3D tour for warehouse and production: inventory and labor protection
3D tour for warehouse and production: inventory and labor protection In short: a 3D tour of a production warehouse is a digital twin of a workshop or warehouse complex, which you can walk through from any device. We shoot with a Matterport Pro3 camera, measurement accuracy is ±1 cm, a typical object of 2000 m² is ready in 5–7 days. A 3D tour of a production warehouse solves three problems at once: it records the actual location of equipment and shelving, helps labor safety inspectors conduct an audit without going to the site, and speeds up inventory by 3-4 times. At 360° Space we rented a foundry in Chelyabinsk, an 8,500 m² floor tile warehouse in the Moscow region, and a food packaging production facility in Krasnodar. In each case, the customer received not a picture for the site, but a working tool for the operation service. A good example is a furniture factory near Kazan. They had 4 workshops in different buildings, the chief engineer did not physically have time to go around everything during the shift. After filming the tour, he began doing his morning rounds directly from his tablet from his office, noting bottlenecks in the comments. Why does production need a 3D tour? The benefits of introducing a tour are calculated in man-hours and missed fines. Here's what our clients get in real numbers: Inventory is 3-4 times faster. At the building mixtures warehouse in Tula, the recount used to take 2 days for a team of 5 people. With the tour - 6 hours, one storekeeper: opened the stage, walked through the virtual rows, checked with the accounting system. Remote labor safety audit. The SOT inspector checks the width of passages (according to SP 1.13130 - at least 1 meter), the presence of fire extinguishers, and zone markings. Measurements taken directly during the tour, error ±1 cm. Reduction of travel expenses by 60–80%. Contractors, insurance agents, auditors view the property online. One of our clients, a manufacturer of metal structures, saved 340 thousand rubles per quarter on flights for customer representatives alone. Evidence base for insurance. After a fire or flood, the tour records the “before” state. In one case, this helped the client receive a payment of 1.2 million more than the insurance company originally offered. Training of new employees. A warehouse intern learns the layout in an evening instead of a week of “running around with a mentor.” How it works - the shooting process We shoot with a Matterport Pro3 camera with a lidar scanner. The camera is placed on a tripod, rotates in 20 seconds, and the operator moves it every 2–3 meters. For a production workshop with an area of 1500 m², about 250–300 scanning positions are needed, which is 1–2 work shifts of continuous shooting. An important point: it is better not to stop the equipment. Modern lidar works normally when cars and people are moving in the background - the algorithm eliminates moving objects when stitching. Once they removed the existing conveyor for the production of PET bottles and did not stop it for a minute. What we do after the shooting: We stitch the scans into a single 3D model (3-4 days of processing at a typical site). We place labels for equipment, cabinets with personal protective equipment, and emergency exits. We generate floor plans with reference to actual dimensions - useful for designers. We provide the customer with a tour with the possibility of embedding it into the corporate portal. There are three storage options to choose from. First: 360° Space cloud, our servers with technical support and backup. Second: we deploy the tour on the customer’s infrastructure (relevant for industries with a secret regime - Russian Railways, defense industry, pharmaceuticals). Third: offline assembly for PC or a separate version for the Meta Quest VR headset, works without the Internet - we were just asked to do this for the exhibition stand of a machine-building plant in Yekaterinburg.

Production facilities and warehouses are the most predictable budget segment, because they usually have simple geometry and no decor that requires delicate processing. Guidelines according to our price list: warehouse up to 1000 m² - from 45,000 ₽, production workshop 1000-3000 m² - 80,000-150,000 ₽, complex from 5000 m² - individual calculation with on-site approval. The price includes shooting, processing, hosting for a year in the cloud and technical support. Additionally paid: travel allowances beyond 100 km from Moscow, night shooting (if production cannot be stopped), integration with 1C or WMS of the customer. Accurate calculation for your object - in a minute in the calculator. Frequently asked questions Is it possible to film without stopping production? Yes, in most cases. Matterport Pro3 lidar screens out moving objects during stitching. It is necessary to stop the equipment only when shooting very narrow spaces, where the operator cannot physically pass by the working machine. Is the tour suitable for the Ministry of Emergency Situations and Rostechnadzor inspections? The tour does not replace official evacuation plans and technical documentation, but is used as a supplement. The inspector can preview the property, speeding up the inspection. Measurements on tour have an accuracy of ±1 cm and are taken as approximate data. What if the territory has a trade secret regime? We deploy the tour on the customer’s server without transferring data to the cloud. For particularly sensitive objects, we do offline assembly, which runs on an isolated PC without Internet access. We sign an NDA before the start of filming. Calculate costProject catalogMatterport
