Case Study: Pomerleau saves 20 hours per week with Boston Dynamics Spot and HoloBuilder

Pomerleau saves approximately 20 hours per week by integrating Spot with HoloBuilder's site documentation software on their 500,000 sq.ft. project.

Pomerleau, a leading Canadian construction company, faced a significant challenge in efficiently monitoring the progress of its large-scale construction projects. The task of manually capturing thousands of site images, especially from restricted or dangerous areas, was repetitive and consumed valuable employee resources. Seeking to integrate innovative technology, Pomerleau partnered with Boston Dynamics and utilized their Spot robot to automate this data capture and free up their workforce for higher-value analysis.

The solution involved equipping Boston Dynamics' Spot with a 360-degree camera and integrating it with HoloBuilder's site documentation software. Spot was programmed to autonomously follow a predefined path to capture images outside of work hours. This implementation by Boston Dynamics saved approximately 20 hours of labor per week on a single 500,000 sq.ft. project, which required nearly 5,000 weekly images. The automation of this dull task allowed employees to focus on analysis and contributed to a reduction in overall project delivery time.
