The project aimed to capture and process high-precision three-dimensional data in an operational industrial plant to accurately plan the production and assembly of new equipment on active production lines.

The campaign began with a high-density 3D laser scanning phase, using state-of-the-art instrumentation capable of recording millions of points per second with errors of less than ±3 mm. A comprehensive survey of all areas of interest was carried out, encompassing load-bearing structures, foundations, walkways, pipelines, existing machinery, and work areas at different levels.
A particularly complex part of the work involved surveying at ground level and in technical pits, where scanner visibility was limited. To ensure geometric continuity between levels and avoid discontinuities in the final model, controlled overlaps were implemented using strategically placed reference targets to link the interior and exterior stations. This procedure maintained the dimensional consistency of the entire system and ensured complete traceability of the data. Based on the data obtained, digital integrations of machinery and components were developed, simulating their implementation in the real-world environment and evaluating access, interferences, assembly routes, and maintenance. This phase allowed for anticipating incidents and planning work without interrupting production.

The workflow combined terrestrial laser scanning, photogrammetry, and parametric modeling, generating a fully accurate and operational 3D model. The results were integrated into a collaborative engineering viewer, from which the technical teams could analyze, share, and validate the project in a coordinated manner. Thanks to this approach, the design was optimized, production downtime was reduced, and the new equipment was implemented precisely and safely in the plant.
