The FARO Laser Scanner lets you work easily even in confined spaces and under massive time pressure. For us, it serves as the ideal foundation for providing our clients with reliable and high-quality data, fast.

As our projects became increasingly complex, we realized that we had to improve our workflow to prevent bottlenecking. FARO Laser Tracker was introduced to us by our U.S. counterparts as it worked really well for them, especially on projects where the circular self levelling machines (CSLMs) were required. When we started using the FARO device ourselves, it improved our workflow in so many aspects, surpassing our expectations by leaps and bounds.

We now have the capabilities to provide our customers with reverse engineering services. This is especially useful when we need to create drawings of older vessels.
