Traditional Scan-to-BIM requires expensive CAD remodeling and still misses details. With UDiTH, scans become intelligent 3D objects through clipping and spraying — linkable, taggable, and enriched with documents. This makes captured reality an active part of the Digital Twin.
The Challenge
Industrial facilities often lack up-to-date documentation.
- Many assets have no reliable 3D models or only outdated CAD data.
- Classic Scan-to-BIM approaches require slow, costly remodelling in CAD.
- Point clouds and meshes remain static and cannot be linked to engineering data.
- Knowledge about changes in the field gets lost.
The result: projects face delays, added cost, and higher risks in execution.
The UDiTH Solution
UDiTH introduces Scan to Twin — turning raw laser scans into a usable digital twin without CAD re-modelling:
Clipping & Spraying
Convert visual scan data into real 3D objects that are linkable, addressable, and enriched with attributes, tags, and documents.
Smart Enrichment
Add equipment IDs, specifications, and maintenance documents directly to scanned objects.
Integration
Connect enriched scan data with P&IDs, equipment lists, and document management systems.
Accessibility
Make captured reality lightweight, navigable, and available across devices.
Collaboration
Enable teams to sketch, markup, and report directly on top of scan-derived objects.

Benefits & KPIs – measurable impact
- From Static to IntelligentScans become active 3D objects in the digital twin, not just wireframes.Documentation gaps closed by >90% without full CAD remodeling.
- Faster AvailabilityScans can be turned into usable 3D objects within days instead of months.Project handover accelerated up to 10× faster.
- Lower CostsAvoid full re-modelling of scans in CAD systems.Scan-to-BIM costs reduced by up to 80–90%.
- Improved CollaborationScans, documents, and tasks all in one environment.Review and planning effort reduced by 20–30%.
