A crew heads out to a substation. Not to make repairs, but simply to measure clearances and verify equipment layouts. The trip takes hours, requires safety protocols, and still puts people near energized assets, all for a task that could be done another way.
Autonomous scanning changes the equation. With Leica’s BLK ARC mounted on a robotic carrier, utilities can capture a full digital record of their assets without sending people into hazardous environments. Substations, towers, and plants can be scanned in a single visit, with data accurate enough to serve engineers, planners, and GIS specialists alike.
The result isn’t just better documentation. It’s fewer site visits, less disruption to operations, and reduced risk for the people you rely on every day.
At IMAGINiT, we help utilities move beyond the scan itself. Our team ensures BLK ARC data connects directly to Autodesk, GIS, and enterprise systems so it becomes more than a file; it becomes an asset that drives decisions. We also train teams on new workflows, helping organizations replace outdated records with accessible, metadata-rich 3D models.
Field safety and operational efficiency are no longer competing priorities. With the right tools and the right partner, utilities can protect their crews, reduce disruption, and build the connected digital foundation needed for the future.
