3D Laser Scanning Specialist

Z+F UK is just one branch of the hugely successful Z+F corporation, which was founded by Mr Zoller and Fröhlich. With over 45 years of experience and innovation, we have become leaders in the field of data capture, geospatial measurement and 3D laser scanning.

Z+F has been developing and distributing profiling and imaging laser measurement systems since the early 1990's in order to create a global corporation. Z+F UK specialises in 3D laser scanning, and re-sell Z+F 3D laser scanning technology in the UK. Our time, resources and commitment are focused exclusively on 3D laser scanning solutions. This ethos has placed Z+F UK firmly at the forefront of the industry.

With offices and partnerships world wide, Z+F UK is able to meet laser scan needs. Customers from a range of industries believe our software and hardware innovations combined with our strong support make us the best at being able to meet their laser scanning requirements.

Why Laser Scanning?

3D laser scanners allow the user to capture in the region of one million points a second. By utilising this powerful technology, the user is able to spend less time on site capturing as-built information, dramatically reducing project timescales and costs. Project timescales can also be reduced from the design and construction phases by up to 80% and 20% respectively. Overall schedule compressions of 10% have been reported.

By providing the designer with a detailed “as-built” knowledge of the plant, 3D laser scanning mitigates project risks and reduces design-rework thereby also reducing costs. Laser scanning has reduced total installed cost for brownfield projects by 5-7% and has reduced contingencies for rework to less than 2% compared to traditional survey methods.

Outside the EPC environment, Owner / Operators are now also recognising the benefits of laser scanning as an integral part of their asset management strategy. Laser scan data and models derived from it form a key element of the strategy to manage plant throughout its life cycle.
