As-Built-
Documen-
tation
|
Existing
factory workshops and industrial plants are sur-
veyed in
detail three-dimensionally. For new buildings,
further
extensions and reconstruction in the future there
are
millimetre exact space co-ordinates available, from
which
two-dimensional construction plans can be drawn.

Semi-auto-
mated
3D
modelling
|
From
the data gathered by the Z+F Laser Measurement
System and
with the LFM
software
developed
by Z+F,
3D models of the actual state of the factory or
plant
(e.g. tubes, steel girders) can be generated.
Further-
more, it is possible to generate complete CAD
models
from the 3D scan data (the so-called point
cloud).

Simulation
/
Collision
Check
|
With
the 3D models it is possible to simulate manufac-
turing
processes and to carry out collision checks. Example:
Another production robot of the same type has to be
added to an existing plant.

Tolerance
Analysis
|
With
the raw 3D data (point clouds) a direct comparison
with
existing CAD models is possible and thus it can
immediately
be seen if there are deviations.

Facility
Management
|
All
fixed equipment like cables or tubes is surveyed as
well
and saved in a 3D database which serves as the
basis for
future reconstruction. This database can be
updated and
extended at any time.

Further
Features
|
The
provided software enables among other things
interpoint
measuring in local or absolute coordinates or
the
integration of 3D data including ground plans and
digital
images.

|
Data
Import /
Data Export
|
Data
exchange with different CAD systems (Micro-
station,
CATIA, PDS, PDMS etc.) as well as many other
file
formats
(ASCII,
VRML etc.) is possible. Thus, the
data can also be made
available for virtual reality appli-
cations.
|
|
Cost
Savings
|
By
using Z+F Laser Measurement Systems in virtual
factory
and industrial plant planning, compromise solutions
and
resulting bottlenecks can be avoided. The down-
times
during the gathering of data are reduced to a
minimum due
to the fast, high-resolution and light-inde-
pendent
surveying.
The potential savings for new buildings and
recon-
struction work have been projected in independent
studies carried out by different automobile
manufacturers
with up to 15% of the overall investment
amount!
