Real-time metrology data enables manufacturers to improve quality and speed production
Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence’s Stationary Metrology Division has launched PC-DMIS Fusion, providing PC-DMIS users with real-time information, visualisation, insights, and SPC analysis to increase productivity through data-driven decision-making
Greg Holdsworth, senior portfolio manager at Hexagon, said, “Modern manufacturers need to know if they’re making good parts. PC-DMIS Fusion modernises analytics and reporting with a simple, intuitive interface, interactive reporting, and fast access to historical data. Seamlessly integrated with PC-DMIS, it delivers real-time measurement information, visualisation, and SPC analysis, all to increase productivity and support data-driven decisions.”
Integrated with PC-DMIS metrology software, Fusion presents measurement data captured from a variety of devices, enabling manufacturers to unify shop floor data and drive fully automated quality workflows.
PC-DMIS Fusion streamlines data collection, reporting, and analysis, helping teams to move from reactive to predictive quality management. Users can automate repetitive tasks, receive immediate alarms when deviations occur, and monitor part quality continuously, without additional complexity.
PC-DMIS Fusion can pair with Maestro, Hexagon’s all-digital, fully connected CMM, and digitally native IIoT device, to create a fully automated metrology ecosystem. Maestro can stream precise measurement data in real time, while Fusion interprets trends, automates SPEC and reporting.
Maestro and Fusion can support virtual metrology and model-based manufacturing by measuring digitally, linking results to 3D models, and identifying issues as they occur.
Key benefits of PC-DMIS Fusion include:
- Increased productivity via data-driven decision-making.
- Information, statistical analysis, and insights are received as they happen, enabling real-time metrology.
- Users can view and interact with dimensional data in a modern, simple reporting format. Use data-driven insights to focus on what matters most.
- Inspection data can be turned into actionable insights for quality assurance and process improvement, with alarms to monitor parts or processes.
- Save time by moving from reactive to predictive quality operations.
