Disperse Scanning App

Disperse is a productivity platform for the construction industry. It emphasises data visualisation, making on-site activities easy to understand, prioritise, and act upon. Using site scanning and visual analytics, Disperse provides ready-to-use solutions that require minimal client input, promoting lean construction processes. In this initiative, we aimed at optimisation and automatisation of internal processes, in order to improve operational scalability.

Scanning app is a Disperse Internal Tool for site scanning teams. The site scanning process involves following a predetermined path, capturing 360o images at designated scenes, sending these pictures to Disperse, and providing additional notes, if necessary. The Disperse teams are responsible for manually mapping the pictures to the respective scenes in the progress tracking tools. The scanning app reduces the cost of scanning and scanning management, eliminating the need for mapping images, and enhancing the quality of photos.

Client:
Disperse Site Scanners and Managers

Solution:
A mobile app for scanning that provides the scanner with the latest map and displays scene sequences for capturing 360o images. It gives feedback, allows retakes, and skips scenes if necessary. It also reports and provides reasons if a scene can’t be scanned. The app must comply with safety regulations and work with Disperse’s scanning equipment.

Impact:
The Scanning App streamlines the interaction between the management team and the scanners, making sure that the maps are up to date and that the images are accurately mapped to their respective scenes. The scanners can submit images in a couple of clicks, rather than uploading them through Google Docs, staying safety compliant on a construction site. The shutter time feedback reduces the risk of taking blurry images.
