Reliable geometry.
One shared baseline.
SPMD delivers 3D surveys and digital models of industrial buildings, structures, equipment and production environments. The result becomes a practical basis for engineering, revamping, layout and work preparation.
More reliable engineering
Reduce missing dimensions, assumptions and return site visits.
Shared decisions
Review the environment before modifying or installing equipment.
Documented baseline
Retain a structured representation of the surveyed condition.
SPMD projects
Separate projects.
Usable digital models.
Each case is presented as a separate project. The first three cover machinery, a process unit and a complete production line; the others address separate industrial simulation and modelling requirements.
Project 01 — 3D-scan retrofit & guarding
The as-built survey becomes the geometric baseline used to design and validate the guards within the machine’s real environment.
Existing condition
Machine inspection and identification of the areas, equipment and interfaces to be surveyed.
3D scan & point cloud
Capture of the real geometry to establish an accurate digital baseline of the installation.
Scan-to-CAD & validation
Guard design in the overall model and review of clearances, interfaces and operating travel.
Project 02 — 3D scan & digital model of a process unit
The existing area is captured in its real complexity and rebuilt as a coordinated 3D model to integrate equipment, networks and structures and support reliable layout decisions.
Existing-condition 3D scan
Capture of the industrial environment and creation of a point cloud covering visible equipment, piping, structures and interfaces.
Digital-model reconstruction
Modelling of the process equipment, piping, supports, platforms and engineering interfaces within one coordinated 3D reference.
Layout & accessibility review
Review of interfaces, clearances, circulation and operator or maintenance access before modification and work preparation.
Project 03 — Multi-zone production-line 3D scan
The survey covers several successive areas of the line to establish one overall geometric baseline including machinery, conveyors, structures, utilities and existing interfaces.
Upstream zone & environment
Point-cloud restitution of a first area including machinery, supporting structures and workshop boundaries.
Central zone & equipment
Consolidation of a dense area containing equipment, conveyors, utilities and multiple mechanical interfaces.
Overall longitudinal view
Registration of the zones in one common reference to review the full line layout and prepare future engineering work.
Other digital-modelling projects
These independent projects combine process models, flow simulation and overall CAD studies of robotic lines. The global views show the actual coordination of stations, robots, conveyors and interfaces.
Project 04
Assembly-line flow simulation
Review of the layout, workstations, circulation and equipment before installation.
Project 05
Equipment & piping model
Overall model combining process equipment, networks and supporting structure.
Project 06
Multidisciplinary coordination model
Coordination of equipment, networks, platforms and access within one 3D reference.
Project 07
Multi-level layout model
Review of vertical layout, clearances, access and assembly interfaces.
Project 08
Vessel skid model
Representation of vessels, supports, piping, instrumentation and operator access.
Project 09
Overall engineering of a robotic cell
Coordinated layout of the robot, tooling, stations, interfaces and functional areas of the cell.
Project 10
Robotic line & multi-tool gripper
Overall view integrating conveyors, cells, automated stations and operator areas.
Project 11
Transfer line with two robotic cells
Overall architecture of the line, flows, pallets and two robotic cells.

Output data
Deliverables matched to their use.
Handover formats are agreed at project launch according to your tools and objectives: point cloud, 3D model, 2D drawings, sections, layouts and a project handover package. SPMD does not impose a generic format; each delivery is defined to remain directly usable by your teams.
