■ About Nefront

Nefront uses AI and AR to make the information in a building easy to see and use.
IndooAR, our spatial information management system, uses image recognition to work out where you are — even indoors, where GPS barely reaches. From there it can guide you, show you AR content, and keep track of information and equipment.
We also offer Filefront, an AI drawing search service. It finds the sheet you need out of a large set of PDF drawings, by drawing type or by keyword.
