Measure by Latham Pools
LATHAM, N.Y., Nov. 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Imagine never having to A-B a pool for a new liner or safety cover ever again. Latham Group, Inc. [NYSE:SWIM] the largest designer, manufacturer, and marketer of in-ground residential swimming pools in North America, Australia, and New Zealand, announces the deployment of a firmware update to Measure by Latham Pools. Already proven effective for capturing safety cover measurements, this game-changing technology is now available for measuring vinyl pool liners with optimal accuracy and efficiency.
“Measure by Latham brings pool liner and cover measuring into the digital age,” said Scott Rajeski, president and CEO of Latham Pools. “Leveraging the power of artificial intelligence, this system is revolutionizing the industry and rapidly making manual measuring obsolete.”
Two Tools, One System
Measure by Latham Pools is the first tool of its kind aimed at modernizing and simplifying the pool liner and cover measurement process. Powered by AI, the system employs an HD camera and LiDAR laser technology to capture images and measurements based on points plotted by the technician. Advanced backend algorithms allow a single technician to measure an entire pool perimeter, along with any unique features, and provide precise specifications for swimming pool covers – and now vinyl liners – in less than 30 minutes.
“This tool not only streamlines the measuring process but also significantly shortens overall lead times,” noted Rajeski. “In fact, turnaround times using Measure are up to 3x faster than traditional methods.”
The Measure by Latham Pool system comes complete with the following components:
-
M1 scanner
-
Transit extendable tripod
-
64GB iPad Air® with protective case
-
AR Tag/Stick assembly
-
65W 20000mAh battery
-
Charging cables
-
Protective case with carrying bag
The proprietary, patent-pending technology can be used to measure pools of any shape and almost any size quickly and accurately. The system is ideal for measuring replacement covers and liners, which unlock new business for Latham and Latham dealers. The intuitive interface is easy to navigate, and the scanner is protected by a water-proofed, heavy-duty aluminum housing, allowing it to be used in all outside conditions.
The Measure by Latham equipment seamlessly integrates with the Measure App, which not only drives the Measure device but also provides access to Latham’s Builder Management Portal. This web-based project management platform allows builders total control of their liner and cover projects – all in one place. Once a Measure project is completed in the field and uploaded to the portal, dealers have virtually instant access to drawings for quoting so ordering can be completed in hours rather than days.
