【Example】 Location: Fukuoka Castle Ruins Area: Approximately 700 square meters Number of Measurements: 35 locations Measurement Time: Approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes Measurement Data Confirmation: Approximately 1 hour (Total: Approximately 4 hours and 30 minutes) 【Measurement Conditions】 ■ Measurements can be conducted outdoors and indoors ■ Due to equipment specifications, the ideal temperature during measurements is between 5°C and 40°C ■ Measurements can be taken at night or in dark places, but obtaining color information is difficult ■ Outdoor measurements may be impossible depending on weather conditions due to laser reflection and refraction from rain or fog ■ Glossy surfaces that reflect lasers or black objects that absorb lasers will reduce point cloud acquisition rates ※ Mirrors and glass typically cannot obtain point clouds ■ Moving objects during measurement will be processed as noise during data processing ※ For accuracy in point cloud acquisition, it is preferable to measure during times when there are no people present ■ Generally, measurements are taken from below, so point clouds of the top surfaces of objects cannot be obtained. If point cloud acquisition is necessary, measurements should be taken from a height 【Examples of Point Cloud Data Utilization】 ■ Dimension measurement ■ Cross-section display ■ Height display ■ Intensity display ■ 3D modeling ■ VR, etc.

The construction industry is facing a serious labor shortage due to population decline and an aging society. On the other hand, there is also an increasing demand for renovation work in existing buildings from the perspectives of energy conservation, power saving, and earthquake resistance. By utilizing 3D laser scanners and point clouds for essential site surveys and current drawing creation during renovation work, it becomes possible to address the labor shortage issue, as well as shorten construction periods and reduce costs. **Advantages of Using 3D Laser Scanners** - High-precision 3D measurements can be obtained in a short time. - Measurements can be taken at heights without the use of scaffolding. - There is no risk of damage to the object being measured since measurements are taken remotely. *Note: 3D measurement refers to scanning an object to obtain point cloud data.* By importing the point cloud data obtained from 3D measurements, it is possible to recreate buildings and facilities in 3D on a computer. Additionally, the following tasks can be performed: **Utilization of Point Cloud Data** - Dimension measurement - Cross-section display - Merging point clouds with 3D models (3D CAD) - Modeling from point clouds and creating construction drawings (BIM compatible) **Deliverables** - Point clouds and 360° panoramic photos - 3D CAD data modeled from point clouds

Our company conducts a technology called '3D Laser Scanner Measurement,' which allows us to obtain point cloud data with X, Y, and Z coordinates in a short time by irradiating the target with a laser, enabling the reproduction of three-dimensional space on a computer. The measurement time for one location is approximately 5 minutes, and as a guideline, measuring a 150m² machine room takes about half a day. It is possible to measure dimensions in millimeters on a PC. By using a tripod, the laser scanner can be set up at a height of up to 3 meters, allowing for measurements of piping on racks and other high locations. Additionally, since measurements are taken by irradiating the laser from a distance, there is no risk of contact with the target object, making it safe to use even during operation. 【Features】 ■ High-precision measurements in a short time ■ No scaffolding required for high measurements ■ Non-contact measurements ■ Utilization of point cloud data *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
