Digital gaging, involving the software and hardware used to capture and process digital measurements, has grown dramatically in the past two decades. It has also made quality more efficient and effective.
Gaging software helps quality operators combine and elaborate upon input data, or sensor readings, to produce a final measurement. It simplifies and secures the measurement process, making it less prone to human error. It also helps operators collect data, generate reports, and perform statistical analysis to compare the level of quality (quality indexes) over time.
