COADE to Resell Leica CloudWorx for Accurate Piping “As-Builts” from Laser Scanning

HOUSTON—(BUSINESS WIRE)—February 22, 2009— COADE, Inc. and Lieca Geosystems announced today at the daratechPLANT2009 conference an agreement under which COADE will resell Leica Geosystems’ popular CloudWorx Basic software. CloudWorx, in conjunction with COADE CADWorx fieldPipe for CloudWorx, allows users to work efficiently and directly with rich, as-built laser scan data to produce intelligent plant models. COADE is demonstrating these tools at this year’s daratechPLANT 2009 conference in Houston, Texas, USA.

By offering both CloudWorx and CADWorx fieldPipe for CloudWorx, COADE not only expands COADE’s offerings of “as-built” software solutions, but also gives users single-point access to the tools they need to produce intelligent, full-featured as-builts from their valuable scanned data. Whereas in the past users had to use multi-step processes to produce such intelligence, this new tool does it seamlessly, in one step, enabling users to produce intelligent models from which can be produced isometrics, bills of material and bi-directional links to analysis packages.

“Adding CloudWorx to our product offerings makes it easier for our customers to take advantage of the rapid growth of laser scanning in the plant industry,” stated COADE’s Vornel Walker, marketing manager of COADE. “There is an enormous amount of rich, accurate as-built scanning data that currently exists in our industry, and COADE is excited to offer users the ability to take full advantage of this information. By partnering with Leica Geosystems, we are partnering with the leader in the laser scanning industry.”

“By teaming with COADE to resell Leica CloudWorx, Leica Geosystems is broadening our channel to better reach the plant market with laser scanning solutions,” added Chris Thewalt, director of scanning software business, Leica Geosystems. “COADE has a deep reach into the plant community that fits well with the deepening penetration of laser scanning into this important segment.”
