Scan to BIM – Manufacturing Layout Intelligence Platform

Mobile Reality Capture to Intelligent CAD & BIM Layouts

Our platform is a manufacturing-focused solution that converts real factory conditions into accurate, engineering-ready CAD and Building Information Modeling (BIM) layouts — helping teams plan equipment placement, piping, and HVAC layouts directly on real site geometry.

The Platform

From Real Factory Conditions to Engineering-Ready CAD & BIM Layouts

It is a manufacturing-focused solution that converts real factory conditions into accurate, engineering-ready CAD and Building Information Modeling (BIM) layouts. Using mobile Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) scanning, photogrammetry, indoor positioning, and rule-driven layout logic, the platform helps teams plan equipment placement, piping, and HVAC layouts directly on real site geometry and seamlessly hand off validated data to BIM tools.

Designed for fast-changing manufacturing environments, CCTech delivers Scan to BIM as an end-to-end intelligence platform service. This platform helps avoid unnecessary rework, layout clashes, and delayed decisions due to manual measurements and outdated manufacturing layouts.

Core Capabilities

The Scan-to-BIM Journey: From Reality Capture to Layout Intelligence

Each capability is a stage in one connected pipeline — capturing the real factory, building its digital context, and turning it into validated, shareable manufacturing layouts.

STAGE 01Capture

Mobile Reality Capture & Spatial Context Modeling

Factory interiors are captured using mobile LiDAR scanning & photogrammetry through mobile, web, & desktop. Our platform converts raw scans in measurable 3D models with an accurate spatial foundation.

STAGE 02Position

Indoor Positioning & Path Tracking

High positional accuracy is maintained through IMU and Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO). The indoor path, alignment, and drift are tracked and corrected using sensor fusion, without utilizing GPS.

STAGE 03Map

Asset, Equipment & Constraint Mapping

Structured layouts are designed by identifying obstructions and no-go zones. The equipment, utilities, and obstructions are positioned into usable layouts. Reusable assets and libraries contain metadata, notes, and site images for downstream layout validation.

STAGE 04Author & Validate

Manufacturing Layout Authoring, Validation & Outputs

Early pipe/duct layout through a skeleton modeling approach. Angle snapping with dimension measurement yields output data, including pipe diameter calculations, pressure drop calculations, & BOM.

CAD, BIM & Web-Based Collaboration

Our Scan to BIM service platform provides seamless hand-off layouts into CAD and BIM tools using web browser-based visualization. The scans, drawings, BOMs, and layouts are reviewed through centralized dashboards and role-based access. The platform provides multi-language user interfaces and configurable language packs per deployment.
