Hexagon's New PC-DMIS FUSION Software Modernizes Metrology Reporting and Analytics

Traditionally, quality control has been a reactive bottleneck, with coordinate measuring machine (CMM) data languishing in static inspection sheets while scrap parts accumulate on the factory floor. Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence addresses this inefficiency with PC-DMIS FUSION, an analytics and reporting platform designed to transition metalworking facilities into predictive, data-driven environments.

The technology acts as an intelligent overlay to industry-standard PC-DMIS metrology software, unifying measurement data captured from diverse shop floor devices. Rather than forcing quality managers to manually decipher complex coordinate tables, the platform visualizes dimensional data in an interactive, simplified interface.

By combining real-time information streaming with automated Statistical Process Control (SPC) analysis, the system identifies micro-trends and structural drift as they happen. If a machining center begins to stray near the outer boundary of an allowable tolerance, immediate automated alarms alert operators, preventing the production of out-of-spec components.

The operational utility scales significantly when the platform is paired with MAESTRO, Hexagon's digitally native, industrial internet of things (IIoT) enabled CMM. This combination links physical measurement results directly to 3D CAD models to facilitate virtual metrology and model-based manufacturing.

For modern operations, this IIoT connectivity eliminates repetitive documentation tasks, reduces operator data entry errors, and provides instant access to historical trends. By transforming isolated inspection data into immediate, actionable insights, the ecosystem allows production managers to optimize tool offsets dynamically, schedule predictive machine maintenance, and safely accelerate manufacturing cycle times without sacrificing micron-level component quality.
