3D Laser Scanning & Digital Factory Capture in Zurich
Klose Industrial Service provides 3D laser scanning and digital factory capture in Zurich, Switzerland. Millimeter-accurate point clouds of your production halls and machinery give you reliable as-built documentation for relocation planning, layout design, and installation engineering.
In short
Klose Industrial Service captures factories and machinery in Zurich, Switzerland with terrestrial 3D laser scanners, delivering millimeter-accurate point clouds, 2D plans, CAD models, and scan-to-BIM data. Because Klose also plans and executes relocations and installations, the scan deliverables are engineered for real project use — transport route checks, layout planning, and clash detection — all captured without stopping your production.
What does 3D laser scanning of a factory in Zurich involve?
As Zurich is Switzerland's economic powerhouse with a concentration of precision manufacturing, pharmaceutical, and advanced technology companies, production facilities here are dense, constantly evolving environments where drawings rarely match reality. Klose Industrial Service captures complete as-built conditions throughout Zurich and the wider Switzerland region using terrestrial 3D laser scanners. In a single site visit we record production halls, machinery, building services, and structural elements as a millimeter-accurate point cloud — without interrupting your running production. The result is a reliable digital record of your plant exactly as it stands today.
How does laser scanning support relocation and layout planning in Zurich?
Every successful machine move starts with knowing the true dimensions. For relocation projects in Zurich, our scan data verifies transport routes, door and corridor clearances, ceiling heights, and floor conditions before the first machine is lifted. For new layouts, planners position equipment in the point cloud and detect clashes with columns, media supplies, or existing lines while changes are still free. Because Klose also executes the physical move, our scanning deliverables are engineered for what riggers and installation crews actually need on site.
What deliverables do you provide from a scan in Zurich?
Depending on your project in Zurich, we deliver registered point clouds (E57, RCP), 2D floor plans and sections, 3D CAD models, and scan-to-BIM outputs compatible with common planning tools. For ongoing projects we can host the data as a navigable digital twin, so your team and ours reference the same current as-built state from anywhere. All data is captured, processed, and quality-checked by our own engineers to German documentation standards — the same standard we apply to every Klose project in Switzerland.
Why choose Klose for 3D laser scanning in Zurich?
Scanning providers are plentiful; scanning providers who also relocate factories are not. Our teams in Zurich understand what the data will be used for — rigging studies, foundation checks, hook-up planning, and installation sequencing in Switzerland — because we perform that work ourselves. That means point clouds with the right density in the right places, deliverables aligned to project milestones, and one partner accountable from the first scan to the final commissioning of your relocated or newly installed equipment.
Scanning by your relocation partner vs. a standalone survey firm in Zurich
| Klose (scan + execution) | Standalone survey firm | |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose of the data | Captured for rigging, transport, and installation decisions | Generic capture, often misses project-critical detail |
| Accountability | One partner from scan to commissioning | Hand-off risk between surveyor and contractors |
| Scan density | Higher density where moves and hook-ups happen | Uniform density regardless of project needs |
| Follow-through | Same team uses the data on site during execution | Data interpretation left to third parties |
A point cloud is only as valuable as the decisions it enables — we scan factories the way we plan to move them.
3D laser scanning in Zurich — frequently asked questions
- Does scanning interrupt production in Zurich?
- No. Terrestrial laser scanning is non-contact and non-intrusive. Our engineers scan around your running operations in Zurich, typically completing a full production hall in one site visit.
- How accurate are the point clouds?
- Survey-grade terrestrial scanners capture geometry with millimeter accuracy. Registered point clouds are quality-checked by Klose engineers before delivery, so clearances, heights, and machine footprints can be trusted for engineering decisions.
- What file formats do you deliver?
- Standard deliverables include registered point clouds in E57 and RCP, 2D floor plans and sections, 3D CAD models, and BIM-compatible outputs. We align formats with the planning tools your team already uses.
- Can the scan be used to plan a relocation from or within Zurich?
- Yes — that is our specialty. We verify transport routes, door and corridor clearances, and floor conditions in the point cloud, then use the same data for rigging studies and installation sequencing when Klose executes the move.
