Food plants planned with precision thanks to 3D scan technology

We work with high resolution point clouds and real view data to combine existing spaces with planned equipment. This makes structural elements visible early, simplifies installation planning, and improves project communication.

In the Business Field Food, we have been successfully using 3D scans for several years to adapt our plant designs precisely and efficiently to on-site conditions. This technology helps us plan complex projects with even greater accuracy and simplifies coordination with our customers.

How does it work?
Before a plant is designed, the designated installation area is captured in 3D at the customer's site by a specialized service provider. This process generates high-resolution point clouds, supplemented by a photorealistic representation of the entire space.
The resulting data is then processed using modern software and combined with the 3D model of the planned plant. The result is a so-called “married layout” – a combination of the real environment and the planned technology.

What are the benefits?
The detailed representation allows us to identify and take into account structural elements such as steel beams, pipelines, or existing equipment at an early stage. Potential obstacles or necessary wall openings also become visible.
This not only facilitates the planning of plant installation – in terms of space requirements, access routes, or maneuvering areas – but also improves communication throughout the project. The realistic visualization makes technical details easier to understand for everyone involved.
1. Clarity: Realistic visuals reveal obstacles early.
2. Efficiency: Smooth planning of space and access.
3. Alignment: Improved communication across the project.

Conclusion
The use of 3D scans has become an integral part of our project planning. It helps us implement technical solutions with greater precision – efficiently, transparently, and tailored to the specific installation environment.
