Our Mission

Provide a unique blend

of expertise in high-

value manufacturing,

metrology & automation

with the principal aim of

providing value added

metrology solutions


Innovative Customers


Networks at the source of innovation

We are independent and impartial working with all the major hardware and software providers


Our expertise

•  Metrology

•  Automation

•  High Value Manufacturing


Expertise - Metrology

We don’t compete with the many companies offering standard measurement services…

…we offer specialist expertise to develop metrology solutions that enhance

manufacturing



Specialist Measurement Services •  Bespoke, large structure measurement requiring

complex multi-instrument strategies

Measurement Strategy and Planning •  Planning and guidance on in-house measurement

tasks that our clients will then conduct themselves

Measurement Process Development •  Design, planning, test and implementation of

complete measurement processes and solutions

Measurement Consultancy •  Guidance on any aspect of metrology including the

use of our proprietary framework for implementing value added metrology

Core Activities



Lean 6-sigma Metrology

Effective Data

Efficient Data

Robust Data

Utilise data for process improvement and right first time manufacturing processes

Optimise metrology processes to maximise efficiency, miniming non-value added activity

Ensure data generated is reliable and follows best practice processes and standards



Training in the use of your metrology equipment – specific to your application. •  We have developed a training framework for laser

trackers, portable arms and SpatialAnalyser software.

•  This is unique in that we focus the training on your specific application. This ensures our clients grasp the best practice elements but also understand how to apply it to their needs.

Metrology Training



We are the preferred sub-contract metrology partner for Hexagon Metrology providing technical expertise and services to their client base.

Preferred Sub-Contractor


Expertise - Automation

Combining metrology and automation to create unique solutions for high-value manufacturing.


Expertise - Automation

Core Activities

High Accuracy Automation •  Solutions for enhanced accuracy automation using

metrology guidance or in-situ calibration systems. •  Our solutions consider not only the technical

requirements but also how best to achieve it given inevitable business case considerations.

Automation verification •  Characterisation of complex, dynamic automation

cells. •  Our method can determine the repeatability and

accuracy of complete automation systems taking into account dynamic forces influenced by payloads and path programmes as well as interactions with other elements of the system.


Our experience of high value manufacturing processes allows us to look beyond just the metrology application…

…Fundamentally we consider what the manufacturing process needs and how we can generate

the data to drive it.

Expertise – High Value Manufacturing



Core Activities

Process Led Innovation •  Development of data driven manufacturing solutions

•  Our expertise in HVM allows us to consider the overall process requirements then determine how data can be used to enable the required process capability.

•  This supports the use of metrology as a value added activity.

Research •  We have extensive experience managing technical

research programmes.

•  We can offer a range of services from research project management through to partnering on funded programmes to help generate high impact Intellectual property for your business.
