We’re excited to introduce FME Realize, the augmented reality application that brings the spatial computing power of the FME Platform to life. Designed for field workers and mobile teams, FME Realize is powered entirely by FME Form and Flow, delivering real-time, in-context access to data. It lets users experience their data directly in the real world, making information more intuitive, actionable, and immediate.
To showcase the capabilities of FME as a Spatial Computing Platform, we provide a live demo server and ready-to-use workflows so you can immediately experience what's possible with FME Realize. The underground infrastructure demo shows many of the things that can be done to support field workers and is described below.
To help you get started, we’ve set up live examples on FME Flow so you can see what’s possible with FME as a Spatial Computing Platform using FME Realize.
3D Models and Videos: Simply point your device at an asset to view a 3D model with labelled parts. Videos, such as maintenance guides or safety procedures, are included, giving users quick access to supporting content without leaving the app.
Customizable Asset Information: Field workers can inspect assets through a panel in the app. From names and models to heights and weights, asset information is fully customizable through the FME workspace. Users can also control the layout, colours, fonts, and icons for a more flexible user experience.
Optimizing Workflows On-Site
Connecting to IoT Devices: As FME Realize is powered by FME, it can easily connect to IoT-enabled devices, allowing users to fetch and display real-time data on-site. View information like address, pressure, and valve type in context. Users can also leverage FME workspaces to retrieve, transform, and visualize static readings, and improve functionality.
Live Central Database Updates: Whether updating attributes, capturing photos, or adding notes, all edits made are automatically synced with the central database thanks to the power of the FME Platform. Field staff can go beyond viewing and submit updates via forms, enabling everyone in the organization to stay aligned with the latest information.
System Integration – Cityworks and Beyond: FME Realize can connect to any system supported by FME, such as Cityworks and Salesforce, through FME Flow, allowing users to interact with live data like work orders and inspections, all powered by FME workspaces.
AI-Powered Field Support
AI Agents for Audio Reporting: Users can record spoken notes in any language or style, including informal or colloquial speech, and convert them into structured reports. AI incorporates relevant feature attributes and ensures the output is clear, complete, and professionally formatted.
AI Agents for Smart QA Analysis: FME workspaces running on FME Flow connect to AI services that analyze attributes and geometry in context, detecting issues and suggesting improvements. FME Realize shows the results in context in augmented reality.”
Visual Documentation with Photos and Notes: Field staff can capture photos, record observations, and link them to specific assets or locations through a workflow running on FME Flow. Built-in sketching tools allow users to highlight issues directly on images, with AI interpreting these markups into structured, geolocated data. The results are visualized in FME Realize and synced to the central database by FME workspaces for clean, context-aware reporting.
