Sweet success in plant documentation

节省时间和成本，再加上更好的信息

没有激光扫描，密歇根州的糖将不得不进行手动现场测量，并且文档过程将需要将近两个星期的时间才能完成。根据詹姆斯的说法，仅对于现场文件，就节省了68％的成本。当然，总节省超出了这一范围，因为手动测量可能会引入人为错误，从而导致施工冲突和返工。收集的植物数据返工的整个行业局面通常从项目总成本，消耗时间和金钱的12％到30％。

With the data from the laser scanner, all equipment and systems, not just a few chosen plant elements, were captured to within a millimetre of accuracy. Data processing was also fast and cost effective because the team paired the ScanStation P40 with Cyclone software, which work seamlessly in unison. This marriage of software and hardware made it easy for in-house engineers to extract, analyse the data and create a 3D model in AutoCAD® of all architectural, structural and mechanical systems. “Because we controlled all aspects of the project in one software package,” explains James, “we did not have to import and export data from various software packages, saving us a lot of time.”

调查团队还发布了Leica Truviews，在点云数据之上覆盖的尺寸照片，人们可以在Leica Geosystems的免费Truview Panoramic观看器中查看。即使他们对Point Cloud软件没有深入了解，密歇根州糖的专业人员也能够轻松地通过Truviews评估数据并评估现场条件。Schanbeck发现该模型对于帮助工程团队进行设计工作非常有用，以至于他计划使用激光扫描来记录整个设施，从而促进了未来的设备修改和补充。
