The Need for 3D Scanning Technologies
Meeting Materials
WebEx Project Update: Project Kick-off meeting – 5th March 2025
Meeting Summary: The meeting focused on 3D scanning technologies, their applications, and implementation strategies. Participants shared experiences and goals, while the presenter covered key scanning methods, including drone-based, backpack-mounted, and photogrammetry techniques. 3D scanning enhances substation modeling, reducing manual risks and enabling digital twins, AI-driven point cloud classification, and robotic missions. The discussion also highlighted the importance of aligning multiple scans, detecting changes over time, and integrating AI with software vendors. Moving forward, the team will evaluate vendors, conduct interviews, and refine specifications for their project.
