LAKE MARY, Fla., Dec. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FARO Technologies, Inc.
(Nasdaq: FARO), the world leader in portable computer-aided measurement and
imaging innovations, announced that it has received an order from a major
multinational technology and services conglomerate for 11 Quantum and Platinum
FaroArm systems.
"In this economic environment, it's critical for companies to find better,
more efficient ways to do business," FARO President and CEO Jay Freeland said.
"That's one of the reasons our entire line of measurement solutions continues
to be in high demand. Using our technology is the proven way for customers to
make their products and processes the best in the world."
The 11 systems will be used by the company throughout several U.S. cities
- including Atlanta, Chicago, Cincinnati and Dallas -- in order to maintain
and verify numerous components during service interruptions. FARO's portable
CMM technology enables users to digitally capture a component's 3-D
measurements and create or compare them to original CAD files for
verification. The Quantum and Platinum FaroArms will reduce completion time on
each job by multiple days, which will save the company millions of dollars
during those critical periods.
"The payback far exceeds the cost," Dave Morse, FARO's SVP and Managing
Director of the Americas said. "The strong ROI combined with the creative
pricing programs we have in place should make it easier for other companies to
adapt this technology and reap the same benefits."
