The world of metrology is changing. The rest of the manufacturing world is waking up to the incredible power of product quality data. Metrology and metrologists are now at the coal face of innovation.
At Hexagon, we recognise that metrology is the only part of the entire manufacturing process where real-world data is generated. This makes the insight from the quality room nothing short of critical to processes that span the entire value chain. Metrology hardware and software generates the data your business needs to drive innovation across the entire value chain and ultimately succeed.
The function of the quality department shouldn’t be to find fault. By analysing quality data to its full potential, the quality team can embed vital insight ensuring design, manufacturability, production, quality, productivity and performance can all be optimised. Our metrology technologies put that kind of power and insight at your fingertips. They are the key bridge between the physical and virtual worlds, bringing real-world data into the digital domain to power smarter manufacturing approaches.
More than offering powerful metrology hardware and software solutions, we are uniquely positioned to help metrology and quality experts thrive in this important new territory. Our technology is helping manufacturers pioneer new manufacturing digitalisation strategies that use quality data more effectively – breaking down data silos, transforming design and engineering processes and providing feedback to production. Our measurement-assisted production technology is best-in-class, and we continue to innovate towards more real-time feedback and machine learning applications that leverage digital transformation to make manufacturing smarter.
Looking to let your data out of the lab and unleash it’s potential across the value chain? Hexagon manufacturing sector’s partner for quality.
