Seamless Integration of FARO FocusS Series Scanner
3D Point Clouds
LAKE MARY, Fla., July 25, 2017 /CNW/ -- FARO® (NASDAQ:
FARO), the world's most trusted source for 3D measurement and
imaging solutions for factory metrology, construction BIM/CIM,
product design, public safety-forensics, and 3D solutions,
announces the availability of the FARO® SCENE 7.0
software platform (www.faro.com/scene). SCENE 7.0 includes the high
quality, high value functionality offered by its predecessor, SCENE
6.2, such as automatic object recognition, scan registration and
position, and takes it a step further with integrated real time,
on-site registration (www.faro.com/scene –
Real time on-site registration simulation), for FARO
FocusS Series Scanner 3D point clouds.
The unique value of SCENE 7.0 can be realized by diverse
industries, including architecture, engineering, construction and
public safety or any industry where there is a premium placed on
capturing/scanning, analyzing and enhancing 3D data.
The Unique Power of Real Time, On-site Registration
Previously, the process of taking an actual scan in the field,
transferring that scan to a computer workstation/PC to start using
the data was a three-step process. The project 3D scan data was
stored on physical SD cards at the project site. Then the user
would bring the SD card to the office and physically insert the SD
card into a workstation/PC for download. Finally, the scans,
once all loaded from the SD cards, would be registered (i.e.,
logically integrated into a cohesive set of data points on the
computer workstation/PC in the office and then the data would
finally be ready for use).
SCENE 7.0 supports a seamless, more efficient process. Real
time, on-site registration enables the 3D scan data, whether it
be from a single scan or multiple scans in process simultaneously,
to be wirelessly transmitted (i.e., no SD cards needed) directly to
an onsite computer workstation/PC in real time. Additionally, the
scans are automatically aligned on the workstation/PC computer in
real time, in the field. This enables a new set of powerful
user benefits unrivaled in the industry:
- Improved Productivity: In-office data processing has
been dramatically reduced and, in some cases, eliminated
altogether. Users come back to the office with a registered product
and can get to work immediately. Additionally, the larger the
project or the more scans required, the greater the realized
efficiencies, in terms of project cycle time and human resources on
site.
- Enhanced Confidence: FARO FocusS
Series Scanner users are now able to preview scans/projects while
still in the field, confirm that all of their project requirements
have been accounted for while still in the field and make any
necessary adjustments in the field in real time.
"SCENE 7.0 is unquestionably the most advanced software platform
of its kind. It significantly elevates the productivity of the FARO
FocusS Series Laser Scanner user well beyond what is
available for any hardware and software solution package for cost
efficient 3D data capture, processing and analysis," states
Joseph Arezone, Chief Commercial
Officer. "Real time, on-site registration is a major milestone but
just one of the efficiency enhancing features, including "smart"
filtering that removes valuable hours from point cloud clean up and
drives significant reductions in post processing time."
SCENE 7.0 is now available for ordering.
