Software

This category includes any free-standing or integrated software systems used for measurement or inspection in the manufacturing process. Software is typically used to automate mechanical processes, analyze and rate the quality of cutting tools, integrate with probes and product inspection equipment to translate data into centralized system, program CMMs, laser scanners, and laser printers, generate inspection schedules and reports, support mobile and/or offline inspections, and a variety of other applications. Many software platforms are customized to specific tasks, or to the needs of their users.
