Anyone who has tried to use point clouds in day-to-day operations knows the disappointment: highly precise measurements, massive datasets – and yet much of it remains unusable. speedikon® VIP shows how raw geometry can be transformed into a tangible digital twin.
The Point Cloud Paradox
LiDAR scans and laser surveys now provide millimeter-precise images of factories, power plants, and buildings. However, three problems limit their usefulness:
- Data overload: Hundreds of terabytes are quickly collected — but are difficult to handle.
- Lack of context: For non-experts, point clouds appear confusing and without reference.
- Noise: Measurement errors distort the data and require time-consuming cleanup.
This means that valuable information often disappears unused in data storage.
Where VIP Makes the Difference
speedikon® VIP integrates point clouds with photorealistic images, BIM models, drawings, and GIS data.
From an abstract, hard-to-interpret cloud emerges a navigable, semantically enriched model. This creates a new working basis for maintenance, planning, inspections, or even remote training.
Photorealism Meets Precision
With Framence technology, photorealistic 3D twins can be created from simple images — from the ground, by drone, or from the air. Accuracy is within a centimeter at ten meters distance, and with high-end cameras, even down to the millimeter.
This makes complex technical environments visually understandable and reliably measurable.
From Data Graveyard to Strategic Asset
By embedding point clouds into a comprehensive digital context, VIP transforms them into valuable working resources. Instead of gathering dust as a heavy data burden, they become accessible, comprehensible, and immediately usable.
