3D Laser-Based Measuring and Drawing with InnoDraw

Novedge : What is InnoDraw?.

Daniel Strauss:   InnoDraw is the developer of the world’s leading software for 3D laser-based  measuring and drawing for the Construction, Architecture, Interior design, Home Improvement, Flooring  and Real-Estate Industries.

Novedge:  Can you tell us a little bit about InnoDraw's history?

Daniel Strauss: We started our activity with our previous company, MeasureComp, based on our CEO’s patent for optimization of flooring layout. We sold the company to Home Depot for $45m. Sometime later, we started developing InnoDraw – a measuring and automatic drawing solution for the construction and architecture industries. InnoDraw has now become a global leader of cloud & Laser-Based Digital Laser-Based Digital Measuring and Automatic Drawing solutions, with more than 300,000 successful measuring assignments already done in 5 countries.

Novedge: Tell us a little bit about how InnoDraw works.

Daniel Strauss:   InnoDraw uses a laser device which communicates wirelessly with the software. The measuring technician is shooting the laser beam into randomly selected 2 points on each wall and, 2 corner point on each window or door and one beam to each accessory, e.g. electrical socket, water point, air conditions, etc.  During the measurement, InnoDraw creates the drawing automatically, following the technician’s progress. When the technician completed his job, the complete, detailed, accurate, 2D and 3D drawings is ready - right at the job site ! The program also helps the technician to verify his accuracy and correct any mistake, so he will send a 100% accurate drawing. The technician can send the drawing through the InnoDraw server, directly to the designer, engineer or project manager. The InnoDraw cloud-based server also translates the drawing, automatically, to the designer’s CAD format ! This take just a split of a second. The designer can start his design work immediately after the measuring job was completed at the job site! He does not need to spend extra time in drawing. He has received his/her drawing ready for design from the InnoDraw cloud-based server. InnoDraw eliminates the extra drawing work at the office as well as eliminates human errors. It increases efficiency and enables great savings.

Novedge: Can you list some of InnoDraw's best features?

Daniel Strauss:   Here just some of our customers' favorite features:

• Measuring with InnoDraw is very simple: Just hitting with the laser ANY 2 point s on the walls.
• The program verify the drawing accuracy and help the technician to correct any mistake or inaccuracy.
• InnoDraw completes the whole drawing automatically – in the job site, eliminating extra work and errors in the office.
  
• InnoDraw translates the drawings – automatically - to the customer’s CAD format !
  
• InnoDraw is compatible with the world’s top CAD programs, including 2020, ProKitchen, CabinetVision, AutoCAD and more!  We are a 2020  partner!

Novedge: Are these the features that set Innodraw apart from other measuring solutions?
