ScanManager

The ScanManager 4.5 Software is a powerful and practice-oriented tool for professional users to view, analyse, and manage monochrome and colour scans from high definition 3D laser scanners. The ScanManager makes you independent from service providers by offering you the opportunity to generate the data management system of your scan projects yourself.

ScanManager Anwendungsgebiete:

Architektur

2D-Plans: 

The ScanManager software offers the opportunity to generate horizontal, vertical, and any inclined point cloud slices. Several paralell running point cloud slices can be overlaid and consequently compared. You can import DXF data or VRML data into the ScanManger and then you can compare them with the point cloud slices. At the same time the DXF layer structure will be retained. 

3D Models:

A 2D and/or 3D variance analysis of scan data and CAD data is possible within the ScanManager.

Construction Supervision | Construction Process Documentation 

The ScanManager features can be utilised also in checking quality and in documenting the separate stages of a construction process. You can make measurements, analyses, and appraisals directly in a scan without any need of time-consuming modelling, so that you can identify on time imperfections within the execution of construction work and eliminate them with little costs. 

Facility Management

Helpful features constitute ScanManager as a useful tool for successful Computer Aided Facility Management (CAFM) in areas like the following:

• Floor-Space Management
• Building Services
• Operation and Maintenance
• Planning und Project Management
• Quality Assessment and Innovation
• Project and Reconstruction Management
• Object Data Bases

 

Robotics 

Actual State Documentation 

Accurate-to-the-millimetre scan data of industrial buildings, machines, robot cells, and/or other facilities are produced and made available via the 3D laser scanning documentation of the actual state. That way all participants in the planning process can carry out their tasks directly at their PCs and can be interlinked within workflows. In turn the availability of the needed data can be secured at the right moment, with the right detailing, and in the right context. Thus not only purchase costs for spare parts and equipment are reduced but also significant advantages in terms of maintenance, flexibility, and reliability are obtained. 

 Variance Analysis (Scan+VRML)

A 2D and/or 3D variance analysis of scan data and CAD data is possible within the ScanManager.

Civil Engineering and Plant Engineering and Construction

ScanManager is utilised with great success in the scan management of large-scale projects within diverse areas of civil engineering and of plant engineering and construction:

• Airports
• Power Plants
• Refineries | Chemical Industry
• Ship Building and Ship Repair
• Tunnelling

Protection of Historical Buildings and Monuments

The 3D Laser Scanning Technology makes it possible to quickly and with accuracy to the millimetre execute survey and rescue of relics, artefacts, tombs, and historical buildings. Each layer of earth that has to be removed during archaeological excavations should be scanned in order to document each stage of the entire excavation process. By using ScanManager the scan data are clearly and project-oriented structured.

Nature Protection

Capturing free formed surfaces: The high performance 3D laser scanning technology is deployed where other documenting methods achieve their limits. Highly complex 3D nature forms can be realistically captured and documented via the 3D laser scanning technology.
Also the basis of 2D drawing documentation of complicated nature forms is created by using the capability of ScanManager to generate horizontal, vertical, and any inclined point cloud slices.
