As manufacturers move toward increasingly connected and automated production environments, the ability to process data close to where it is generated is becoming an important element of the smart factory. Edge computing can reduce the latency associated with sending data to centralized or cloud-based systems, allowing production equipment to respond to changing conditions in near real time.

Manufacturers have never measured more, faster, or with greater precision. Nowadays, metrology is moving beyond the traditional inspection lab. It is more connected to production environments, with the aim to provide faster feedback, support process control, and smarter decisions. However, a difficult question remains: if we measure faster, why do quality problems still move slowly?

Reverse engineering has evolved from a largely manual process used to reproduce legacy components into a sophisticated digital workflow supporting product development, quality assurance, manufacturing and lifecycle management. Advances in 3D scanning, portable metrology, computational modelling and additive manufacturing are enabling manufacturers to capture, analyse and recreate physical products with levels of speed and accuracy that were previously difficult to achieve.
