The kit

A scanning lab, the size of a cart.

Everything a digitization site needs travels in one case: capture, computing, power and connectivity. Scroll to take it apart.

The AerariumChain scanning kit

The cart separates into its three modules. The top one opens on the field computer, already running the acquisition workflows.

The battery bay opens below; drawers slide out on the 101-megapixel camera and the structured-light scanners.

Everything folds back into one compact cart: five minutes from the parked car to the first scan.

It turns on the spot and rolls through a crowded gallery like any museum cart.

On the kit's PC

The operator thinks about the artwork. The software does the rest.

Preinstalled on the kit's computer, the AerariumChain field app guides every acquisition through predefined workflows: 3D scans and photographs are collected artwork by artwork, packaged in order, and uploaded to the cloud in real time or later, automatically.

Field app dashboard with quick actions: new 3D scan, upload, history
Acquisition wizard, object information step with the five-phase workflow
Pro capture screen with exposure, histogram, studio lights and color checker
Sync and upload: external drive and database comparison, offline mode

Predefined workflows

Every artwork goes through the same guided steps: nothing gets forgotten, nothing gets misnamed, whoever the operator is.

Organized packages

Scans and photographs land already structured per artwork, ready for the cloud pipeline and for delivery.

Upload that manages itself

In real time over 5G, or deferred when the museum's network allows: the queue handles ordering and retries on its own.

Safe until it ships

The day's work lives in a local database on the kit and leaves only when the upload is confirmed.

Gentle by design

Non-contact capture, museum-grade lighting, and a cart that moves through a gallery without touching a thing.

One operator

The kit is built for a single trained operator: no scaffolding, no crew, no closed rooms for weeks.

Certified at the source

Every capture is notarized on public blockchain the moment it happens: the twin is born certified.

On the field

Two kits. Twenty-four museums. Less than two months.

That is the pace this cart already keeps, proven on more than 10,000 scans and in the hardest field conditions.

Time and cost decide a digitization project when the collection holds thousands of works. Scanning them without ever moving them decides even more.

Training

We can scan for you. We would rather teach you to.

AerariumChain runs digitization campaigns end to end. But we believe in the growth of the professional community of specialists: conservators, registrars and photographers who master these tools themselves.

That is why the kit, the field app and the training that comes with them are built to bring technology and skills directly into museums: your people, your collection, your capability.
