July 2025
Inaccurate layouts and outdated documentation delay projects, increase safety risks, and drain resources, especially in complex process manufacturing environments. But digitizing your facility doesn’t have to be difficult or disruptive.
This practical guide outlines a simple 3-step approach to reality capture that’s fast to implement and scalable across your enterprise. Learn how process manufacturers are using digital 3D models to streamline project planning, reduce on-site risk, and collaborate more efficiently.
What's inside?
- Prepare for the scan: Plan your scan to avoid disruption. Clear access routes, check lighting, and flag sensitive areas to ensure smooth and secure data capture.
- Capture your facility: Use NavVis wearable scanners to digitize your site in a day, with real-time feedback and minimal training needed for internal teams.
- Put your scan to work: Upload to NavVis IVION to visualize layouts, detect spatial conflicts, and plan with greater speed and confidence across teams and contractors.
