Congratulations to our colleague Lorenzo Orlandi on his academic achievement Phd!

Congratulations to our colleague Lorenzo Orlandi, who has successfully completed his PhD in Industrial Innovation at the University of Trento, culminating a journey that began in 2021 within the MMLab (Multimedia Signal Processing and Understanding Lab) research group of the university’s Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science.

Lorenzo’s research focused on the development of digital 3D models based on the acquisition of real-world scenarios and their application through extended reality.

His final thesis, titled “How the blend of physical and digital worlds is reshaping the industrial field”, analyzes the challenges posed by the integration of digital and physical worlds, with a specific focus on the application domain of Arcoda.

From Lorenzo’s extensive research efforts and with the support and expertise of the Arcoda team, 3D Photo Survey was born—an innovative system that revolutionizes key processes in distribution network management.

This technology enables the automatic generation of precise, realistic, and georeferenced 3D models of underground network excavation sites, using only a smartphone paired with a compact differential correction GPS receiver.

The resulting 3D models, viewable in augmented reality even after excavations are closed, streamline the management, traceability, maintenance, and safety of network infrastructure while reducing operational time and costs.

Once again, congratulations to Lorenzo for this remarkable achievement and for successfully translating academic research into tangible advancements in utility processes!

Water meter data immediately on the smartphone, in augmented reality.

With a special module of Next, the Arcoda app dedicated to supporting the field workers, field staff can check individual meters simply by framing the relevant barcode or QR code with their smartphone camera. Arcoda Next, in augmented reality, will superimpose contract and meter data on the meter itself, providing the operator with the information he needs. The fastest, easiest and most natural way to get information from meters!

With Arcoda 3D Photo Survey, utility excavations become a goldmine of data!

Thanks to 3D Photo Survey, network providers can perform expeditious excavation surveys using just a standard smartphone paired with an affordable, high-precision GPS device.

What do you get?

  • Precise, georeferenced 3D models of underground network infrastructure, automatically uploaded to your corporate GIS, ready for web visualization or CAD export.
  • Highly detailed orthophotos without the need for aerial equipment. Images are automatically added to your corporate GIS, ready for web visualization or CAD export.

With 3D Photo Survey, utility excavations become a strategic source of data that traditional surveys would lose. This makes it easy to develop a detailed and three-dimensional map of network infrastructure, accessible long-term even after excavations are closed!
