Manufacturing facilities often retool for new products. As a result, assembly lines are reconstructed to accommodate new processes.
Conducting a 3D laser scan of the existing facility provides the information needed to develop accurate plans and models of the existing structure with complete structural, MEP/FP and process equipment. With this information in hand, the design of a new assembly procedure can be completed with ease. Even the individual machinery components can be scanned and recreated in a virtual world so that a complete 3D model of the facility and process line can be assembled prior to actual construction.
