Remove the need for costly plant visits and improve coordination through a 3D Digital Twin.

The Digital Twin or smart factory has become the vision for every modern manufacturer however many lack the in-house capabilities to do this and need to work with an external specialist in 3D laser scanning.

3D laser scanning provides a method to digitise complex facilities very quickly with minimum disruption. The results can be a 3D point cloud, 360° panoramic images and virtual tours or 3D models.

Luminous use the latest mobile slam enabled 3D scanning systems to provide rapid site capture. Once scanned data is hosted and accessed in the cloud through the Luminous Digital Twin portal providing real-time access and virtual walkthroughs.
- Reduce travel costs through virtual meetings, walkthroughs and inspections
- Familiarise staff on equipment, locations and procedures virtually
- Improve engineering productivity by providing access to accurate as-is data
- Improve remote collaboration between stakeholders, project managers and contractors
10 – 30%
Reduction of cost for late changes through reduced planning errors.
10 – 20%
Increased value of best practices due to adoption by additional plants.
20 – 40%
Travel cost reduction for industrial engineers due to remote site visits.

Coordinate new installs and production line changes with accurate 3D survey data
Data Capture Process
Luminous provides a managed service for all your 3D scanning and reality capture needs. Once a baseline scan of the full facility has been captured our team will maintain this data with regular visits to capture any changes as the facility changes over time.
This gives you the peace of mind that what you’re looking at is always correct with a single source of truth. Scanning is carried out using the latest mobile scanning technology allowing large live sites to be captured quickly and efficiently with zero disruption to employees and production.
The scanning creates a 3D Point Cloud which comprises of millions of dimensionally accurate points of data and 360° degree panoramic images which can all be accessed through a secure cloud-based portal.
A fully-managed solution ensuring your data is always correct
Cloud Platform
Factory documentation is often inconsistent and only accessible to experts using specialist software. In partnership with NavVis and their IVION solution, stakeholders can interact with realistic digital twins of their factories via the cloud through an easy to use browser-based portal.

Access all of your factories from one account. Easily switch between and search for sites from a central dashboard

Edit and download sections of a point cloud in different file formats, so you can edit your point clouds and import them into other software programs. Make a selection in the point cloud with the 3D crop box to only download what you need.

An easy to use, scalable content management system for adding geo-tagged information and media to 3D scans. Users can right-click anywhere on the screen to add and view this information as points of interest.

360° immersive images are not just digital images. The pixels in these images are enriched by laser scans, which makes it possible to interact with scanned spaces as if you are on site, including taking accurate point-to-point measurements.
