Global supply chains are fracturing. The disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine and Iran have exposed the severe vulnerabilities of relying heavily on distant suppliers in China and the Far East. For manufacturers across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), the era of prioritising rock-bottom costs over supply security is definitively over. Today, the strategic mandate is resilience.

For generations, industrial metrology has been rooted in fixed environments. Coordinate measuring machines occupied climate-controlled labs, laser trackers were deployed by specialists, and precision inspection often required moving parts away from production and into dedicated quality rooms. In modern manufacturing, however, that model is rapidly evolving.
