UPPER SADDLE RIVER, N.J. — EarthCam has unveiled its most advanced integration yet with Autodesk Construction Cloud®, introducing new tools powered by AI and 3D model alignment to strengthen safety, compliance, and productivity for construction teams.
The announcement was made during Autodesk University 2025, where EarthCam highlighted its ninth-generation integration as a milestone in its long-standing collaboration with Autodesk. The upgrade is designed to deepen the vision of connected construction, providing project managers, VDC teams, and safety professionals with real-time, intelligent visual data directly embedded into Autodesk Build and Autodesk Docs.
With the launch of Control Center 9, EarthCam’s platform now unifies live imagery, BIM model alignment, and AI-driven analytics into a seamless experience. Teams gain immediate access to searchable visual insights, ensuring decision-makers can verify progress, track compliance, and resolve issues faster than ever.
3D Model Alignment Across All Projects
A standout feature of this release is universal 3D model alignment. For the first time, EarthCam’s “camera-infused” BIM model views are available across all Autodesk-integrated projects, regardless of scope or size.
By combining panoramic construction site images with as-designed Revit or Navisworks models, users can create an interactive “x-ray” perspective of their project. From a single interface, stakeholders can pan, tilt, and zoom through EarthCam camera feeds while comparing them against digital twin models. This allows for early detection of deviations, enabling teams to avoid costly rework and delays.
AI-Generated Reports and Jobsite Intelligence
EarthCam also rolled out automated AI-generated jobsite reports, which are now directly uploaded into Autodesk Docs or Forms. These reports include:
- Weather conditions
- Workforce activity
- Material deliveries
- Key work milestones
EarthCam’s AI engine identifies more than 85 object categories, such as heavy machinery, PPE, and building materials, turning raw video into actionable, timestamped documentation. This not only enhances compliance but also provides a visual audit trail for owners and regulators.
AI Material Analysis for Real-Time Tracking
For the first time, Autodesk users gain access to AI Material Analysis, a feature that leverages real-time video and machine learning to detect and classify more than 30 types of construction materials. The system flags whether items are delivered, staged, or installed, feeding this data into Autodesk dashboards for accurate work-in-place tracking.
By bridging visual verification with project scheduling, this tool enables just-in-time deliveries and more reliable sequencing. For contractors, this reduces waste, minimizes downtime, and ensures teams stay ahead of potential supply chain disruptions.
Advancing the Connected Construction Ecosystem
“This ninth-generation integration is our most comprehensive yet, providing Autodesk users with a complete visual intelligence platform,” EarthCam stated. The company emphasized that these updates align with Autodesk’s mission of connected construction by offering greater context, clarity, and collaboration to project workflows.
Whether teams are validating progress, documenting milestones, or resolving safety concerns, EarthCam’s visual solutions now serve as a core layer of construction intelligence within Autodesk’s ecosystem.
