Company to offer latest range of FARO Laser Scanners across its construction distribution networks to serve the needs of surveyors, contractors, engineers and geospatial professionals

Omnix International, the MENA region's leading provider of computer aided engineering solutions, has been named as official distributor for FARO, the world's most trusted source for 3D measurement, imaging and realization technology, for the territory of UAE, Kuwait, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Omnix International will offer FARO's latest line of laser scanners through its vast construction distribution networks in the region, thereby serving the needs and requirements of surveyors, contractors, engineers and geospatial professionals.

Under the terms of the agreement, the company will be selling and providing support for the FARO Laser Scanner X Series as well as its accompanying software SCENE. The smallest and lightest laser scanners on the market - Focus3D X Series are ideal tools for indoor and outdoor applications. The fast and accurate laser scanners Focus3D offer everything you might expect from professional 3D laser scanners - with FARO's established and well-known level of simplicity. Focus3D X 330 offers extra long range - 330m, Focus3D X 130 is a mid-range device offering precise scanning up to 130m. It is ideal for applications such as architecture, BIM, civil engineering, facility management, industrial manufacturing, forensics, and accident reconstruction. Omnix International will also be providing the necessary services and trainings to its clients using FARO technology.

"We are very pleased to partner with Omnix International to further expand the 3D laser scanner platform across a broader range of Middle East markets. We chose Omnix because they serve already a large customer base, which overlaps with our target customers, with several products based on CAD and digitation. Next to that Omnix is an Autodesk partner, which fits in seamlessly with FARO' strategic partnership with Autodesk worldwide," said Chris Holligan, Vice President of Sales at FARO.

The FARO Laser Scanner X series enables fast, straightforward and accurate measurements of objects and buildings. It is able to record architectural façades, complex structures, production and supply facilities, accident sites, and large-volume components. Combining the highest-precision scanning technology with true mobility and ease-of-use, the series offers reliability, flexibility, and real-time views of recorded data. The accompanying SCENE software supports the Focus3D X Series and is able to processes and manages scanned data easily and efficiently by using automatic object recognition as well as scan registration and positioning.

"The Middle East region is currently demonstrating a large demand for quick, accurate and easy to use laser scanning solutions. Our new partnership with FARO seeks to address this challenge as they have come up with a product that is versatile, compact and very user-friendly for the 3D scanning market. We are very excited to offer FARO's X Series as part of our diverse portfolio through our strong Middle East distribution network. We look forward to building a long-term business relationship together," concluded Dr. Jayant Deshpande, Director - CAD Division, Omnix International.
