There are many advantages to maintaining facility data over time — especially when a manufacturing company is interested in remodeling parts of their factory or making layout changes for production purposes.
Having 3D facility data can be the difference between a smooth remodel and one where you’re constantly coordinating with suppliers who need to come to your plant “ten times a day to measure, and are calling you every day” for information, according to Sune Eriksson of Parker Hannifin.
Even a modest project can generate an incredible amount of data, and traceable 3D target-based laser scanning excels in situations like this — using specialized mounted targets to provide fixed anchor points for repeatable scan alignment. This ensures that even when there are changes to a physical environment, historical scan data can be maintained.
Manufacturing is a realm of constant change and innovation. It demands solutions that are as dynamic as the industry itself.
