ScanX unveils remote and COVID-friendly solution for the construction & mining industry
ScanX Cloud is an online point cloud processor with robust autonomous classification and analytics, designed for the 3D data-driven future.
Tokyo, Japan & Brisbane, Australia: 17 September 2020 – A new point cloud processing platform launched today could help the construction and mining industry adapt to the new remote-work standard that has been co-opted by most during the COVID-19 pandemic.
So far, the traditional workstyle of the heavy industries has seen them struggling, while under increased pressure to adapt. Now, ScanX Cloud presents a viable solution that can help the industry make the shift and expand the range of utilization for 3D point cloud data.
ScanX Cloud is a digital twin platform that quickly processes or analyses data taken from laser-scanners (Terrain Laser Scanner, Mobile LiDAR, UAV LiDAR), to help people using high-speed, optimized survey processing software.
This new platform can free up employees from office work and enable them to work from home using the cloud-based platform, with multiple projects running simultaneously from a single account.
ScanX Cloud uses advanced classification algorithms and cloud-computing power to significantly reduce time-consuming work like filtering useful information out of massive point cloud data, transforming massive data into actionable business insights.
Founders Satoshi and Hong, who have analysed 3D point cloud data from all over the world, said that existing 3D point cloud data software required a high-spec PC and is expensive and difficult to use. They saw a need for affordable, cloud-based, and simple UI software and started developing ScanX Cloud.
“The platform’s primary purpose is to extract what customers truly need by various advanced classification algorithms and analytics. Its industry-level analytics contain road extraction, hydrology analytics, canopy segmentation, with many more patent-pending analytics coming this year,” explained Hong Tran, CTO at ScanX.
Some of the benefits users will enjoy from using ScanX Cloud include:
• Automation of daily work by eliminating repetitive manual processing, enabling more time for critical high-value activities
• Providing patent-pending, cutting-edge analytics such as “Design vs. As-Built,” “Road Analytics,” “Hydrology,” and “Canopy Segmentation”, which gives business users the power to make better and quicker decisions
• Increasing turnaround time of data processing to move from scan to impact in any business. The new sharing features will empower contractors and contractees to streamline their work processes without advanced technical experience: Cloud is a game changer for managing and automating collaborative work
• Seamless compatibility with any other industry standard scanning software. ScanX Data can be used seamlessly on other software and vice versa: upload point cloud data to ScanX platform and our cloud computing will efficiently compress and optimize data for use. Available for general formats (PTX, PLY, E57, BIN, TXT, XYZ, LAS, LAZ);
• Improving worker’s ability to complete tasks anywhere anytime. Key enhancements include in the fly mesh generation, drag and drop CAD designs and the ability to share this without installing any software.
