Reality Capture

Point. Record.
Keep your plant current.

A field change should not leave your digital world behind. Use your mobile phone to keep the model, asset intelligence and drawings connected to the site.

Capture the change

Point your phone.
Record what changed.

A new pump. A modified line. A changed layout. Walk the area and record a video with the phone already in your pocket.

Reality Capture brings everyday field capture into the facility’s shared spatial reference. Available through HyBird on iOS and Android.

Update the 3D model

The physical change.
In the digital twin.

The captured geometry updates the existing facility model. New equipment takes its place alongside the structures, pipework and assets already there.

Teams can understand the change in context, rather than working from an isolated photograph.

Refresh the intelligence

Identify the equipment.
Connect its records.

Identify valves, pumps and other equipment in the model. Link each asset to its tag, drawings and maintenance records.

Its identity, system and relationships can now inform engineering, field work and maintenance.

Bring drawings up to date

The site changes.
The P&ID follows.

Bring the captured change into connected engineering drawings. A new asset or line becomes a proposed drawing update, with its physical context close at hand.

Review the engineering change and issue the approved revision through your document control process.

3D scanning & deployment

Start with the site.
We’ll help capture it.

Worldwide deployment for ground and aerial capture: LiDAR, photogrammetry and 360° imagery, planned around your operating site.

In one oil-sector programme, more than 800,000 m² were scanned and digitised in six weeks, alongside asset tagging and P&ID work.

800,000 m²+

Scanned and digitised in six weeks, with assets tagged, drawings generated, P&IDs validated and updated, and the AI model trained.

HyBird deployment experience

The right capture
for the environment.

Industrial sites have different constraints: dense pipework, large structures, restricted access and equipment that cannot stop for a survey.

We combine ground and aerial LiDAR with photogrammetry and 360° imagery around the facility and the information the team needs.

Tripod laser scanner at a complex industrial site

Ground capture.

Capture the facility with terrestrial scanning technology. Record the equipment, structures and access routes at the scale of the plant.

Aerial capture drone flying above dense industrial pipework

Aerial capture.

Bring elevated and difficult-to-reach areas into the same spatial reference. Combine aerial context with detailed ground capture.

From scan to working digital twin

Capture is the start.
A usable facility is the result.

Bring point clouds, models and imagery into HyBird. Connect the asset identities, engineering drawings and documents that give the environment meaning.

The result supports remote engineering, field maintenance and a shared understanding of the site.

Deploy quickly.
Keep it current.

Agree the site scope, capture requirements and information priorities with the deployment team. Activate the model and connected workflows in stages as the facility becomes available.

Once the foundation is in place, use Reality Capture to bring everyday field changes back into the model, intelligence and drawings.

Plan your site capture
