Future designs with intelligent solutions
The successful (re)design of a modern factory and its production
processes requires collaboration of very diverse teams. Preliminary
designs or the remodeling of existing plants will be done
faster, with less risk and be more cost efficient through
an accurate 3D-Model. The Virtual 3D-Factory will considerably
enhance communication among planning teams and reassure efficiency
and effectiveness of these teams.
Currently the 3D-As-Built-Analysis of factories is still performed
with the most simple tools such as measuring tapes, Laser-Distance-Meters
or time consuming total station measurements. Digitizing a
complete factory is thus still extremely expensive, time consuming
and prone to error.
Faster, less risk and more cost efficient
Working with our 'state of the art' FARO 3D-Laserscanner LS880 HE80 enables accurate and high speed capturing 'as-built' situations
and allows direct transformation of the real factory geometry
to a digital 3D representation in a computer.
Globalize your Factory Geometry!
The realistic 3D-Geometry of your factory will be available
to all members of the distributed planning teams worldwide.
One master model for all participating planners will virtually
eliminate any misunderstandings, reduce traveling and minimise
labour intensive manual measurements. All the individual teams
can now create one united consistent result, where everything
fits in the first time. Difficult projects will turn into
success stories.
Estimated Cost benefits (based on customer survey):
100 m euro
Investment
10 m euro
Increased costs due to intransparency
1 m euro
Added cost and time due to intransparency, collisions,organisational
problems and design faults
3-4 m euro
Benefits due to Real Virtuality
According to a customer survey consequent application of
the Virtual 3D-Factory 30 - 40 % of the added costs and time
in projects can be saved.
Collision Detection
Comprehensive 3D-Data is the basis for collision detection.
Up to 2% costs relative to the factory investment may be gained
through collision detection.
Change Management and Documentation
The presentation of Reality and Planning Data in one united
3D-Model allows comprehensive Change Management. The connection
of time to the 3D-Data Acquisition as well as to the 3D-CAD-Planning
(4D) will improve integration between teams and make tight
controls possible. At the same time the digital 3D-fingerprint
of the actual factory situation will eliminate all legal discussions
- when were installations made and where.
