In the field of factory and layout planning, 3D laser scanning plays a decisive role by offering modern technologies for the precise assessment and documentation of existing plants and buildings, including building technology. State-of-the-art laser scanners are used to record millions of points per second and generate highly accurate 3D models of the as-built situation.
This data can then be transferred to planning software in order to use it as a basis for planning or to create CAD models from it. In contrast to traditional 2D plans, these models enable a detailed visualization and analysis of the given spatial conditions, including the exact dimensions, structures and surface textures.
Laser scanning provides a reliable basis for planning and optimizing production facilities. By precisely capturing existing infrastructures, potential bottlenecks and optimization opportunities can be identified at an early stage. This leads to more efficient production processes and an improved utilization of space and resources. In addition, the scanning of areas that are difficult to access makes it easier to accurately record details that might be overlooked during manual capturing.
For plant operators, the use of 3D laser scanning offers numerous advantages. A precise data basis reduces planning errors and minimizes risks during the construction phase. This not only saves valuable time but also costs in the long term. Overall, the use of laser scanning contributes significantly to the competitiveness and sustainability of factories.

A short definition of laser scanning: It is a technology for capturing the physical form of an object or environment in three dimensions. A laser ray is used to measure the distances to various points to create a detailed, three-dimensional model.
A 3D laser scanner sends laser rays that are reflected by surfaces. The returning rays are measured to calculate distances and generate precise 3D coordinates. These points form a 3D dot cloud that depicts the scanned object or environment in detail. This dot cloud forms the basis of a three-dimensional model.
The advantages of laser scanning include:
Laser scanning is used in various phases, including:
