Case study

Forum Virium Helsinki partnered with LumiDB to facilitate a technology pilot for the City of Helsinki’s Urban Environment Division. The initiative replaced manual hard drive shipments with API-driven data streaming, demonstrating how a centralized database improves security and accessibility for city planners.

Infrakit partnered with LumiDB to turn drone and LiDAR scans into actionable field measurements. By replacing file-based workflows with a database built for large point clouds, the team can complete depth and distance checks directly from the office. The approach is at least 50% faster than traditional site-based methods and produces more consistent documentation for regulatory requirements.

The City of Helsinki’s GIS Centre partnered with LumiDB to test whether its growing archive of point-cloud data could be made broadly usable through browser-based access. The pilot showed faster loading, simpler workflows, and reduced dependency on specialist desktop tools. This case study outlines the problem, the approach, and what changed for planners and GIS teams.

Infrakit partnered with LumiDB to streamline its point-cloud workflows and replace file-based LOD pipeline. The integration delivered faster rendering, sub-second cross-sections, and a simpler, more stable architecture for handling large LiDAR and drone datasets. This case study outlines how the change was implemented and what improved for engineers and end users.
