Real point clouds. Real digital twins. mm-level accuracy on critical industrial assets.

Metals Recycling Yard Digital Twin

Physics-based operations simulation. Live yard map by grade and location. Two-way connected data, not a static 3D model.

The plant changes. The documentation doesn’t.

Most expensive failures come from accurate decisions made against information that was wrong. Watch Anthony explain how capturing your physical reality first closes that gap — before it costs you.

Spartan Scanning Solutions In The Field

Recent Projects

Whatever your project, our reality capture solutions enable you to visualize complex projects in a digital environment and identify problems before they become costly mistakes in the field.

The Physical Governance Journey

Three stops. Each one stands on its own and pays for itself. You go as far as your operation needs.

The Foundation

1. Reality Capture

We scan your facility and build your Baseline Map. Guaranteed accurate, with your money back if it isn’t.

We bring the scanners to you and capture your plant at millimeter accuracy, without interrupting production. The result is a Baseline Map you can trust as ground truth — and if it isn’t accurate, you get your money back. Everything else is built on this.

Today’s Focus

2. The Visual Twin

A living, measurable, engineering-grade model of your plant. Your team uses it every day: planning, measuring, validating, coordinating.

Within 72 hours of the site visit you get a working visual twin your team can measure, plan, and coordinate against every day. No waiting on a full digital-twin program to start getting value. It pays for itself the first time it prevents a clash or a wasted trip.

The Horizon

3. The Digital Twin

Your facility data starts working with you: live data flows, simulation, and intelligence built on the same foundation.

When your data is ready, we connect the twin to live operations: real-time data flows, physics-based simulation, and intelligence layered on the same foundation. Same model, more power — on your timeline, not forced up front.

The Visual Twin is not a stepping stone. It is engineering-grade infrastructure that earns its keep from day one.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Reality capture refers to the process of collecting data of physical spaces or objects using various types of technology such as laser scanning, photogrammetry, lidar and SLAM. The captured data is then processed to create accurate digital representations of the real world conditions that can be used by a variety of professional disciplines like operations, architecture, engineering, construction, entertainment and more.
The level of accuracy depends on the type of technology used and the purpose of the project. Generally, modern reality capture systems can achieve accuracy levels ranging from a few millimeters to a few centimeters.
Our equipment varies depending on the specific needs of each project. We use advanced laser scanners, cameras, drones, and other specialized tools that allow us to capture data with high precision and detail.
Laser scanning uses laser beams to measure distances and create 3D models of objects and spaces, while photogrammetry uses photographs to extract geometric information and create digital models. Both techniques have their advantages and disadvantages, and the choice between them will depend on the specific requirements of your project.
The duration of a project depends on its scope and complexity. Generally, it takes a few days to a few weeks, but larger or more intricate projects may take several months or even years to complete.

Reality capture can capture a wide range of data, including geometric measurements, textural information, color and lighting, as well as metadata such as GPS coordinates and time stamps.

Reality capture has many applications in fields such as architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturing, entertainment, and virtual reality. Some common uses include creating digital models of buildings, surveying terrain, designing and visualizing products, creating 3D maps, and producing immersive experiences.
Yes, modern reality capture technologies can capture data from all kinds of environments, including outdoor spaces. In fact, some technologies like Lidar are particularly useful for scanning large areas such as cityscapes or natural landscapes.
