How 3D Visualisation Maximises Logistical Efficiency and Reduces Cost

Osprey Group, a leader in the specialist logistics industry, continues to lead the way in digital innovation with its latest investment in cutting-edge technology. Renowned for its commitment to digitisation, Osprey Group has delivered significant competitive advantage using Swept Path Analysis to meticulously plan routes for abnormal loads across public highways and complex sites.

Now, entering a new phase of digital transformation, Osprey Group will provide 3D visualisation services marking a significant advancement in operational capabilities. This groundbreaking technology promises to significantly advance logistics operations, particularly on sites where space is at a premium, by enhancing accuracy, efficiency, and safety.

The benefits of using 3D visualisation for specialist logistics operations include:

• Enhanced Accuracy: Offers precision in manoeuvring abnormal loads across complex sites, minimising risks and optimising efficiency.
• Streamlined Operations: Reduces manpower requirements for measuring routes and locations, allowing Osprey Group to allocate resources more efficiently.
• Real-Time Analysis: The accessibility of cloud data allows real-time analysis across multiple locations, decentralising skills and empowering teams to make informed decisions regardless of their physical location.
• Faster Scanning: Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM) technology enables scanning up to 10 times faster than traditional terrestrial laser scanners, translating to significant time savings.
• Survey-Grade Point Cloud Quality: Delivers high-quality point cloud data at a global accuracy of 5mm, ensuring the highest level of precision in operations.
• Productivity Gains: Offers up to 82% reduction in labour time and up to 50% reduction in surveying costs, improving overall productivity.
• Superior Results: The technology aligns with Osprey Group’s commitment to delivering exceptional service and superior results while driving down operational costs.

Using the most accurate wearable 3D mapping device on the market, making it an ideal tool for Osprey Group’s specialist logistics services. Its high degree of accuracy is particularly advantageous when manoeuvring AILs (Abnormal Indivisible Loads) at complex sites, ensuring precision and safety in every operation. Additionally, the device facilitates a higher degree of accuracy when matching planning requirements with the realities of challenging sites, minimising risks and optimising efficiency.

One of the key advantages of the 3D visualisation is the ability to streamline operations by reducing manpower requirements. With less manpower required to measure routes or locations, Osprey Group can allocate resources more efficiently and focus on delivering exceptional service to their clients. Furthermore, the accessibility of cloud data enables real-time analysis across multiple locations, decentralising skills and empowering teams to make informed decisions regardless of their physical location.

Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM) technology enables scanning up to 10 times faster than traditional terrestrial laser scanners, unlocking the value of a hybrid workflow. This acceleration in scanning speed translates to significant time savings, both in the field and in the office. Coupled with the global accuracy of 5mm, Osprey Group can deliver survey-grade point cloud quality at scale, ensuring the highest level of precision in their operations.

“We are thrilled to incorporate 3D Visualisation into our logistics operations,” said Ben Young MEng (Hons), Project Engineer at Osprey Group. “The technology brings major improvements in efficiency and productivity without compromising on quality, aligning perfectly with our commitment to delivering exceptional service to our clients.”

The benefits extend beyond efficiency gains, with up to 82% reduction in labour time and up to 50% reduction in project costs. This remarkable improvement in productivity positions Osprey Group as a leader in the logistics industry, capable of delivering superior results while driving down operational costs.

As Osprey Group continues to invest in cutting-edge technology, they remain committed to providing innovative solutions and exceptional service to their clients, further solidifying their position as a trusted partner in the logistics sector.
