A Hexagon Case Study
Ford, the automotive manufacturer, faced a challenge with its existing metrology software in its autobody manufacturing facilities. The software was no longer satisfactory, leading to a search for a more flexible and productive alternative. To address this, Ford collaborated with vendor Hexagon to implement its PC-DMIS metrology software.
Hexagon's solution involved retrofitting Ford's systems with PC-DMIS, which provided significant advantages. The new software eliminated interface problems, allowed for easier file sharing with considerably smaller files, and enabled much faster programming. This resulted in greater stability, the ability to handle larger data sets, and improved productivity across Ford's toolmaking and pilot plants, solidifying a successful cooperation between the two companies.
