The Challenge
BNBuilders’ Innovation, Geomatics, and Survey teams faced significant bottlenecks when processing scan data for major projects.
Their existing enterprise-grade Dell Precision laptops were taking between 4.5 and 20 hours to import large point clouds.
- Project Goals
The team aimed to drastically reduce point cloud import times and eliminate long wait periods.
Additionally, they sought to increase operational efficiency across their regional survey and innovation teams and validate if BIMBOX hardware provided a measurable return on investment.
Solutions
ATG’s BIMBOX specialists, Brad Clark and Barry Merklin, provided high-performance hardware solutions.
This included Stryker V Desktops and Slim Pro Laptops, both configured with 128GB of RAM to handle intensive data processing.
Business Outcomes
The shift in hardware resulted in massive performance gains.
A large project scan that previously took up to 20 hours on Dell hardware was completed in just 52 minutes on the BIMBOX Desktop and approximately 1.5 hours on the BIMBOX Laptop.
BIMBOX cut their scan import time by 77.8-95%. That’s 3-17 hours PER scan.
We saved about 80 to 95 percent of time. The BIMBOX desktop already paid for itself based on time alone.
