard detection, Leica Xsight360 captures video and alert data that is uploaded to the cloud for further analysis. Using AI, the platform generates safety dashboards and compliance reports within minutes, offering safety professionals rapid insights to identify risks and support informed decision-making. The system is designed to minimise false alarms and blind spots while integrating seamlessly with existing vehicle systems.

“At Leica Geosystems, ensuring the safety of construction professionals is a top priority, especially as the industry advances towards automation. With our partner, we've developed an intelligent, adaptive system that enhances safety in the present with instant alerts and shapes future safety strategies through comprehensive reports,” said Neil Williams, President of Leica Geosystems’ Machine Control division.
