Re: We now have smartphones with lasers
it allows for a scan of as-built conditions and create point cloud of products on racks. That we then use for model mock ups to evaluate warehouse and sales location conditions. Much faster for the forecasting work, and has enabled us to turn around the preparation work from weeks to days. Walking through with the phone makes this a mobile way of use compared to a fixed position unit. Cost is lower, production is faster. We don't need a highly detailed model - this is just for quick checks. 'Walking' around the lidar created model allows us to see stuff that we might have missed if we were taking photos or doing a product count.
