INOVx Announces Availability of RealityLINx® Exchange – Software That Streamlines Use of Laser Scan Data in Engineering Design
INOVx Solutions, Inc. announced the availability of RealityLINx® Exchange, its software for maximizing the use and value of laser scan point cloud data. Users can work efficiently with scan data directly in popular CAD environments as well as in RealityLINx. RealityLINx Exchange simplifies viewing, slicing, navigating, measuring, and working with photo realistic point cloud data and speeds up the design and drawing creation processes.
“With RealityLINx Exchange the actual physical conditions are rendered in the common engineering design tools in a way that maximizes accuracy and usability,” said INOVx Solutions CEO Costantino Lanza. “When you couple this with RealityLINx Model then a truly optimal workflow is achieved that incorporates precise as-built conditions into the design processes. And just as important, this capability completes the functionality needed for the Management of Change of enterprise asset data in complex plant environments thus enabling our clients to maintain accurate as-built information for the life of their facilities.”
During the Beta Test Period, RealityLINx Exchange was found to be highly functional. A leading process industry client performed a detailed comparative study of the five leading software products capable of rendering laser scan point cloud data and concluded RealityLINx Exchange to be the most functional. They selected it as their best-in-class product on which to standardize corporate use.
“This is a great affirmation that the new capabilities we have added to RealityLINx for Exchange meet or exceed our client’s needs and expectations,” said David Reinhart, Chief Technologist for INOVx Solutions. “Having a major process industry company adopt it as their corporate standard tells me we are doing the right thing.”
RealityLINx Exchange is built upon the common code base of RealityLINx, INOVx’s Virtualization software, using Microsoft .NET technology. This provides the most extensive set of capabilities for working with accurate and precise virtual reality models. The common user interface is ideal for use by operations and maintenance personnel as well as plant engineers. RealityLINx also provides access to the all enterprise asset data and is architected as a client-server application thus permitting multiple simultaneous use of the data and the virtual model. In this release there is support for Bentley Systems Microstation, Intergraph PDS and AVEVA PDMS. RealityLINx Exchange supports laser scan data in leading vendor formats (i.e., ASCII, FLS, PTX, ZFC, and ZFS files).
