Assignment
Great demands are made on the Facility Management sections of large industrial, chemical and similar plant areas. Those responsible can be given support in fulfilling their tasks through digital, geo-referenced terrain models with up-to-date data. Siemens has commissioned CENALO, one of LOGIBALL’s partners to record the infrastructure of the Siemens Technology Park in Mülheim-an-der-Ruhr. This involves creating an orthophoto which delivers up-to-date aerial photographs as well as data for existing documentation. Over and beyond this Siemens has also commissioned aerial photographs of individual buildings as oblique photographs as well as a full view of the Technology Park. Here a point accuracy of five centimetres has to be maintained for the land-use mapping and subsequent data maintenance.

The LOGIBALL Solution
The two partner companies were able to offer Siemens a direct all-in-one service. This offer ranged from flight planning and obtaining the necessary authorization through to setting up the flight robot and on to the finished orthophoto. It took just thirty minutes and an altitude of a mere 150 metres for the flight robot to record the site. In order to reference the photographs, control points were marked out on the ground and/or natural control points were subsequently measured. LOGIBALL‘s Map Engineering Team went on to process the aerial photographs to come up with a finished orthophoto.

Success
Flight robots are ideally suited to record industrial, chemical and other company premises. They are fast and flexible in use and present a cost-effective alternative to the production of aerial photographs. Thanks to the low altitude this technology guarantees a high pixel resolution, achieving an accuracy of down to two centimetres.
