PR Newswire (US)
LAKE MARY, Fla., Jan. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- FARO Technologies, Inc.
(NASDAQ:FARO), the only company with a complete line of portable
3-D coordinate measurement systems for the Computer-Aided Measuring
(CAM2) market, announced today that it has made Metrologic its
latest Software Diversity Partner (SDP). Metrologic, a global
supplier of image processing software, joins FARO's other SDPs,
including Delcam and Geomagic. "This arrangement opens the door to
Metrologic users who want the accuracy, durability and versatility
of our FaroArm, Laser Line Probe or Laser Tracker," FARO Co-Founder
and CEO Simon Raab said. "Metrologic is the standard software at
Airbus, Renault, Citroen, Peugeot, Volkswagen and other major
companies, so securing these alliances reinforces FARO's position
as the leading portable CMM source for the worldwide measurement
market." Metrologic Group SA President and CEO Philippe Cimadomo
added: "This partnership with FARO is another example of Metrologic
Group's unique ability to develop advanced, yet easy-to-use,
software that meets the growing demand for their portable CMMs.
Both of our companies share a common goal of serving our expanding
customer base, and we look forward to working together through the
SDP program." FARO's software partners benefit from integration and
joint selling through the Company's worldwide sales force, as well
as having access to its development teams in order to improve
interfaces, make the user experience seamless, and achieve a higher
level of coordination with its hardware and software products. FARO
will continue to develop its successful family of CAM2 software
products -- and will also review proposals from other third-party
software companies seeking to join its Software Diversity Program
-- in order to further broaden the measuring and reporting options
for its customers. "We are proud to align ourselves with a company
like Metrologic, which has such a strong software presence in our
target markets," FARO President and COO Jay Freeland said. "As with
our other Software Diversity partners, this helps us achieve two
goals: providing FARO customers with the best possible alternatives
to our own CAM2 Measure X, and becoming the single-source solution
for computer-aided measurement." About FARO With more than 9,100
