What value does a panoramic scene and LiDAR point cloud of your pressure vessel's internals provide you?
Panoramic scenes enable remote inspections, eliminating the need for human entry into confined spaces and allowing the entire team access to the vessel from their computers. You can dimension and mark up the scene to record condition monitoring locations (CMLs) or points of interest, maintaining data continuity between inspection intervals.
Panoramic scenes are perfect for remote project collaboration and operator training alike.
Suppose confined space entry is required to perform further inspections or work. In that case, the scaled panoramic scene enables the highest degree of planning and preparation with dimensional accuracy, helping to reduce variability and increase efficiencies, thereby lowering costs.

Laser scans and point clouds are used to analyze shell distortions and pit depths, then converted into a mesh for use in FEA analysis. When repairs or replacements are required, import the point cloud into CAD to design like-in-kind replacements with confidence.
