3D laser scanning in Warehouse
Colbond is a leading producer of high-quality synthetic
nonwovens for flooring, automotive, and construction applications,
and three-dimensional polymeric mats and composites for civil
engineering, building and industrial applications.
Products are temporarily stored in a high flow warehouse
of 20.000m2. The content frequently changes and varies in
dimensions. This requires accurate calculations of the available
capacity. In addition, an accurate floorplan was requested
by local authorities.
Within two days on site, a complete ‘as-built capture’
was made through 3D-laser scanning. Scans were connected to
one model and were translated into an accurate and actual
floorplan by means of “slicing”. The resulting
plan revealed the need for significant changes in the existing
drawing. With the available FaroScout software Colbond employees
can view scans, measure and calculate the capacity of all
warehouse locations from behind their desk.
