Established as part of the Allinq Group under the leadership of Leander Goor, Allinq Digital specializes in delivering digital services such as scan to BIM for AEC customers. The firm is committed to keeping a majority of its operations within the Netherlands, which inspires forward-thinking approaches to technology as a way to reduce labor costs.
In this two-part case study, we’ll explore Allinq Digital’s technological innovations. In this first part, we’ll see how the firm has transformed its scan-to-BIM workflow with wearable laser scanning technology and automated modeling software.
In particular, we’ll look at a series of projects Allinq Digital performed for Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. Here, Goor and his team used NavVis wearable laser scanning systems and some clever in-house tools to reduce the cost of BIM modeling, help the airport take on projects that were impossible before, and even lay the groundwork for a forthcoming AR wayfinding application.
Mini case study: The Schiphol Point Cloud Challenge
Allinq Digital first collaborated with Schiphol when the firm took on the airport’s Point Cloud Challenge in 2019.
The airport organized the challenge because they wanted to explore the value that could be derived from comparing multiple point clouds taken in the same space over time. To that end, they invited companies across the Netherlands to delve into 3D data sets captured by the airport, perform analysis, and present their insights. The competition focused on one particular terminal that was undergoing partial reconstruction at the time.
Allinq Digital began by conducting a comparative analysis of two point clouds taken at different times in order to detect what had changed between the captures. Then, they updated the Revit model accordingly to maintain Schiphol’s extensive asset records.
The team also proposed a more innovative solution for keeping the model up to date in the future. They observed that the airport was equipped with various other sensors capable of capturing geometry. Why not leverage those as well?
