Case Study: General Motors reduces reality capture costs with Cintoo 360 Edition

General Motors democratizes reality capture for 6,500 users with Cintoo

General Motors, a global automotive manufacturer, faced the challenge of maintaining current site condition data across its complex manufacturing plants. Their existing reliance on high-accuracy but time-consuming and costly terrestrial laser scanning, provided by vendor Cintoo, created inefficiencies and gaps in day-to-day visibility, leading to over-capturing data just to ensure nothing was missed.

Cintoo implemented its 360 Edition solution to complement GM's laser scanning. This allowed on-site teams to use 360 cameras for frequent, lightweight captures between high-fidelity scans, democratizing the process and eliminating unnecessary work. The solution made laser scanning more targeted and cost-effective, enhanced collaboration across teams and suppliers, and provided continuous, reliable visibility, enabling more confident decision-making across GM's global operations.
