With centralized management and the ability to manage all relevant 3D data on one platform, Sphere XG reduces the effort and error-proneness that could arise from using multiple systems.
TitleCentral data management
Sphere XG provides a centralized platform for managing 3D data, point clouds and 360° photos. This allows users to save and organize all relevant information in one place, improving efficiency and accessibility. Centralized management simplifies workflows and optimizes team collaboration.
TitleCollaboration in real time
With Sphere XG, teams can access and collaborate on shared 3D data in real time, regardless of their location. This feature promotes communication and coordination within projects, increasing productivity. Problems can be identified and solved more quickly, resulting in smoother project delivery.
Title4D construction progress management
Sphere XG allows users to compare 3D data and point clouds over time, which is ideal for 4D progress management. Project managers can monitor construction progress, detect deviations at an early stage and create precise progress documentation. This function supports the optimization of construction projects and contributes to quality assurance.
TitleMobile data capture
Integration with the mobile Stream app allows 3D data to be captured quickly and independently of location, directly on site. This function speeds up the capture process and ensures that up-to-date data is available immediately. As a result, projects can be driven forward more quickly and response times improved.
TitleSeamless integration of 3D models
Sphere XG supports the integration of georeferenced 3D models with point clouds and other data sources. This seamless connection enables precise alignment and analysis of data, which facilitates decision-making. Users can work more efficiently and increase the quality of their projects.
TitleComprehensive data security
Sphere XG ensures high security standards to protect all captured and stored data. With robust encryption technologies and strict access policies, the platform ensures that sensitive information is managed securely. This gives users confidence in the integrity and confidentiality of their data.
TitleFARO Sphere XG workflow
The workflow with FARO Sphere XG starts with mobile data capture, where 3D scans and 360° photos are taken quickly and accurately on site. This data is then uploaded to the cloud-based platform, where it is centrally organized and made accessible to the entire team. Real-time collaboration allows everyone involved to access the latest information and work together on projects, regardless of their location. 3D point clouds and geo-referenced models can be seamlessly integrated and analyzed over time, which is particularly beneficial for 4D construction progress management. Throughout the process, Sphere XG ensures high data security to protect sensitive information. This optimized workflow leads to more efficient workflows, improved collaboration and more accurate project results.
