Trimble Pushes AI Integration and Platform Connectivity at Major Conference

Construction technology giant Trimble is making AI a core part of its strategy, announcing major platform expansions and AI-powered tools at its annual Dimensions user conference in Las Vegas. The company demonstrated how artificial intelligence is now deeply integrated across its construction workflows, moving beyond experimental features to practical, money-saving applications.

Key Platform and AI Developments

At the Nov. 10-12 conference attended by 4,000 industry professionals, Trimble unveiled several significant updates:

• Expanded Trimble Marketplace with over 100 verified integrations for third-party software connectivity, specifically automating workflows for Trimble Connect cloud collaboration and ProjectSight project management platforms
• AI Studio launch in 2026 that will allow users to develop custom AI agents, demonstrated through a submittal review AI agent co-developed with contractor Hensel Phelps
• Mine Insights application launching by end of 2025, providing AI-powered analytics for mining and quarrying that could benefit heavy civil construction projects

Real-World Results Already Showing

JE Dunn Construction is seeing impressive returns from Trimble's AI integration. Chief Information Officer John Jacobs reported that using Trimble Connect workflows helped the firm achieve 20% savings in concrete foundation placements, saving approximately 700 cubic yards of concrete through their self-perform teams.

Mark Schwartz, Trimble's senior VP for AECO solutions, emphasized that the company has been building toward this AI integration for five years. "We always had the data from the field, and connecting it to the office and round-tripping it back out to the field was always our goal," he explained.

The company's advantage lies in its comprehensive data collection from surveys, site scans, and point solutions that feed into back-office systems for design and redesign decisions.
