Scan to BIM – Manufacturing Layout Intelligence Platform
Mobile Reality Capture to Intelligent CAD & BIM Layouts
Manufacturing-focused solutions utilize Scan to BIM to convert real site conditions into accurate, engineering ready CAD and BIM layouts. We design and deliver a scalable platform combining mobile scanning, layout intelligence, and seamless CAD and BIM integration to accelerate your site to design workflows.
Scan to BIM – Manufacturing Layout Intelligence Platform
It is a manufacturing-focused solution that converts real factory conditions into accurate, engineering-ready CAD and Building Information Modeling (BIM) layouts. Using mobile Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) scanning, photogrammetry, indoor positioning, and rule-driven layout logic, the platform helps teams plan equipment placement, piping, and HVAC layouts directly on real site geometry and seamlessly hand off validated data to BIM tools.
Designed for fast-changing manufacturing environments, CCTech delivers Scan to BIM as an end-to-end platform service. This platform helps avoid unnecessary rework, layout clashes, and delayed decisions due to manual measurements and outdated layouts.
Execution Workflow & Core Capabilities
Mobile Reality Capture & Spatial Context Modeling
Factory interiors are captured using mobile LiDAR scanning and photogrammetry through mobile applications, web applications, and desktop applications. The platform converts raw scans into measurable 3D and forms an accurate spatial foundation for layout planning.
Indoor Positioning & Path Tracking
High positional accuracy is maintained through IMU and Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO). The indoor path, alignment, and drift are tracked and corrected using sensor fusion, without utilizing GPS.
Asset, Equipment & Constraint Mapping
Structured layouts are designed by identifying obstructions and no-go zones. The equipment, utilities, and obstructions are positioned into usable layouts. Reusable assets and libraries contain metadata, notes, and site images for downstream layout validation.
Manufacturing Layout Intelligence
The platform supports multiple layout scenarios, evaluates spatial feasibility early, and validates routing constraints. It is ideal for brownfield and retrofit projects.
Layout Authoring, Validation & Engineering Outputs
Early-stage pipe and duct routes are created using skeleton-based tools with snap-to-angle logic and measurable dimensions. It generates outputs such as pipe sizing, pressure drop calculations, BOMs, and structured data exports for further detailing.
CAD, BIM & Web-Based Collaboration
The platform provides seamless hand-off of layouts into CAD and BIM tools using web browser-based visualization. The scans, drawings, BOMs, and layouts are reviewed through centralized dashboards and role-based access. The platform provides multi-language user interfaces and configurable language packs per deployment.
