A partnership between Arc Second Inc. and Romer CimCore could signal the acceptance of indoor GPS as the measurement technology of the future.

Several major metrology companies, including Romer CimCore, Metrologic Inc. and New River Kinematics, showcased Arc Second’s GPS technology at the 2004 Coordinate Metrology Systems Conference, held in San Jose, California, in August.

By providing a factorywide coordinate frame, Arc Second enables providers of robotic systems, measurement instruments, material handling equipment and other devices the freedom to move about the factory. With indoor GPS, awkward and unwieldy approaches to leapfrogging are becoming a thing of the past.
