Sandvik Launches New Metrology Business Unit With Metrologic Group – DCS Merger
The Sandvik Group has announced that Metrologic Group, leading provider of measurement software and analysis, and Dimensional Control Systems (DCS), supplier of tolerance analysis software to industry, have merged to form a new Business Unit.
New Business Unit: Metrologic Group – DCS
The synergies between DCS (Dimensional Control Systems) and Metrologic Group are particularly strong in the fields of dimensional control, variation analysis and quality management in the manufacturing industry. A real technological complementarity for Industry 4.0.
Together, the two entities offer a complete solution integrating simulation, measurement, traceability and manufacturing process optimization within a connected factory workflow, which is a strong asset for well-established as well as emerging industrial sectors such as aeronautics, automotive and rail.
The aim of this Business Unit will be to position the company as a key player in the metrology market, capable of offering innovative solutions to meet the needs of industrial players in the fields of quality control, 3D inspection and process improvement.
New President of Metrologic Group – DCS
It has also been announced that Benoit Perrin has been appointed President of the new combined entity. Prior to joining Metrologic Group – DCS, Benoit was Managing Director of EasyMile, a French company pioneering the development of autonomous driving technologies for private and industrial sites. Prior to this, Benoit Perrin held a number of management positions in major technology companies (such as Alstom), bringing in-depth expertise in software product development, technological innovation and business development. His track record bears witness to his ability to transform technological innovations into concrete solutions that meet market needs.
His experience in launching new innovation programs and in international business will be a crucial asset in driving the performance and growth of the newly merged entities of DCS and Metrologic Group.
