Together with software partners, FARO experts will offer customers and fair visitors demonstrations and information for software tools such as FARO Scout, for displaying 3D measurements and navigation, and Point Tools, for the animation of 3D images and CAD models. Audiences also interested in technology that provides a simplified way to access and navigate an immense amount of enterprise asset data, such as for the measurement of three-dimensional structure of plants, can inform themselves about the plant capture solution Reality Linx. The solution is based on INOVx Solutions’ advanced virtualisation technology.
