INDUSTRY APPLICATION

Designed for Manufacturing Projects Where Production and Precision Matter

Manufacturing facilities are continually adapting to improve production, install new equipment, and modernize operations. Accurate existing conditions provide the foundation for planning facility improvements while minimizing disruption to ongoing production and reducing uncertainty before construction begins.

Production line modifications and equipment installations
Plant expansions and facility modernization
Utility and infrastructure upgrades
Equipment replacement and process improvements
Documentation for refineries, paper mills, processing facilities, and manufacturing campuses

COMMON CHALLENGES

When Existing Conditions Are Inaccurate, Manufacturing Projects Become More Complex

Manufacturing projects often require multiple disciplines to work within active production environments. Outdated drawings and incomplete documentation make it difficult to coordinate equipment installations, utility modifications, and facility improvements.

Existing drawings no longer reflect current facility conditions
Equipment installations uncover unexpected field conditions
Coordination challenges between owners, engineers, and contractors
Facility improvements are planned using incomplete building information

These issues increase project risk, extend project schedules, and can lead to costly changes during construction and installation.

HOW SENTINEL SCANNING HELPS

Accurate Building Data Supports More Efficient Manufacturing Projects

Sentinel Scanning captures highly accurate existing conditions, allowing manufacturers, engineers, contractors, and project teams to plan facility improvements using reliable building documentation.

Typical response within 1 business day

Capture precise building geometry

Sentinel Scanning documents manufacturing facilities with millions of accurate measurement points, creating a reliable digital representation of the building for planning, coordination, and future improvements.

Work from accurate point cloud data

Project teams can analyze spatial relationships, verify dimensions, and understand complex building geometry using a reliable dataset.

Support equipment installation and facility modernization

Accurate documentation allows architects and contractors to plan improvements to assembly spaces, infrastructure, and building systems efficiently.

Reduce coordination issues before construction

Laser scanning captures decorative elements, structural features, and large interior spaces with exceptional accuracy without disturbing the building.

Improve project planning and decision-making

Digital documentation makes it easier for committees, boards, and leadership teams to visualize building conditions and evaluate renovation options.
