Rugby-based Faro Technologies UK Ltd (www.faro.com) has released its CAM2 2018 software platform for its portable co-ordinate measuring machines.

Along with new reporting dashboards, the software offers improved quality control through Repeat Part Management (RPM) smart-tool feature.

RPM enables a specific inspection process to be created once and then repeated and executed by anyone on the factory floor.

Accordingly, this ensures resource-efficient quality control of inspection routines without the need for highly skilled metrology professionals to manage the process.

CAM2 2018 also features integrated Web-based dashboard reporting that delivers real-time inspection results and ‘insightful’ trend analysis in a user-friendly set of adaptable visual reports.

As a result, RPM control centre information can be shared throughout an organisation in real time, allowing immediate corrective action to be taken, as required.
