A workflow generation system comprising a first device with a computing unit, a memory unit and a first communication unit, and a plurality of software agents used with a plurality of electronic apparatuses comprising at least one measuring device, wherein each software agent is installable on an electronic apparatus of the plurality of electronic apparatuses and exchanges data with the electronic apparatus, wherein the first device receives a measuring task and performs a workflow generation process to generate a workflow for performing the task involving one or more of the apparatuses, to generate workflow data allowing a respective apparatus to perform a part of the task, and to provide the workflow data to the software agents of the involved apparatuses, and provide configuration data to the software agents to reconfigure the respective apparatus for providing functions for performing the part of the task by the respective apparatus.

Workflow generation

A method for scanning an area using a ground penetrating radar (GPR) by moving the GPR along at least one scanning trajectory. The method includes determining at least one landmark object image feature by applying object detection techniques to images of the area to be scanned, determining a position and/or type of at least one landmark object corresponding to the at least one landmark object image feature in a scanning-area coordinate frame, determining a candidate position or candidate type of at least one candidate underground asset in the area to be scanned by using the determined position or type of the at least one landmark object determining the at least one scanning trajectory using the candidate position and/or candidate type of the at least one candidate underground asset.

GPR scanning through the use of external scene knowledge

A workflow generation system comprising a first device with a computing unit, a memory unit and a first communication unit, and a plurality of software agents used with electronic apparatuses comprising at least one measuring device, wherein each software agent is on an electronic apparatus or an communication module connected to the electronic apparatuses, wherein each software agent exchanges data with the electronic apparatus the first device receives a measuring task and performs a workflow generation process to receive from agents task-specific data of the apparatuses, the task—specific data information about properties of the respective apparatus, to assess task-specific capabilities associated with each of the apparatuses, generate, based on the task and on the capabilities, an optimized workflow for performing the task including workflow data allowing the respective apparatus to perform the task, and to provide the workflow data to the software agents of the involved apparatuses.

A workflow deployment system comprising at least one computing device having a memory unit and a first communication unit, and a plurality of software agents, wherein each software agent is installable on an electronic apparatus of the plurality of electronic apparatuses, wherein each software agent exchanges data with the electronic apparatus, wherein the memory unit stores workflow data related to a workflow for performing a task, the workflow comprising at least a first workflow package for a first part of the task, wherein the computing device assigns the first workflow package to the first apparatus, and to provide workflow data related to the first workflow package to the software agent of the first apparatus, to receive a problem solution request from the software agent, to perform, upon reception of the request, a workflow modification process; and to provide the customized data to the software agent of the first apparatus.

Workflow deployment

A system for documenting a state of a building, comprising a first measuring system to determine actual data of the building, and at least one server having a memory for storing a digital model of the building, the server providing the digital model to the first measuring system and providing a blockchain of blocks, each block comprising a timestamp, hash data of a previous block and change data related to changes of the model, wherein a current block comprises current change data related to a latest change and task data related to tasks to be performed at the building hat have to be met. The first measuring system is adapted to interpret the task data, perform a measuring task, generate measurement data obtained by performing the measuring task, and to generate a new block of the blockchain, wherein the server is adapted to verify an admissibility of the new block.

Authenticity verification of a digital model

A Distance Measuring (DM)-system comprising a DM-device comprising a measuring beam unit configured for determining a distance between an object and the DM-device by transmitting a measuring beam, and an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) configured for determining an absolute first rotational position of the DM-device with respect to a first axis being parallel to the measuring beam, and an absolute second rotational position of the DM-device with respect to a second axis parallel to the gravity field. The DM-system also includes a computer unit configured for receiving from the DM-device a plurality of measured distance values, an absolute first rotational position of the DM-device at the time of a respective distance measurement, and an absolute second rotational position of the DM-device at the time of a respective distance measurement, and generating a layout by consecutively linking the measured distances based on the plurality of measured distance values.
