The digital transformation of industrial facilities and the implementation of 3D technologies require well-informed, carefully justified decisions. To enable organizations to evaluate real benefits before committing to a full-scale investment, 3Deling offers the Webpano Mini Pilot Program – a practical, small-scale pilot project that allows digitalization to be tested in real operational conditions.
This approach requires only limited organizational resources while providing a reliable way to assess Webpano’s functionality, the quality of 3D data, and the overall applicability of the technology.

Why the Mini Pilot Program is the best starting point for digitalization
The Mini Pilot enables an objective evaluation of spatial data and Webpano tools used in daily plant operations. It offers:
-
reduced investment risk,
-
the ability to test the operational platform using real plant data,
-
multi-user access and collaboration,
-
direct support from the 3Deling team,
-
an intelligent 3D model of a selected element, complete with attributes demonstrating the potential of information-rich modeling,
-
optional P&ID integration – a diagram can be incorporated into Webpano and linked to model elements or point cloud data. This makes it possible to assess how full integration of process documentation with 3D data improves analysis and verification of the plant’s actual condition,
-
minimal organizational and financial effort required to evaluate the feasibility of a full implementation.
How the pilot program works
1. Consultation and selection of the pilot area
Analysis of organizational needs and identification of a plant area that best illustrates the value of the technology.
2. Site assessment and planning
Initial evaluation of site conditions, safety and logistical factors, followed by preparation of a scanning plan.
3. 3D laser scanning and 360° panoramas
Execution of 3D measurements and panoramic documentation of the selected area.
4. Data processing and 3D modeling
Point cloud processing of the scanned pilot area, along with the creation of a single selected 3D element enriched with technical attributes.
5. Data deployment in Webpano
System configuration, user registration, role assignment and a brief training session. The 3D data becomes available online to operational, engineering and maintenance teams.
6. Results review
Discussion of the pilot outcomes, identification of possible use cases, and evaluation of how digitalization can support technical and business processes.
7. Decision on continuation
After the pilot period, the Webpano license is activated only if a full implementation is selected; otherwise, it expires without any charges.
Pilot program – small scope, significant value
Thanks to its low entry threshold, the pilot program enables:
-
assessment of measurable digitalization benefits,
-
verification and validation of technical documentation,
-
improved planning of maintenance and modernization activities,
-
preparation of the organization for further digitalization,
-
establishing foundations for a future digital twin of the facility.
The Webpano Mini Pilot Program is a small investment that allows a reliable assessment of how digitalization can improve safety, operational efficiency and CAPEX/OPEX management.
