To prevent the aging of factories and plants as well as equipment malfunctions, and to achieve stable operations, it is essential to visualize the current situation and implement data-driven measures. We quantify changes in equipment shape and distortion to aid in maintenance. By accurately understanding bends and twists caused by aging deterioration, planning for repairs and renovations becomes smoother and is effective in identifying root causes. Furthermore, from the perspective of "preparedness," when natural disasters or unexpected troubles occur, measurements can be taken from a distance even in areas that are difficult to access, allowing for a quick assessment of the damage. This enables a rapid establishment of a recovery plan and significantly reduces human risk. Regular 3D measurements and data analysis can help in early detection of anomalies and contribute to disaster prevention. In terms of "updating" work, we can create 3D models from existing equipment point cloud data and virtually combine new equipment and piping to conduct interference checks. By preventing the hassle of on-site adjustments and unexpected issues, we can optimize renovation costs and schedules. Even for old facilities without drawings, we can digitize the current state, providing consistent support from planning to construction. From these three perspectives of "maintenance, preparedness, and updating," we promote improved safety and efficient operations.

A 3D laser scanner obtains position coordinates by emitting laser light and receiving the reflected laser light from objects, allowing for the measurement of three-dimensional shapes. One of the weaknesses of 3D laser scanners is related to the "reflected light" necessary for data acquisition. Both "light" and "laser" can experience phenomena such as reflection and refraction. Even though it may seem high-tech, not everything can be measured as intended. Here, we will introduce some typical challenges that laser scanners face. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links.
