When a customer standardises all measuring devices and applications based on a single software platform, the initial cost of doing so is soon recouped through the many advantages provided.

 

Of course, there is always an initial cost involved, which can sometimes seem to be a heavy price to pay at first glance. However, compare that to the cost of having to replace software on a regular basis and constantly re-train engineers in different software platforms, in addition to the fact that users will never become “experts” if they must maintain their knowledge of several different softwares. The flexibility of Metrolog X4 knows no boundaries, so users are investing in not just a solution for today, but in a long-term solution that will be with them for many years to come.

Peterborough and Derby based Measurement Solutions have been the UK sales and support partner for Metrologic Group since 1998. The advantage to be gained by using Metrolog X4 is best summed up by Andrew Tagg, Managing Director: “For many years, we have seen companies, technologies and concepts burst onto the scene only to disappear just as quickly. Throughout that time, Metrologic Group have been at the forefront of metrology software, and today their software is still used every day by the world’s leading manufacturing organisations to solve complex measurement problems. I know of many customers that have gone through the pain of having to change software several times in recent years due to lack of software development or product support – that can’t be efficient or cost-effective for the user”.

For anybody that is considering measuring software, Measurement Solutions will visit users and very quickly connect a laptop PC to just about any device for a live demo using the customer’s own measuring equipment. “The look of disbelief from users when we visit them and have their equipment measuring using Metrolog X4 within a few minutes of arriving on site is great to see”, comments Andrew Tagg. “This is most noticeable on CNC CMM’s or robot-based systems, where we can quickly and confidently take full control of the measuring system under one software, with no “ifs or buts” – it just works, every time”.

Measurement Solutions will be exhibiting Metrolog X4 on a several portable measuring systems at Advanced Engineering stand G4. For more details, visit
