Flatness Check Augmented Reality App – FARO Technologies Inc.
LAKE MARY, Fla. — FARO® Technologies Inc., a global provider of 4D digital reality solutions, introduced FARO Flatness Check, the company’s first augmented reality app for the concrete industry. The app is designed to enable the immediate visualization of floor flatness and floor levelness, ensuring pours are completed on schedule and of exceptional quality, which helps to eliminate expensive rework typical in high-rise residential and office construction.
Flatness Check integrates with FARO Sphere, the company’s cloud-based and Software as a Service-enabled ecosystem, and is compatible with several generations of laser scanners, including the new FARO Focus Premium Laser Scanner. Using an iPad, users can document and analyze the floor flatness and floor levelness of any concrete slab and share that data with additional project stakeholders. The app also enables foremen guiding field crews to identify out of tolerance areas within minutes and to fix those deviations while the concrete is still wet. This near real-time ability will ultimately cut costs for contractors and other involved parties as improved quality means less rework. With Flatness Check, schedules are adhered to and other trades can continue their work in a timely and efficient manner.
