Facility Managers, meet your new 30-minute game changer.
Inspections, walkthroughs, documentation — they’re part of your everyday work. But in a world where teams are remote, sites are spread out, and time is tight, old tools like PDFs, photos, and paper checklists are slowing you down.
That’s where Beamo comes in. Beamo lets you create a full 360° digital twin of any site — faster than ever. No LiDAR. No manual work. No limits. Just walk, shoot.
Whether you’re managing one building or dozens of plants, this guide shows you how easy it is to get started. No expertise required — just your smartphone, camera, and the Beamo App.
You’ll need the following:
Beamo's speed and flexibility are underpinned by a critical differentiator: its advanced positioning technology.
Capturing a digital twin isn't just about images — it's about where those images are taken. Accurate indoor positioning directly impacts the quality, fidelity, and reliability of your digital twin.
While many tools rely on GPS-denied SLAM variants or limited IMU-based mapping, Beamo is built on Advanced V-SLAM, a proprietary indoor positioning algorithm developed for high-accuracy capture in complex environments like factories, hospitals, and telecom facilities.
What this means for you:
In short: Better positioning = Better digital twins.
Beamo isn't just faster — it's more flexible, more field-friendly, and built to scale where traditional tools fall short.
The following comparison is based on internal benchmarks and may vary depending on environment, site complexity, and hardware setup.
💬 Build speed is just as important as capture speed. When generating a 3D view from 400 scan points, traditional systems can take anywhere from 6 to 48 hours — or even longer in large facilities. Beamo completes the same process in just 5 to 10 minutes, thanks to its fully automated backend.| Feature | Traditional Tools (e.g. LiDAR scanners, video capture) | Beamo |

Beamo was designed for operational speed, simplicity, and scale — without sacrificing accuracy or control.
✅ Automated Capture
Beamo auto-maps image, direction, and location — no manual input needed.
✅ Real-time Position Tracking
See where you are capturing in real-time to avoid duplicate shots or gaps.
✅ Flexible Point Spacing
Shoot at intervals of 2 to 10 meters based on how detailed your capture needs to be.
✅ Partial Updates
Capture just one section and replace only that part of the 3D View. No need to redo the entire site.
✅ Unlimited Capture — No Site Size Limits
Beamo allows you to capture 1,000+ points in one session.
Unlike competitors limited to 200 scans or 20-minute videos, Beamo scales with your facility.
