Client Success Story
Mary Anne Reuschling, President and CEO of TransCon Imaging Solutions first came to the SBDC in November 2010. Reuschling’s TransCon CSI firm is an accident investigation company and had just become the first such firm on the East Coast to purchase a new $120K piece of specialized equipment. The scanner performs a 360-degree scan of a site (spinning mirrors map every data point at a site). Such work was previously done by hand, which was far more expensive, labor-intensive and prone to errors.
The new technology has numerous applications due to the fact that it maps more than collision scenes, such as a building, a crime scene, etc. For example, the new 3-D Taser scanner enables staff to shoot a scene and then after a controlled explosion do the debris mapping to reconstruct what happened during an explosion. It can also help construction managers who bill by volume when clearing a site. By mapping the topography before and after clearing, the actual volume can be calculated.
