Azure Helps Visualize Intelligence in the 3D World for Asset Management, Collaboration
“High-fidelity laser scans represent the ultimate Big Data resource, providing an accurate 3D picture of industrial plants and social infrastructure assets. Using Azure, LFM links these trusted digital assets with operational intelligence, delivering them to asset owners worldwide.” – Gary Farrow, VP, LFM
SITUATION
Consuming the enormous volumes of data created by the laser scan surveying process has for many years prohibited its application to project-critical activity in engineering and construction. LFM’s unique handling of this data means these high-fidelity laser scans can now form a central store for any asset and operational information. This provides a unique 3D resource for rapid decision making, but the solution required a platform that could adjust to fluctuating demand.
