In the era of urban digitalization, Fisotec leads with its innovative SMART inventory, a technological solution redefining urban infrastructure management. Through advanced data capture and processing, Fisotec opens new dimensions in urban planning and maintenance.
Data Capture with Laser Scanner Technology
The heart of our SMART inventory lies in Laser Scanner technology. This technique not only captures data with millimetric precision but also transforms these data into detailed digital twins. These twins, or 3D digital models, are generated through point clouds and are applicable to a wide range of environments, from residential buildings to complex urban infrastructures.
Scan to BIM: A Three-Stage Process
The Scan to BIM process represents a revolution in how we transform raw data into detailed and functional solutions. This technique is not just about capturing information; it’s about bringing data to life, turning it into valuable tools for project planning and execution.
- Field Data Scanning: We start by defining the scanning purpose and the specific locations to scan. This step also includes defining the modeling scope and topographic georeferencing.
- Data Processing: After capture, the data undergo a cleaning and editing process, preparing them for digitization and delivery.
- BIM Modeling: Finally, we analyze the information and generate the model’s geometry using software like Archicad and REVIT, enriching the model with detailed features and attributes, and delivering 3D files to the client in the .ifc format.
Applications and Benefits of SMART Inventory
Our SMART inventory is applied in a variety of projects, from house scans to large constructions like dams, roads, and railways. We offer detailed tracking of construction control, delineation and 3D modeling generation, and BIM services implementation over GIS. The main benefits?
- Increased Efficiency: Our approach significantly streamlines work on point clouds.
- Precise Construction Control: We enable exact supervision of progress and timely detection of deviations.
- Project Optimization: We improve project coordination and execution, providing detailed performance analysis.
Success Stories
Below we highlight some of Fisotec’s most recent projects in this area:
- Teatro Barceló, Madrid: The goal was to classify the Teatro Barceló as a Cultural Interest Site, preserving its artistic and historical value. Challenges such as reflections on shiny surfaces were faced. The solution came with the Laser Scanner and Leica BLK2GO, technologies that allowed detailed and precise data capture. An exact 3D BIM model of the building was achieved, crucial for its protection and preservation, highlighting its historical significance and facilitating its maintenance and conservation.
- Hotel Doña María, Sevilla: The challenge was to identify energy-saving opportunities in a historical building. A thorough technical review and scanning with Leica BLK2GO were performed, followed by extensive data processing. The project culminated in the creation of a detailed BIM model, which included the air conditioning and electrical systems. This model became a fundamental tool for planning efficient energy improvements.
- Calle 30, Madrid: With the aim of managing intense traffic and improving lighting and signage infrastructure, laser scanning with Leica Pegasus in a vehicle was used. This technology allowed for the precise identification of public lighting installations and vertical signage. A point cloud and an accurate BIM model were generated, essential for planning future improvements and maintenance in the area’s urban infrastructure.
- Estación Príncipe Pío, Madrid: The main challenge was to improve accessibility for blind or mobility-impaired people at the station. Using a laser scanner Leica BLK2GO, the bus bays were modeled in BIM 2D and 3D. The project resulted in the development of a Waymap mobile application that uses the BIM model to facilitate geolocation and access at the station, significantly improving the experience for users with disabilities.
These success stories illustrate Fisotec’s commitment to innovation and excellence in urban project management. Through its SMART inventory and the application of advanced technologies, Fisotec not only solves complex challenges but also raises the standard in heritage conservation, energy efficiency, traffic management, and accessibility in urban environments
