InnovMetric is proud to announce a new PolyWorks® Digital Thread partnership program. In collaboration with software companies that develop and commercialize solutions for engineering, manufacturing, and quality, this new program aims to accelerate the digitalization of manufacturing processes. It achieves this by creating an interconnected network that drives dimensional inspection data interoperability from a single source of truth with effortless digital data flows between software applications.  Manufacturing organizations must ensure that data flows from one software to another as they rely on best-in-class solutions from multiple vendors for the digitalization of their manufacturing processes. While functional, the typical file-based data exchanges used within the dimensional management process between engineering, manufacturing, and quality present major data-flow issues, including having multiple copies of the same dimensional inspection information in multiple locations. The PolyWorks digital thread enables partners to digitally interconnect their software solutions to the PolyWorks universal metrology software platform and centralized data management server. It
