Visual Mining Art
Observe, even from a long distance, the infinitesimal breath of a quarry or mine. Feel the extent of the rocky front, find the most valuable materials, and safely develop your quarry.
Visual consultancy / State-of-the-art proprietary VRS technology
A visual strategy to navigate ever-evolving worlds
Enabling you to view and understand the way places and constructions change, helping you decide earlier and act better
A cost-effective option with the first-ever visual digital ecosystem that stands out for its extremely high level of accuracy, definition and adaptability
Quarries, mines, sea beds and structural engineering. High-risk worlds to invest successfully. A relentless challenge to predict the future and meet your plans, while reducing .
Orlando Pandolfi Studio enhances your awareness and your safety
Orlando Pandolfi’s dual IMAGO, the first-ever visual consulting method that helps you easily and accurately observe, understand and navigate the evolution of your working world.
At the heart of the consulting service is a new patented technology based on an integrated ecosystem: a unique working method, a visual platform and a proprietary robotic device. State-of-the-art remote sensing technology.
Dual Imago is the utility patent of Orlando Pandolfi and Nicola Santoro.
Worlds
The built environment
Remotely monitor monuments, infrastructure and civil works with the greatest accuracy. Detect fractures, deformations and alterations in the material before they turn into criticalities.
MARE
Explore the sea bed with utmost clarity and easily understand the condition of underwater infrastructure in one single visual environment.

Orlando Pandolfi dual IMAGO
Our innovative visual, consulting method provides real solutions with a state-of-the-art, accurate and hyper-real dynamic model of your working world. We will guide you through the design, execution and monitoring steps. Plan your future with us and measure your progress with this easy, user-friendly and cost-effective method.
Observe
Your working world with unprecedented accuracy.
IT IS BY OBSERVING the changes — constantly and accurately — that your world starts giving you the answers. We do not want to simplify your world, we want to retain all its complexity: feel its breath, look into it. To do this, we have developed a new light-based technology, the heart of our patent, that gives you unprecedented accuracy, sharpness and realism. This is the technology that led to the dual IMAGO, a dynamic model that shows not only shapes and dimensions but also phenomena such as heat, shifts and deformations, and integrates operational metrics and management systems as well. We will guide you through the building of the model and the observation of its evolution over time.
Understand
Easily understand what no data, on their own, can tell you.
The dual IMAGO is not a 3D model to look at. It is a space to act, measure and analyse in. We will guide you through an innermost exploration of the space. You will have a chance to gather data that are usually disjoined: geometries, shifts, heat, machinery, plants and workflows. Data are no longer isolated numbers. They turn into an exhaustive, intuitive and useful picture. You can query the model, using ever-new tools. You can instantly identify relations and changes. All this is made possible by the OBSERVER, our patented robotic measurement instrument. It is a special machine, the physical embodiment of our method. It is the first-ever real breakthrough that has been made in visual remote sensing for a long time. It translates observation into knowledge.
Navigate
Navigate change and maximise your investment.
Our patented one-of-a-kind method turns the platform into a veritable control room. You can compare scenarios, consider your options, and decide what to do next. Every decision stems from an exhaustive, updated view. Everyone works at the same representation of the real environment. Technicians, managers and executives share data, skills and decisions. Cooperation becomes instant, and every choice clearer. From the model you can go back to reality. You can connect decisions to places, organise work, and run your operations step by step. What you decide instantly turns into action.

A proprietary ecosystem
Made in Carrara · Italy
The method
A proprietary method coordinates data acquisition, recording and comparison, translating physical reality into a verifiable basis for measurements.
The platform
A cutting-edge 4D visual platform integrating space and time makes change and information intelligible. The platform can integrate data that are usually disjoined: geometries, shifts, heat, machinery, plants and workflows. Diagnoses and predictions get easier.
The Observer
This pioneering robotic photogrammetric instrument remotely acquires high-density spatial data for constant, accurate and safe monitoring. Designed and developed by the Orlando Pandolfi Studio’s team, it is manufactured in our lab in Carrara (Italy).
