Streamline how you manage, access, and analyze assets from both Planon and FARO Sphere XG.

Asset management just got easier with the Sphere XG Connector! Integrating the abilities of two digital powerhouses, the Sphere XG Connector allows you and your stakeholders to connect your Planon assets with location-specific reality capture data of your facilities and jobsites.

The key benefits of the integration include:

  • Real-time visualization of your spaces: Link your Planon assets with your reality capture data from Sphere XG to gain a clear, visual context for each asset.
  • Streamlined workflows across datasets: No more switching applications – access and navigate your site captures, annotations, labels, and measurements, directly from within Planon.
  • Data-backed decisions: With remote access to all assets and ongoing project data, verifications, sign-offs, and approvals can be done virtually.

The integration means real-time connection between assets, rooms, and building data with your 3D point cloud scans, 360° photos, and BIM models. With just a few clicks to connect your projects and assets, you can access your spaces in Sphere XG’s interface and interact with location-specific asset information – all from within Planon.

Save your Sphere XG project links in Planon, enabling quick access for coordinating repairs, optimizing space usage, and supporting compliance inspections. The integration ensures stakeholders always have access to reliable, up-to-date building and jobsite context, without unnecessary manual entry or redundant data importing and handling.

Instead of relying on complex, standalone visualization tools, the Sphere XG Connector allows you to harness the full power of your existing Planon data alongside Sphere XG’s advanced environment. Gain immediate awareness through intuitive 3D and 360° navigation, accessing context-rich data, and interacting with environments through all of Sphere XG’s capabilities.

That means having access to all Sphere XG functionalities: measurements, historical progress data, annotations, point cloud analysis, and more. Reduce on-site visits, accelerate operational decisions, and elevate your facility management approach with Sphere XG’s powerful visual interface in just one window.

How It Works

To start syncing your assets with your Sphere XG projects, choose an asset from your Asset List in Planon. Open the Sphere XG Connector to access your Sphere XG projects. Navigate to the specific location of an asset you wish to connect, copy the URL to the location (e.g. through an annotation), click the green Save Sphere XG Link button, and your assets are connected. Watch the video below to see the integration in action.
