CASE STUDY

RATP deployed Wemap Vision to create an immersive 360° viewer of its metro stations. Maintenance teams explore and annotate spaces from their desk, optimising their operator rounds without a prior on-site visit. The reference is updated by a simple recapture.

85%

reduction in field data creation and maintenance costs (Wemap source, rail basis)

< 5 sec

average on-site positioning time — Wemap Vision, low-cost 360° camera

Hours

to create the visual reference for a full industrial site — not months

On-premise

private hosting available — your data stays with you, no cloud dependency

CHALLENGES

Three industry and facility management challenges that Wemap solves.

No spatial reference

"Our field teams have no spatial reference for our sites — every inspection starts from scratch."

Wemap Vision creates a georeferenced 360° viewer of your site in hours of capture with a consumer-grade camera. Visual reference ready in a day, continuously updated.

Reports not geolocated

"Our inspection reports are not geolocated — impossible to quickly find where a reported issue is."

Wemap generates photo reports automatically geolocated on the site map. Annotations and measurements directly from the viewer. Each issue is located to the nearest metre.

Costly digital twin

"Existing digital twin solutions require LIDAR and expensive industrial sensors — out of our budget."

Wemap Vision uses a consumer-grade 360° camera costing a few hundred euros. Same functional accuracy, without the hardware cost or processing overhead. Accessible to all site sizes.

CAPABILITIES

The Wemap capabilities that make the difference in Industry & Facility Management.

360° viewer & site spatial reference

Low-cost 360° site capture in hours (consumer camera). Georeferenced interactive viewer: visual space navigation, zoom, annotations, measurements. Continuously updated by simple recapture. Secure data: private cloud or on-premise, 100% operator ownership. Standard formats for full reversibility.

For RATP — 360° viewer of metro stations for maintenance, space exploration and annotation by operator teams.

AI detection & localised equipment inventory

Prompt-based search engine (Vision Language Model) on the 360° reference: find equipment, signage or an object by text description. Possible AI model training on your business objects (YOLO, DINO, Segment Anything). Automatically geolocated inspection reports. QR code link for field identification.

For Galeries Lafayette — VLM (Vision Language Model) engine to locate brands, products and equipment by image, 3D annotations and measurements.

Frequently asked questions

Wemap Vision captures your site with a consumer 360° camera (Ricoh Theta, Insta360). Capture takes a few hours. The georeferenced reference is generated automatically and can be updated by simply recapturing modified areas.
Yes. Wemap offers on-premise or private EU cloud hosting. 360° images and the spatial model never leave your environment. This option is available for sensitive industrial sites, SEVESO, defence and critical infrastructure.
The Vision Language Model (VLM) engine lets you type a natural language description ("red fire extinguisher near staircase B") and instantly find the equipment on the 360° reference. AI models can be trained on your specific business objects.
Wemap generates geolocated photo reports on the site map. Field teams annotate and photograph directly from the viewer. Reports include the exact position, photos and annotations. Exportable as PDF or via API to your CMMS.
Wemap Vision costs 85% less in field data creation and maintenance than an equivalent LIDAR solution (Wemap source, rail basis). A consumer 360° camera costs a few hundred euros versus tens of thousands for a LIDAR scanner.
