PR Newswire (US)
LAKE MARY, Fla., June 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FARO
Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:FARO), the world market leader in
portable computer-aided measurement arms and laser tracker sales,
announced that its FaroArm and FARO Gage will be compatible with
Q-DAS SPC Link, the commonly used and well-respected Quality
Control software package required among many automotive
manufacturers and suppliers. "Adding Q-DAS capability gives our
portable CMMs a rare advantage," FARO President and CEO Jay
Freeland said. "Our customers can now interface with one of the
most respected and powerful statistical software packages
available." Q-DAS' main focus is on quality management applications
that support the current international standards, as well as
relevant industry guidelines. It is considered the leader in
statistical analysis using their CAMERA method - Collecting,
Assessing, data Management, Evaluating, Reporting, and Archiving.
"FaroArm and FARO Gage users can seamlessly transfer measurement
data into SPC Link, enabling them to evolve customized solutions,"
said Q-DAS President Tom Stewart. "In addition to generating
time-/event-driven reports, the software has a Real-Time feature
which allows others to monitor processes on- line." The FARO Gage
and Gage-PLUS are used to prove that outgoing and incoming parts
are up to spec, thus reducing scrap, re-work and labor costs. The
FaroArm takes the FARO Gage line's capability to the next level by
creating a 3-D "blueprint" of a part - or of machine components
that make parts - enabling users to perform CAD-to-Part analysis,
or even reverse-engineer custom parts. Although approximately 25
percent of FARO's customers are in the automotive industry, Q-DAS
SPC Link will also be of value to its machinery and general
industrial base. For more on how the Company's technology serves
