Laser Scanning to As- Built Digital Twin

Our Laser Scanning to As-Built Digital Twin service utilizes cutting-edge technology to deliver precise 3D models and robust asset management solutions. We begin by employing advanced laser scanning techniques to capture highly accurate point cloud data of your facilities. This data is then visualized through Leica Truviews and AVEVA Bubble Views, providing comprehensive insights into the scanned environment.

The point clouds are transformed into detailed, intelligent 3D models using AVEVA E3D Design. This process includes updating outdated P&IDs and isometrics with actual plant data and integrating various plant components such as piping, equipment, and instrumentation. We also digitalize all 2D plant documents, creating intelligent isometrics and general arrangement drawings.

Our service supports digital transformation through the AVEVA Digital Twin, enhancing operational efficiency, reducing costs, and providing ongoing CAPEX and OPEX benefits. By integrating real-time data with our digital models, we enable improved visibility, operational control, and reduced unplanned downtime, ultimately driving innovation and productivity in plant management.
