Live Streaming AR Transforms Electrical Layout Oversight

30 June 2025

Precision isn’t optional when it comes to laying out electrical equipment in a hyperscale data center. The smallest misalignment can lead to delays, rework, and significant costs. Traditionally, supervisors rely on periodic updates or physical inspections, often catching issues only after they’ve already affected the schedule.

But on a recent hyperscale data center project, we took a different approach. The crew used XYZ Reality to livestream the entire electrical layout process. Instead of waiting for updates, supervisors could watch the installation unfold in real time, directly from the field or remotely from another location.

This live visibility offered several advantages. Supervisors could immediately verify that electrical equipment was being placed according to the model, eliminating guesswork and minimizing the chance of errors. Any discrepancies between the model and the physical world were spotted and resolved instantly, without halting progress or creating costly rework.

The result was a faster, more accurate layout process. By combining engineering grade augmented reality with live streaming capabilities, teams could make proactive decisions on the fly. It wasn’t just about preventing mistakes - it was about building smarter from the outset.

This shift toward real-time oversight is transforming how complex projects like data centers are delivered. It gives project leaders confidence that the work happening on-site aligns perfectly with design intent, ensuring quality and precision every step of the way.

At XYZ, we believe technology like this isn’t just the future of construction - it’s how to build it right, first time. Discover more here.
