SIM2Field

SIM2Field complements Layher SIM in the field of execution. The integrated concept creates a continuous, digital process, from 3D scaffolding process, from 3D scaffolding planning to completion of the scaffolding on the construction site.
The 3D scaffolding model data from LayPLAN CAD is used efficiently for assembly. Thanks to SIM2Field, potential sources of error are avoided when measuring and creating the scaffolding, even with complex geometry, and paper plans are reduced.

Reliable layout based on the 3D model data
Requirement
3D scaffolding planning based on LayPLAN CAD is a prerequisite for SIM2Field. If no 3D data is available for the object, the terrain/building geometry can also be captured using a 3D laser scanner for existing objects.
Control and data transfer by using a tablet PC
Reference points

At least three reference points are defined in the planning and on the construction site for measuring.

Stationing

The total station orients itself in the real environment using the three known reference points.

Fully assembled and calibrated shoring
Positioning
The position of the scaffolding structure can be projected onto the floor using laser points. The base spindles are roughly positioned there. The position and height of the scaffolding can then be precisely measured using the prism.

The Benefits for You

  • End-to-end, digital SIM process right through to the construction site
  • Direct utilisation of the 3D scaffolding model data from ­LayPLAN CAD for assembly
  • Avoidance of potential sources of error when measuring and creating scaffolding, even with complex geometry
  • Reduction of paper plans
Target group and usage
  • Scaffolding manufacturers who have a detailed 3D scaffolding plan (execution planning) based on LayPLAN CAD
  • Direct use of the 3D model to create scaffolding structures on the construction site
  • Ideal for creating scaffolding structures that are difficult to measure conventionally or where high accuracy is very important, e.g. complex industrial plants, shoring, etc.
Requirements
  • 3D scaffolding planning based on LayPLAN CAD incl. reference to the real environment (e.g. three reference points)
