In-Vision Footprint

In any large installation, understanding interior space data is critical. One of the challenges facing consumers of this data has always been the uncertainties inherent in available floor plans. Some plans are historic or original proposed architectural drawings, while others are a patchwork of as-built drawings from different projects and snapshots over time.

Securing current representations of interior space has always been expensive and time consuming. It has also typically been a low priority endeavor, up until the time that updated information is needed. Then it becomes a high priority and both expensive and time-consuming to produce.

In-Vision Footprint is the gross measurement service and foundation data deliverable within the PenBay In-Building Information System. Utilizing a revolutionary robotic survey solution with multiple integrated laser scanners and environmental sensors, PenBay can produce building footprint data sets in substantially less time, with far greater accuracy than previously possible and at very competitive pricing.

The foundation of In-Vision Footprint spatial data capture is the creation of high-resolution, as-built floor plans with very high accuracy . The base scan captures building geometry and details such as built-in furniture, cubicle layout, and large installed machinery or appliances, supporting myriad applications across a variety of industries.

PenBay's leading edge visualizations of the built environment are the key to better decision making. Too often, the most significant obstacle to being able to assemble and visualize the "information fabric" of the built environment is the tedious, time consuming, and expensive nature of collecting in-building information.

The In-Vision Footprint methodology requires only very small crews on site for a minimal amount of time. With PenBay, a crew of two individuals can accurately survey over 150,000 square feet per day. Compare that with traditional survey crews that introduce substantial interruptions into the environment, often requiring large crews of technicians and many days to complete, thereby interrupting people and operations.
