Metrology as a service
Anderson explains. “It leads to delays, confusion, and costly rework. We work alongside them to fine-tune and clarify those requirements, making sure they’re not just ticking boxes but actually aligning with industry standards.” In practice, that means creating dimensional metrology systems that are integrated into the customer’s workflow. It’s metrology done with purpose and precision. From data deluge to clarity Production inspection is another space where AddQual makes a big difference. Today’s manufacturers are swamped with data, but not all of it is useful. In fact, too much of it can be paralysing. “Companies are drowning in spreadsheets and reports, yet starved of insight,” says Anderson. “We help them break out of that doom loop by combining metrology expertise with clever fixturing, automation and data management software.” The result? Processes that are less reliant on gut instinct and more informed by structured, traceable data. Engineers can stop second-guessing and start improving, with speed and certainty. Investigating the issues, properly And then there’s the dreaded ‘what went wrong?’ moment. When inconsistencies crop up or components fail, manufacturers need reliable answers fast. “Paper-based systems and manual decision- making just don’t cut it anymore,” Anderson says. “Too many critical decisions still hinge on subjective judgement. That’s risky.” AddQual’s CI Investigation services are built around structured metrology data, collected using advanced 3D structured light techniques, CMMs, callipers, micrometres and other inspection tools. Combined with NADCAP- accredited processes, this data is trustworthy
enough to support real root cause analysis and lasting improvement. Breaking down the silos Another big headache in manufacturing is data fragmentation. Different systems store different data in different formats. It slows everything down, introduces human error and makes integration a nightmare. AddQual tackles that problem head-on. Their platform transforms raw measurement data into structured, traceable insights. That means faster decision-making and less time spent trying to make sense of conflicting reports. “Our whole aim,” Anderson sums up, “is to automate quality control decision-making. We want to remove variability, improve responsiveness, and let manufacturers focus on making great products, not just measuring them.” Metrology, with a mission By placing structured metrology and autonomous inspection at the centre of its
strategy, AddQual has carved out a unique role in the manufacturing world. It’s not just about better measurements. It’s about better outcomes. For businesses facing the pressure of compliance, consistency and cost, AddQual
offers more than just a service. It offers peace of mind. Because in an
industry where there’s no room for guesswork,
precision isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity. n www.addqual.com
