Zephr for Trimble · Dimensions 2026 · Las Vegas

Navigation where GNSS stops.
Every crew on time, in the right place.

Zephr turns Trimble X9, MX60 and MX90 scans into a positioning map, then guides workers from the yard to the part. Open a BCF topic in Trimble Connect Mobile and the app routes you there, GNSS outdoors, visual positioning indoors, one continuous fix.

Why it matters

Schedule is everything.

40%
of a craft worker's paid hour is spent building.

CII time studies put direct work at 35 to 45 percent of a craft hour. The rest is travel, waiting, searching and rework. On a large indoor site, much of that is finding the right place.

The integration

Trimble in. Trimble out. Zephr in between.

You only need one fix from the yard to deep indoors. Your existing Trimble reality scans become the map and your BCF topics are all navigable.

01 · Trimble in

Scan the site

Capture with Trimble X9, MX60 or MX90 and export the E57. No new capture, no survey control beyond what you already have.

Scan to map

Zephr converts Trimble e57 files into a visual positioning map, a 3D model with parts, and a walk network for routing to any element in your BIM.

03 · Trimble out

Route to the part

In Trimble Connect Mobile, pick a part or open a BCF topic and push it to Zephr. The worker gets turn-by-turn guidance, GNSS outdoors and visual positioning indoors, with the part shown in 3D.

Four sites, one pipeline

Scan to map to navigation.

Every demo below runs on the same engine and the same app. Scans from a Trimble X9 became the positioning map. Nothing was re-captured for navigation.

01 · South Africa · mixed indoor and outdoor

Rustenburg Acid Conversion Plant

A Trimble Connect topic on a sulfuric acid pump becomes a route. The topic opens the Zephr app and guides the worker across the plant to the pump.

02 · Idaho Springs, Colorado · underground

Edgar Mine

Second underground site on the same pipeline. No GNSS at all. The scan is the map, and the worker is routed through the drifts with the 3D model alongside the camera view.

03 · Denver International Airport · outdoor to indoor

Denver Airport

Outdoor to indoor handoff across the terminal. GNSS carries the fix to the door, visual positioning carries it inside. Same engine, same app, a very different building.

04 · Flatirons, Colorado · indoor to outdoor · one fix

Same app, same fix.

Indoor to outdoor and back on one continuous fix. The same app a shopper, a facilities tech or a contractor would carry.

After handover

The owner keeps the map.

The scan that built it runs the building for decades. Humans today and robots tomorrow.

Build · 2 yrs
Operate · 30+ yrs

Operations

Work orders with a location, indoors and out.

Maintenance

Technicians routed straight to the asset.

Tenants and visitors

Turn-by-turn navigation inside the building.

Same scan. No new capture.

Zephr is a finalist in the Trimble 0-60 Challenge. If you run Trimble Mobile Mapping and Trimble Connect on your sites, we would like to show you the integration on your own scan.

What we will have at Dimensions

  • The Zephr Indoor app on a phone, running on a Trimble X9 scan
  • The Trimble Connect plugin: pick a part, get a route
  • The four field demos above, plus the pipeline that built them
  • A conversation about your sites and your scans
