The future of industrial metrology will depend not only on improvements in measurement accuracy, but also on establishing confidence in results generated by increasingly interconnected measurement systems.

Manufacturers do not need a dashboard full of unexplained anomalies. They need connected intelligence that helps them make better decisions before, during, and after the build. AdditiveOS is central to that because it allows every build to become part of a learning workflow, not just another isolated dataset.

Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Corporation are advancing their vision for software-defined factories (SDFs), in which integrated data, artificial intelligence (AI) and standardised software platforms will play an increasingly important role in how manufacturing operations are designed, managed and optimised.

As more production data flows from the CMM straight into process control, the humble fixture is becoming one of the biggest sources of measurement risk, and one of the most overlooked.

Surface inspection remains one of the last major bottlenecks in aviation maintenance. While many inspection processes have become increasingly digital, the evaluation of small defects often still depends on replica workflows, laboratory measurements, and subjective evalutaion.

A solution combining the Ajile DepthScan 3D Imager with PolyWorks inspection software uses robot positioning to capture features from multiple viewing angles, then measures the resulting point cloud against CAD models and engineering drawings.

In “AI Inspection Needs A Disagreement Audit Before Quality Teams Scale It” (Metrology News, 15 September 2026), Gleb Tsipursky argues that quality leaders should “measure disagreements between automated inspection and qualified human judgment before reducing human review”. Our case is small and sits outside the factory, but the principle carried over directly: an automated result is only as trustworthy as the independent reference it has been checked against.

Simulation is crucial for predicting how materials and components will behave under different loading conditions, helping engineers assess designs before committing to physical prototypes. But the value of these predictions depends on how accurately the model represents the material itself.

Metrology has never been faster or more precise. Yet many quality problems that land on a CMM table were decided weeks earlier, when someone measured against a drawing that was no longer the approved one. Closing that gap is not a measurement problem. It is a revision problem.
