Success Story | FieldSync Leverages Digital Twins to Improve Tower Inspection Processes

FieldSync Technologies Case Study Overview Organization: FieldSync TechnologiesLocation: Wheat Ridge, Colorado, USA Project Objectives: To digitize data collection and site analytics for lifecycle tower asset management. To establish digital twins to maximize the value of tower site assessments. Products Used: OpenTower iQ Modernizing Tower Inspection and Analysis Workflows In the fast-evolving telecommunications sector, traditional tower inspections are increasingly becoming a bottleneck. Recognizing the need for modernization, CTI Towers partnered with FieldSync Technologies to overhaul their inspection and data collection processes. The result? A 50% reduction in site visits, improved data accuracy, and new avenues for revenue generation—all powered by OpenTower iQ. FieldSync introduced an innovative approach by combining on-site climber data with drone-captured insights, creating comprehensive digital twins of CTI’s tower sites. This integration not only enhanced operational efficiency but also made critical tower data accessible across multiple departments. As Sam McGuire, Founder of FieldSync, puts it, ā€œThis new data format has helped us unlock tremendous cross-functional value from a single site visit. Our partnership with Bentley empowers us to deliver significant value to our customers across the entire supply chain.ā€ This case study highlights the transformative power of digitization in tower asset management, paving the way for smarter, more

Why Engineering is Such a Crucial Step in Tower Maintenance

The global 5G rollout has put pressure on tower owners and carriers to make equipment changes as quickly and inexpensively as possible. Even without the major push for 5G and the tower upgrades that come with it, cell towers need constant changes. Tower repairs and maintenance – including co-locating new tenants, new equipment installation, updating equipment, coverage optimization, and meeting government regulations – are a constant part of the tower lifecycle, and they’re critical to keeping their networks connected.

OpenTower Designer 2024 Has Arrived

Due to the ever-increasing demand for data along with reliable connections, telecom owners are increasingly trying to digitize their workflow to accurately understand available spaces, estimate tower ratings for proposed loading, understand defects and more importantly updating their inventory with as-built information. The current process is manual, labor intensive, and expensive. As telecom infrastructure is now shared by multiple mobile network operators and as tower owners are adopting to 5G evolution, one major telecom company in India looked to its geospatial partner,
