FARO Technologies<\/a> has acquired Swedish-based Advanced Technical Solutions<\/a> (ATS), which specialises in 3D digital twin solution technology<\/h2>\n

The acquisition will integrate ATS software and proprietary Traceable 3D system, which enables highly accurate and repeatable 3D scans, into the FARO Webshare Cloud platform<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ATS\u2019 system connects the physical to the digital world and is expected to bolster FARO\u2019s ability to improve customers\u2019 time to decide with 10x faster 3D imaging at up to 1mm accuracy.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1990, ATS has had particular success in the automotive space where the firm has agreements in place with several well-known global automotive manufacturers.<\/p>\n

Accelerate the adoption of digital twins<\/h3>\n

Michael Burger, FARO president & CEO, said: \u201cWe believe this acquisition enables FARO with differentiated accuracy and speed, which we believe will accelerate the adoption of digital twin<\/a> technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cHigh accuracy 3D digital twin simulations allow capital intensive industries such as automotive and aerospace to meaningfully reduce their time to market and cost.<\/p>\n

\u201cI welcome the ATS team into FARO and believe they will help accelerate our strategic objective of increasing cloud-based subscription offerings in this sizable market.\u201d<\/p>\n

G\u00f6ran L. Bergqvist, ATS CEO, added: \u201cThe ATS team is thrilled to join a 40-year global leader like FARO. FARO\u2019s technology and market presence provides the spring-board to the market adoption of Traceable 3D<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bergqvist, who co-founded ATS, will continue to lead the ATS operation.<\/p>\n

The ATS Swedish facility will also act as a Nordic sales and service centre for FARO.<\/p>\n
