8 November 2023<\/em><\/strong>: \u00a0Modena Infrastructure has announced the introduction of the FARO Orbis\u2122 – a unique mobile scanning solution created to optimize workflows and elevate productivity.<\/p>\n

Designed for construction, engineering and surveying professionals, Orbis delivers rapid speed of capture, while returning highly accurate 3D visual representations of the real world. The integration of FARO\u2019s Flash Technology\u2122\u00a0allows Orbis to deliver stationary scans in just 15 seconds and provides unrivalled detail from a mobile mapping solution.<\/p>\n

Stationary Scanning<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sub 1mm accuracy and clean digital representations have revolutionized mapping on a large scale. The FARO\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0Focus Premium for example, offers incredible speed and accuracy in one stationary-based solution. Historically, this method of data capture has offered industries like AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) an avenue for accurately updating jobsite progress, at the expense of speed and productivity, an area FARO has worked hard to bridge.<\/p>\n

Mobile Scanning<\/strong><\/p>\n

At 10x the speed of a Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) and the freedom to capture jobsites uninterrupted, it feels like the preferred choice. However, its accuracy levels and data cleanliness don\u2019t match those of stationary scanning systems. Years of development have bridged that gap, and today mobile scanning solutions offer up to 5mm relative accuracy, considered by most to be within tolerance for most surveying jobs. Companies developing mobile or stationary scanning technology have traditionally worked to improve one system or the other, rather than engineer one complete solution \u2013 until now!<\/p>\n

Orbis: The well-rounded solution<\/strong><\/p>\n

FARO Orbis is designed to have all the functionality of a mobile scanner, with stationary scanning capabilities. Powered by Flash Technology\u2122<\/sup>, Orbis has the means to capture highly accurate data, at the speed of the user\u2019s walk, as well as in-built stationary scanning capacity for mapping areas like complex pipework. The addition of higher accuracy from a mobile scanning solution makes it more justifiable than ever before to add to your surveying toolkit.<\/p>\n

Mobile Scanning<\/em><\/p>\n

By simply navigating through a jobsite, users can efficiently map extensive areas within minutes, not hours. These real-time scans not only deliver rapid and valuable data insights, but also offer adaptability and replicability in scanning.<\/p>\n

Stationary Scanning Capabilities<\/em><\/p>\n

Orbis benefits from FARO\u2019s expertise in fixed position mapping, with integrated stationary scanning capabilities. Users can capture much more complex details from their scanned environment, by simply holding Orbis still on a monopod for 15 seconds pointing at the relevant area. A useful tool for capturing difficult areas in granular detail and compared to other mobile mapping solutions delivers a much higher accuracy. It\u2019s easy to switch from dynamic mobile scanning to stationary scanning at the push of a button.<\/p>\n
