Prodim Proliner: Mobile digital measuring device for stonemasons

Stonemasons are busy measuring and cutting their material every day. But the challenge is to work as precisely as possible while remaining efficient. With a digital measuring device such as the Prodim Proliner, which focuses specifically on the natural stone industry, the balance is achieved.

Prodim is an international company with offices in the USA and the Netherlands. It specializes in improving business processes and offering complete solutions for stonemasons. With the Prodim Proliner, the company shows what this looks like: The mobile digital measuring device between tracker and coordinate measuring machine works precisely. Its measurements serve as CAD drawings for production, control and design. They can be used in various industries and offer the best results for natural stone companies, for example. The company also offers three new digital template packages that make work in the natural stone industry even easier.

The Proliner is the most reliable, efficient, accurate and flexible digital measurement solution for the natural stone industry. Stonemasons can quickly and easily perform, display and adjust their measurements on site. Measurements can even be exported as finished production files for CNC machines. In addition, Prodim offers practical accessories such as apps and the Prodim Factory software to facilitate the daily business processes of natural stone producers, from administration to digitization. This makes it possible to connect the work area, office and production with just one platform.

Thanks to its tailor-made software solutions and excellent digital template packages for stonemasons and fabricators, Prodim is one of the leading experts in complete digital measurement solutions. The company offers customized solutions for every industry. In addition to the Prodim Proliner measuring device with matching app and software, this also includes Prodim desktop software for digitizing production processes and special tools such as the Prodim Plotter and ProCutter.

The Proliner technology has been successful since day one and has spread widely throughout the industry. With over 20 years of experience, Prodim offers digital templating tools and software solutions to improve business growth. With the Prodim Proliner measuring device, measurements can be taken quickly and accurately on site or in the factory. Physical molds are no longer required as the application-based stone industry software simplifies digital templating. This can be integrated directly into business processes and allows flexibility and precision.

The portable digital measuring device uses patented technology. Using a wire and a flexible measuring head, users mark important points, which the device converts directly into a digital CAD file in DXF format. Straight and curved as well as very complex shapes can be measured accurately from any position. The meter-long cable with a metal measuring pin helps to mark relevant points. The Prodim Proliner is the fastest and most accurate long-life template solution on the market. It offers reliable results and fast data transfer via digital app and Stone CT software.

There are also extra features to check, edit and finalize measurements on site. These include the immediate tangential generation of flowing lines for fast processing by a CNC. In addition, stonemasons can add cut-outs, production profiles and materials from a library, place cutting lines and add processing instructions. It is also possible to export drawings and reports for the customer and for production.

Three new packages will make work in the natural stone industry even easier in future:

• The Stone Templator package from Prodim is designed for kitchen worktops and back walls. Stonemasons can mark out digital measurements on site and process the digital files in the office or factory. The digital measurements are ready in no time and become a digital template that can be refined on the Prodim Proliner or on the PC using Prodim’s factory software.
• With the Stone Interior package, Prodim offers a solution for the digital design of kitchens, bathrooms and swimming pools. It is used to create digital CNC files on site and then process them in the office or factory. The package is particularly suitable for complex digital measurements.
• The Stone Interior Advanced package is designed for the digital measurement and processing of demanding projects such as stairs and 3D objects. Users can use this Prodim Proliner package to model on multiple planes, fix overlaps and eliminate all uncertainties before installation. Both 2D and 3D as well as multi-plane measurements are possible. And in combination with the Factory Fabricator, stonemasons can customize and nest their designs on digital natural stone labs from their own library to create the most beautiful vein and bookmatch projects.

Stonemasonry businesses face challenges such as expensive materials and a shortage of skilled workers. This makes it all the more important to automate and digitize processes, which saves a lot of time and effort and enables precise results with high productivity. Solutions such as the Prodim Proliner increase efficiency by eliminating manual measuring processes. At the same time, precise results are produced, which can then be implemented by qualified personnel. Thanks to this automation, it is possible to process more orders without hiring additional staff.

For demanding work such as the production of individual kitchen worktops and other products for the construction and gravestone sectors, automated solutions help to reduce the error rate. Thanks to precise measurement with Prodim Proliner, natural stone companies can increase their product quality and at the same time respond flexibly to customer requirements.

This agility, made possible by modern surveying software for natural stone, increases the competitiveness of natural stone companies. After all, only companies that can respond to demand and individual customer requirements can successfully adapt to the market and win over their customers.

Whether for kitchens, bathrooms, stairs or swimming pools, Prodim’s Proliner offers user-friendliness and the best results for natural and ceramic stone projects. More information here: https://www.prodim-systems.de/prodim/
