FARO is pleased to announce the release of the FARO Flatness Check app, the company’s first augmented reality solution for the concrete industry. The app will enable the immediate visualization of floor flatness and floor levelness while ensuring pours are completed on schedule with improved quality of work, and the elimination of 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 scanner, including the new FARO Focus Premium Laser Scanner as well as the Focus M70, S70, S150 and S350.
Using an iPad with a FARO scanner, 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.
What distinguishes Flatness Check most is its intuitive design and superior user interface. This allows maximum usability to capture scan data directly into the app’s analysis algorithms and to generate augmented reality heat maps of a concrete slab. Differentiated colors correspond to specific floor flatness and floor levelness deviations. And all of that detail is readily viewable on a standard iPad. The app is fully compatible with Sphere and can trigger scan processing and registration, analyzing all data collected according to regional standards.
Flatness Check is available for download now in the Apple App Store or through the Sphere portal. Used in conjunction with the Focus 3D laser scanner, documenting and sharing analysis results through Sphere integration has never been easier or more complete.
