The services being provided only make sense when the technology and equipment is understood in its business context. A brief industry background is provided below.
The world is quickly becoming digital in nearly every aspect of life. We have seen industrial equipment and machinery go from mechanical and analog to digital. The telephone is an excellent example of a transition from the pulse rotary phone to wireless digital in only a few short years. We have examples in cars, manufacturing, facilities management, information management and so on. The field of engineering and design was once enamored by the slide rule now they use the electronic calculator with staggeringly useful software.
A major part of most engineering is the acquisition and analysis of field measurements. It is essential to have as much accurate information of existing conditions as is economically and humanly possible. The current standard in many industries is to still make manual measurements using scales, tape measures, or conventional survey equipment. These measurement are used in conjunction with paper sketches to draft, using CAD software, every detail as accurately as possible. This method lacks efficiency and effectiveness particularly with large scale projects or facilities. Many areas are inaccessible and unsafe in which to take measurements. It is in answer to this problem that this breakthrough technology of 3D laser scanning was born.
