The key terms around 3D laser scanning, layout validation and set-out – explained clearly and without jargon. So you know what we are talking about.
A millimetre-accurate, three-dimensional image of your hall from millions of individual measurement points. It is created during the 3D laser scan and forms the verified reality of your facility – the shared data basis for all further planning steps.
The actual built state of a facility – as opposed to "as-planned", the intended target state. In most halls the two differ significantly, because conversions and retrofits rarely end up in the plans. CorVec always works with the as-built state.
The digital check of a planned layout for spatial conflicts – for example when a new machine collides with a pipe, a traffic route or a safety clearance. Done digitally, conflicts surface in the planning phase, not during installation.
The systematic check of a target layout for feasibility: collisions, safety clearances, traffic routes and accessibility. Often several variants are compared to find the best solution before it is implemented.
A motorised precision instrument (e.g. Trimble Ri) that transfers planned positions into the real hall to the millimetre. It "finds" reference points automatically and marks axes, foundations and machine locations – the basis for collision-free installation.
The transfer of an approved, digital layout into the physical hall. Reference points, axes and foundation positions are marked precisely, so installation teams work on unambiguous, verified positions.
A contactless measurement method in which a laser scanner (e.g. Trimble X9) captures its surroundings in seconds from millions of points. The result is a point cloud. The scan usually runs during ongoing operations, without interrupting production.
A fixed, clearly defined point in the hall that serves as a reference for all measurements and set-outs. Clean reference points ensure that the digital plan and the real hall match exactly.
Documentation is considered audit-proof if it cannot be altered unnoticed afterwards and remains traceable at all times. At CorVec, every project phase – validation, approval, set-out – is documented in an audit-proof way and is defensible in case of dispute.
"Greenfield" refers to planning on undeveloped land (new build), "brownfield" to planning within existing structures – that is, in a hall already in use. Brownfield projects are more demanding, because the real environment has to be captured exactly. That is exactly what CorVec is built for.
