Using Digital Jobsites for Cross-Functional Efficiency 

You’ve got your company’s 360° camera, a willing colleague or, in some cases, an enthusiastic intern claiming to know how to operate the device, and a printout of your floor plan. It might appear you’re ready and equipped to make the leap toward digitization, yes? Well, not quite.
Relying on single-purpose and proprietary tools as the silver bullet to modernize your workflow – without attempts to unify these data sets – rarely leads to elusive productivity and efficiency gains. These turnkey solutions, usually served with a generous portion of marketing jargon, often fail to deliver the desired heights of workflow digitalization promised in the brochures. So, what’s missing?
In short, unification. Storing terabytes of project data within never-ending almanacs of folders on your computer might seem like the easiest option but is far from the most efficient workflow. To overcome this, an excellent place to start are digital jobsites. Digital jobsite platforms, like FARO Sphere® XG, offer a solution to consolidate multiple data sets into a unified ecosystem while enhancing synergy between teams through seamless democratization of data.

How Will Sphere XG Benefit You?

  • Integrate Your Reality Capture Data from All Sources
    Experience seamless site capture workflows with direct data uploads from FARO devices like the new FARO® Orbis™ Mobile Laser Scanner, and file imports from other industry devices using standard formats. These include data from 360° cameras, stationary and mobile laser scanners, or iPhone LiDAR scanning.
  • All Reality Capture and 3D Model Data in One Place
    Visualize 360° photos and 3D point clouds alongside 3D models in the same cloud environment, eliminating data silos and the need for multiple platforms. Import your 3D or BIM model in various industry standard formats to centralize valuable information for all stakeholders and enhance collaboration across teams.
  • Data Accessible Any Time, Anywhere
    No need for powerful computers to view point clouds or 3D models, simply share your project with your team and stakeholders for online access. From device to platform, your data is secured and available on-demand, whenever, wherever you need it on the cloud-based Sphere XG platform.
  • Better Decisions, Faster
    By overlaying point cloud data and 3D models, visual tracking of progress becomes highly effective. Compare site progress to the plan, visually detect possible future clashes and catch discrepancies early with accuracy. Any issues can be eliminated before they escalate, preventing rework, and busting schedules and budgets.
