Is Your Coordinate Measuring Machine Future-Ready?
Quality control has an important role to play in delivering a more connected, analytical and collaborative way of producing parts and products. Inspection is a crucial function that ensures customers receive the quality they paid for, and it also guarantees a manufacturer’s compliance with industry regulations, specifications and original design intent. In addition, spotting errors quickly through quality control procedures reduces waste and the need for rework, resulting in lower costs and increased throughput. All of these activities can be — and today often are — performed within manufacturing data silos without cross-collaboration.
One of the essential goals of digital transformation is to achieve real-time collaboration and information exchange between systems and people across an organization so operations become more flexible, faster and smarter. Manufacturers seeking these benefits must be able to feed real-time quality data into design, engineering and production systems. This data-driven approach removes functional silos and introduces timely, intelligent improvements to product development and manufacturing based on physical realities and virtual designs.
