Indoor Mapping and BIM Solutions

Overview and Expertise

At Crocsoft, we bring the power of indoor mapping to the forefront by combining Building Information Modeling (BIM), LiDAR scanning, and advanced indoor navigation systems. Our indoor mapping solutions are designed to help facility managers, architects, and developers track assets, optimize building layouts, and enhance safety through accurate 3D visualizations. We work with leading platforms like Matterport, which provides high-fidelity indoor scans, and integrate those scans into functional, interactive maps that serve various industries from healthcare to commercial real estate.

Our expertise includes creating detailed indoor maps, capturing spatial data through LiDAR technology, and visualizing indoor environments in 3D. From asset tracking to emergency evacuation planning, our solutions help you make informed decisions in managing indoor spaces.

Process and Approach

Our approach to indoor mapping and BIM integration is grounded in precision, scalability, and user interactivity. Below is our step-by-step process:

  1. LiDAR Scanning and BIM Integration:
    We start with LiDAR scanning or photogrammetry using platforms like Matterport to capture highly accurate 3D models of indoor environments. These scans are processed to extract spatial data, which is then integrated into BIM models for advanced building management and planning. Through BIM, every asset and architectural detail within the building is digitally mapped, making it easy to manage structural and operational aspects of indoor spaces.

    • BIM Integration: The BIM process allows us to track and manage building elements such as walls, doors, HVAC systems, and more in a centralized model. BIM also supports asset tracking, enabling facility managers to log and monitor the exact location of critical assets in real-time.
  2. Indoor Asset Navigation:
    One of the core benefits of our indoor mapping services is the ability to create real-time navigation solutions within buildings. These solutions guide users through complex indoor environments, whether it's a shopping mall, hospital, or corporate office. Using a combination of indoor positioning systems (IPS), Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, we create highly accurate navigation systems to help users easily locate rooms, offices, equipment, or other assets.

    Our indoor navigation solutions also extend to asset management. For instance, facility managers can track the movement and location of assets such as medical equipment or IT hardware in real time.

  3. Emergency Exit Planning and Safety Maps:
    Safety is a key aspect of any indoor environment. We help businesses and organizations implement comprehensive emergency exit plans using our indoor mapping solutions. These plans include:

    • Dynamic emergency exit routes: Real-time guidance for people inside a building during emergencies.
    • Heatmaps of high-traffic areas**: Identifying potential bottlenecks in emergency situations.
    • Fire and hazard mapping: Visualizing potential risks and planning safer evacuation routes.

    Our emergency planning maps are dynamic, meaning they can adjust to real-time changes such as blocked routes, making them invaluable for emergency response teams and building managers.

  4. Interactive 3D Visualization:
    Through platforms like Matterport and Cesium, we bring your indoor spaces to life with immersive 3D environments. These visualizations allow users to "walk through" buildings virtually, interacting with different assets and inspecting spaces in detail. For instance, users can zoom into specific areas of a building, view assets such as HVAC systems or electrical infrastructure, and monitor their status.

    Real-time asset tracking in these 3D visualizations makes it easy for facility managers to check the location of important items or equipment, facilitating efficient resource management. Our models are designed to be both detailed and interactive, providing stakeholders with the tools to explore and optimize building layouts.

  5. Reconstruction and Simulation in Virtual Environments:
    We also specialize in reconstructing indoor environments for historical buildings or facilities that have been altered or demolished. By using archived blueprints, historical data, and existing scans, we can digitally recreate entire indoor spaces and structures. These reconstructions serve as valuable tools for architects, historians, or facility managers looking to preserve or analyze old structures.

    Once reconstructed, these indoor spaces can be used in a virtual reality (VR) or gaming environment, where users can explore the building layout in a fully interactive simulation. This application is particularly useful for training scenarios, building walkthroughs, and project planning.
