Vancouver, BC (April 19, 2022) – Cansel and AllTerra Central, two leading Trimble Geospatial dealers globally, have announced the purchase of Allen Instruments & Supplies from Empire Technology Holdings, headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Released on April 12, 2022, the FARO Focus Premium Laser Scanner is a key part of an unprecedented, ultra-efficient data capture and collaboration platform. Utilizing cutting-edge technology, the platform provides the industry's most efficient cloud-based workflow combining three innovative new solutions: the FARO Sphere™ digital ecosystem for the most effective exchange of data possible; the FARO Focus Premium Laser Scanner for fast, accurate and complete field capture; and the FARO Stream mobile app for real-time data verification.

The next generation Focus Premium is the fastest, most accurate, and best data-sharing-enabled scanner on the market today, featuring entirely new components with a proven design. The new Stream app, which is available for Android and iOS devices, used with the Focus Premium enables on-site scan data validation (preregistration) and can be immediately synched to Sphere for registration and collaboration.

Sphere centralizes the collection and management of all 3D data projects and can be accessed by global stakeholders through the secure, single point sign-on. Sphere also provides a one-stop user experience across FARO's leading software applications and customer support tools, including HoloBuilder, a global construction progress management solution that delivers hardware agnostic image capture, registration, and viewing targeted to the fast-growing Digital Twin space. Additional workflows that enable customers to realize even greater value will be offered in future Sphere updates.
