It’s not just in the construction industry that time is money, and we at Sodex Innovations Understand the importance of saving time and money to complete projects on time and within budget. This goal drives us every day to make a new process of site surveying accessible to everyone.
Sodex Innovations in comparison
Unlike other scanning products or software that deal with surveying, we cover the entire process from start to finish. Our software is user-friendly and does not require any special knowledge to work with it. Simply mount the system, create a project, and you’re ready to go. The data ends up fully automated in the Sodex Cloud and are ready for further processing within a few minutes.
The Sodex Cloud
On the one hand, current 3D models of the construction site can be easily exported and used for billing. On the other hand, we already offer a wide range of tools in the Sodex Cloud to interpret the data in a meaningful way and thereby optimize the construction project. The plan for the construction site can be deposited directly with us without further ado. This enables us to provide up-to-the-minute information on the progress of the construction site. Moving volume relative to an original terrain can be viewed directly in a dashboard. Also, the exact cubic meters on piles can be determined by simply circling them with the mouse on our satellite map.
This density of high-quality data, which is always available without additional effort, distinguishes us enormously from conventional methods of surveying on construction sites. No additional person, who is not already on site anyway, is needed to handle the survey.
Sodex Innovations on the machine
Our system, consisting of a computing unit, laser scanner and cameras, is mounted directly on construction machinery such as excavators, wheel loaders or crawlers. The only thing effectively needed is a power cable and a tablet/smartphone to interact with it. A connection to the user interface is established via a tablet/smartphone and the device’s WIFI hotspot entirely without an additional app. Data recording can be started via this interface. Additional attributes such as the material currently being processed can be stored. Photos of objects to be documented can be georeferenced directly with a note, to ensure complete documentation.
Sodex Innovations vs. drones
Unlike drones, our system can be used in all weather and light conditions.. We also almost completely eliminate the time needed for post-processing and processing of the data. Personal data is made unrecognizable directly on the machine, so that imageit is stored without personal data. Also, of course, we don’t have a problem with things like no-fly zones or other restrictions because we’re right on top of the machine that’s doing the work – it has to be able to drive anyway.
Sodex Innovations vs. Rover
Relative to a conventional GPS rover, the primary focus is on the speed of our system with the same GPS accuracy. To record a primeval terrain, simply mount an SDX-Compact on a car or other vehicle and drive over the terrain. 10 minutes later, the finished terrain will be available in the Sodex Cloud as a point cloud or DXF file.
Whether civil engineering, road construction or pipeline construction, we offer tools and features for all these special areas that make work easier, more efficient and more transparent, and we have only just begun.
