The implementation follows a comprehensive technical evaluation and benchmarking exercise, which led the OEM to add this rapid area measurement solution to its quality inspection equipment.<br \/>\nThe end-of-line body in white cell configuration is directly integrated with the production line PLC and IT systems to automate inspections on the OEM\u2019s new model, and the installation has measured tens of thousands of vehicles since launch. 360\u00b0 SIMS initially supported the critical production launch and ramp up stages and is now engaged in quality monitoring during the ongoing production of the model and its variants.<br \/>\n\u201cThe customer selected 360\u00b0 SIMS because of its ability to measure critical points and features as well as full surface areas and edge lines within the cycle time. It provides a live information stream to their quality analysts, supporting production efficiency,\u201d said Giacomo Baril\u00e0, head of Hexagon Metrology\u2019s automated solutions. \u201cThe system is operational 24 hours a day, gathering measurement data and packaging it as actionable information such as full surface deviation colour maps. We\u2019re happy to have been part of this very successful vehicle launch, and we look forward to developing our collaborative relationship further.\u201d<br \/>\n360\u00b0 SIMS joins a large number of Hexagon Metrology solutions, including sheet metal horizontal CMMs, laser trackers and metrology software tools in use at this OEM\u2019s factories and supplier network around Europe and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>100% inline inspection supports latest vehicle launch and ongoing production quality.
