How it works on your site
The SkyMul Digital Twin QC is a drone-based site inspection system that captures aerial imagery and LiDAR data to generate digital replicas for quality control on concrete and tilt-up construction. It covers three subtasks within the QC job: 3D scanning and point cloud capture, drone survey and aerial documentation, and drawing-to-panel comparison for error detection. The product is listed as shipping; all documented evidence comes from the maker.
BIM-to-Field Comparison (Scan-vs-BIM)
SkyMul aligns the project's construction drawings with the as-built tilt-up panels in its daily digital replica and alerts the team to misaligned embeds and anchor bolts before the pour. Color-coded elevation heatmaps show where the work is out of tolerance, and the project team tags each error from the office for correction on site.
Drone Survey and Aerial Documentation
Each SkyMul capture starts with an autonomous drone flight over the job site and ends with a digital replica that is updated daily. Superintendents and project managers then walk the site virtually, in about five minutes, and tag construction errors without going onsite.
3D Scanning and Point Cloud Capture
Automated drones fly the site and capture high-resolution imagery and LiDAR data, which is processed into a digital replica. The system compares sequential scans to track daily changes and flag discrepancies over time.
