Industrial Metrology & Site Layout

Metrology – Precision Measurement & Digital Layout

Industrial metrology and site layout services provide the measurement, verification and positioning control required for accurate machinery installation, production line integration and factory relocation. Beck & Pollitzer delivers advanced industrial metrology solutions, combining laser tracker measurement, industrial alignment expertise and robotic site layout powered by HP SitePrint.

From initial site layout planning through to final tolerance verification, our teams ensure millimetre-level accuracy across complex industrial environments, reducing installation errors, minimising rework and protecting project timelines.

Industrial metrology & laser measurement
Our metrology teams provide high-precision industrial measurement services across demanding environments, including Automotive, EV, heavy industry and Data Centres.

Our industrial metrology capability includes industrial 3D metrology and industrial laser measurement services, supporting precise facility mapping, measurement checks and specification verification across large-scale installations. Using advanced laser tracker systems and 3D measurement technology, we deliver:

Large-scale 3D coordinate measurement for complex facility mapping
Industrial laser measurement and alignment verification
Dimensional inspection and strict tolerance control
Jigs, fixtures and tooling qualification with or without parts
As-built measurement and detailed reporting for project compliance

Our ability to capture and validate spatial data ensures that every installation is executed precisely to the design intent, regardless of project scale or complexity.

Robotic site layout powered by HP SitePrint
Beck & Pollitzer integrates the HP SitePrint autonomous robot into our industrial layout services, bridging the gap between digital design and physical site reality. As pioneers in robotic site layout services, we deploy this technology to automate the marking process directly from CAD and BIM data, effectively eliminating manual human error.

Our engineers are factory-trained by HP and GeoTopo experts to ensure the highest standards of digital-to-physical data integrity. By combining this robotic precision with our more than a century of metrology expertise, we deliver a seamless BIM to Field workflow that is compatible with diverse surfaces, including concrete, vinyl, tarmac, and plywood.

Performance Metric	Traditional Manual Layout	Robotic HP SitePrint Layout
Execution Speed	Moderate / Manual marking	Up to 10x Faster
Precision	Risk of human/tape drift	Guaranteed ±2mm Accuracy
Workflow	Manual plan interpretation	Direct BIM to Field Integration
Data Integrity	Prone to marking errors	Automated Digital-to-Physical Transfer
Scaling	Time-intensive for large areas	High Repeatability across 1000s of m²

Installation alignment & accuracy control
Beyond layout marking, we provide full installation control and alignment services to ensure equipment operates within specified tolerances before commissioning. This integrated approach ensures precision from first measurement to final adjustment. Our capabilities include:

Machinery alignment & levelling: Precise positioning for heavy equipment.
Production line & conveyor alignment: Ensuring high-speed systems run without friction or wear.
Pre-commissioning checks: Final verification to secure operational readiness.

Applications across industrial environments
Our industrial metrology and robotic site layout services support factory relocations, production line installations, warehouse and logistics facilities, data centre projects and brownfield retrofits. By combining laser tracker measurements, industrial alignment expertise and HP SitePrint technology, we secure critical installation phases and reduce the risk of rework, misalignment and delays.

Case Study

Robotic site layout by HP robot SitePrint for Data Centre installation

Beck & Pollitzer delivered precision robotic site layout services for a data centre project, supporting the installation of electrical cabinets within a 215 m² technical room.

Using advanced digital layout workflows and robotic marking technology, our team transferred the installation design directly onto the floor, ensuring accurate positioning of all base plates and equipment locations.

Scope of work:

Preparation and validation of layout drawings
Establishment of precise control points for layout accuracy
Digital-to-floor transfer of equipment positions
Robotic floor marking of base plates and installation zones
Final verification and completion reporting in line with project specifications

Project considerations:
To ensure accuracy and efficiency, the project included detailed identification and labelling of all components within the room, assessment of floor conditions to determine the most suitable marking materials, and careful planning of robot navigation paths to avoid obstacles and ensure continuous, uninterrupted operation.

Results:

Total area covered: 215 m²
Execution time: Less than 5 hours
Productivity rate: ~44 m² per hour
Manual equivalent: Approx. 15 hours
Output: Over 1,200 accurately printed layout elements

The use of robotic site layout significantly reduced installation time while improving accuracy and repeatability compared to traditional manual methods. The success of this project has led to further discussions for deployment on a new factory project.
