PN 022516-473 (08/19) HoloLens and Catalyst enable Enedis technicians to visualize the location of underground electric lines. Reliable positioning is essential to accurate locations. By using the Trimble solution, XXII didn't need to change their application. They simply collected the positions from the Android OS and passed the information to the HoloLens via Bluetooth. In addition to streamlining the development effort, the approach will enable XXII to provide a simple workflow for users not familiar with GNSS positioning. NEXT STEPS TO SUCCESS Testing on the proof of concept went well. XXII demonstrated that they could convert data from the Enedis 2D maps into 3D georeferenced coordinates and combine that information with the Catalyst data in HoloLens. "The first tests were very interesting for us and Enedis," said David Saint-Macaire. "The Catalyst system provided accuracy between 2 and 8 centimeters." Enedis is encouraged as well. "We are currently satisfied with the first results," said Nadir el Abadi. "To date, we have saved 25 percent of the time on an intervention; I believe the next evolution of the solution might enable us to save 50 percent of the time or more." The compact Trimble DA1 antenna enables high-accuracy real- time GNSS positioning for Catalyst and the Enedis application.
