Portfolio highlights

• LIGHTYX — LightYX has developed BeamerOne‏‏™, a robotic system that utilizes a precise laser to project any 2D/3D digital plan onto construction surfaces, whether they are flat or curved. This innovation allows construction workers to view the blueprint, accurately scaled, directly on the work surface. This capability enables them to quickly comprehendthe necessary actions with minimal errors.Additionally, the BeamerOne‏‏™ by LightYX facilitates the identification of inconsistencies between the digital plan and the actual construction ("as built") through a mobile app. Workers can effortlessly align the projected plans with the "as built" conditions. Once the adjustments are complete, the worker can save the updated drawing and seek approval from architects or share it with other stakeholders involved in the project.By offering this solution, LightYX ensures that construction workers can accurately implement 2D and 3D plans right from the start, while providing managers with the ability to continually monitor the progress of the layout implementation process.
