| Q: | What is it? |
| A: | It is a Cyberware 3D Whole Body WBX Scanning System that extracts uniform sizing measurements quickly, consistently and accurately for the rapid delivery of Marine uniforms. |
| Q: | How does it work? |
| A: | The scanner captures a very accurate 3D map of the scan subject. Software quickly analyzes this 3D map, calculating the necessary body measurements to select correct uniform items. |
| Q: | How many people can be scanned per hour? |
| A: | The average is 81 but the scanner is capable of up to 110 per hour. |
| Q: | How big is it? |
| A: | The scanner which is fully enclosed has compact dimensions of 261 cm × 235 cm × 288 cm (8.6' × 7.7' × 9.43'). |
| Q: | How reliable is it? |
| A: | One of our customers has scanned more than 30,000 subjects in two years. Another customer has performed over 60,000 scans since the scanner was installed at their site. |
| Q: | How does it save money? |
| A: | Better control of inventory: less inventory means less money tied up in unnecessary items. More consistent and accurate than hand measurements: quality fit achieved, time saved, and simplified issue process. Database reference resource: new uniform items can be designed to fit current population with less waste manufacturing the wrong sizes. |
| Q: | How much training is required to operate the scanner? |
| A: | A simplified operator interface allows non-technical personnel to operate the system with minimum training time. |
| Q: | Is there any danger to your eyes? |
| A: | No, the technology involved is similar to a supermarket bar code reader. |
| Q: | What else can it be used for? |
| A: | Population studies, statistical surveys, link to inventory control, longitudinal studies and virtual reality simulations. |
| Q: | What is a longitudinal study? |
| A: | A study involving the repeated observation or examination of a set of subjects over time. With a better understanding of how bodies change as they undergo training or age, manufacturers will be able to design better uniform items and protective gear. |
