Reality Capture as a Tool for Digital Integration of the Planned Furniture Industry Measuring Process

In Brazil, the planned furniture industry, characterized by the production of unique and customized lots, has been undergoing important transformations in its processes, focusing in recent decades on replacing the electromechanical base by microelectronics. Thus, computer-aided drawings, already present in this industry, provide information such as shape, dimensions, tolerances, materials and other details required for manufacturing, integrate the activities of product development sectors with other tools such as computer-assisted engineering. (CAE), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), among others. However, the future scenario of industries has been driven by a new revolution, Industry 4.0, which brings a new concept to design, plan and manufacture a new product. The present work proposes a low cost automated method for scanning and measuring 3D environments using the concept of digital photogrammetry, also known as “reality capture”, through smartphones, integrating the customer with the point of sale activities in the sector, contributing to end-to-end digitization, one of the fundamental concepts of industry 4.0. For this, experiments were carried out to test the applicability of the method in several dormitory configurations present in apartments with useful areas of 50 to 149m
