Safety is not child's play

Safety on children's playgrounds is a critical issue. Every year, thousands of injuries are recorded worldwide. In the United States, approximately 200,000 children end up in the emergency room due to playground accidents, while in Europe and Australia, the estimates range from 30,000 to 70,000. Faced with these alarming statistics, the Viametris MS-96 mobile scanner presents itself as an innovative solution to prevent accidents and optimize the management of these spaces.

A cutting-edge tool for safety

Thanks to its high-precision 3D mapping technology, the MS-96 is capable of scanning every detail of a playground. It quickly detects anomalies such as uneven surfaces or damaged equipment. By identifying these potential risks before an accident occurs, managers can take preventive measures while ensuring compliance with current safety standards.

Simplified design and redevelopment

For redevelopment projects or the installation of new structures, the 3D scans provided by the MS-96 offer a precise database. Through this modeling, designers can optimize the space according to children’s needs and the constraints of the terrain. All this without causing long-term public access interruptions.

Enhanced accessibility and inclusivity

The MS-96 also makes it possible to assess the accessibility of playgrounds for children with disabilities. By scanning ramps, walkways, and infrastructures, it verifies their compliance with accessibility requirements, ensuring that every child, regardless of their physical abilities, can enjoy these spaces.

Proactive and efficient maintenance

The 3D modeling also facilitates maintenance planning. By regularly scanning playgrounds, managers can monitor the wear and tear of structures, anticipate repairs, and ensure the ongoing safety of the playgrounds. This not only reduces the risk of accidents but also minimizes disruptions caused by maintenance work.

Documentation for transparency and legal safety

Finally, the MS-96 allows the creation of a visual and technical archive of the playground’s condition at any given time. These scans are valuable for legal procedures or insurance claims in the event of accidents. They provide proof of the installations’ compliance during inspections, strengthening the legal safety for managers.
