![]() Or, more simply, can be used with 3D modelling packages for ideation and feasibility studies.Ĭontext also provided Oyster with a user-friendly, measurable photo viewer model of the site. The cloud data also interfaces with the CAD systems of other consultants and can be converted into a BIM format for integration with the professional team. “Stakeholders can review and collaborate with other team members within the model, without having to take time-consuming and environmentally damaging flights to stand on site.” Mui says this ability to centrally host the consolidated data for the client has additional long-term benefits. Security protocols enable open sharing and access for the client stakeholder team to meet their needs. ![]() The collected data is stored securely by Context for Oyster within its 256-bit encrypted cloud-based client portal. “The collected data can be used to create a whole range of beneficial outputs, shared across the stakeholder network, and as a collaborative tool with the rest of the construction or consultant teams.” Using a range of survey tools including a drone, a high-powered fixed 3D scanner, and a new state-of-the-art, handheld mobile 3D scanner, Context scanned the Wellington site in under three days – considerably less time than traditional techniques would have allowed.Ĭontext used the collected point cloud data to create detailed plans and reflected ceiling plans of the entire site: the buildings factory machinery services ducting electrical and other industrial conduits, which will enable the client and operator to build a detailed understanding of the complete asset. Mui adds the digital nature of the capture ensures an increase in quality control of data sets and any subsequent documentation. ![]() The technology is hyper-accurate at +/- 2mm over 10m in any direction, creating really cost-effective site capture.” “It is around 10 times faster to complete a full asset measure and site capture, which minimises disruption for our clients. “Point cloud and 3D scanning have a number of game-changing advantages over how we worked in the past,” Mui says. ![]() However, 3D scanning technology is changing this. The 40,000sqm factory site near Wellington contained multiple buildings, developed over many years without there ever being an accurate, as-built survey of the overall site, individual building, or factory machine floor plates.Ĭontext’s Isaac Mui, says lacking accurate, as-built plans may be a frustration when it comes to negotiating a lease or sale, but it also inhibits the facilities management team from building a sound knowledge base for ongoing maintenance and servicing of complex sites such as this. That’s why we are particularly excited about 3D capture and the opportunity it brings.Ĭommercial property and fund manager Oyster Property Group recently used Context’s 3D point cloud scanning technology at a large industrial site to better understand a sprawling campus of buildings and machinery. SiteCapture is scalable and easily configurable, and has been used to complete more than 5 million jobs and capture more than 100 million photos.At Context, we believe digital solutions are about improving the design process and enabling faster, more accurate, cost-effective design for our clients. With SiteCapture, companies need only one application to manage their entire range of field activities – driving down costs by 10-20 percent, while cutting reporting time by up to 75 percent. SiteCapture eliminates the inefficiencies in capturing and managing critical data and photos on every field service job. "This is the natural next strategic step in our mission to deliver the best field operations software platform for Solar, Residential Property and other field-service intensive industries." "FotoNotes and SiteCapture are long-time partners, achieving substantial success in our respective industries," said Kamal Shah, CEO of SiteCapture. Kamal Shah, founder and CEO of FotoNotes, will continue as CEO of SiteCapture, while Christopher Doyle, founder of SiteCapture, has joined the board of directors. SiteCapture mobile and web apps streamline solar field operations.
