Today’s fast-paced manufacturing world sets a demand for high-quality data. Every measurement tells a story - about precision, consistency, and process performance. But without the right tools, that data often remains underused. That’s where Mitutoyo’s MeasurLink comes in: a powerful, user-friendly data collection and Statistical Process Control (SPC) software suite that transforms measurement data into real-time insights.
What is MeasurLink?
Unlike traditional systems, a shop floor CMM is designed to operate in real production environments, not just metrology labs. These machines are:
- Built to withstand dust, oil mist, vibration, and temperature fluctuations
- Optimized for inline inspection and real-time QA
- Engineered with temperature-compensated CMM technology to ensure consistent precision
By positioning inspection directly on the production floor, manufacturers gain immediate insights into dimensional quality, enabling faster corrections and reducing downstream issues.
How MeasurLink Helps Manufacturers
At its core, MeasurLink helps you take control of your production process. MeasurLink transforms your inspection process, moving it from a simple good/bad analysis to a comprehensive statistical overview of your entire production. It provides real-time monitoring of measurement data, allowing you to spot process variations before they lead to defects. This proactive approach saves time, reduces waste, and improves overall efficiency. For teams focused on quality assurance, MeasurLink offers a full suite of SPC tools, including control charts, histograms, and statistical calculations. These features make it easier to identify trends, monitor stability, and maintain consistent product quality. Its user-friendly interface and built-in Inspection Wizard mean that even those new to SPC can get started quickly. Guided data collection and customisable views make the software intuitive and accessible, so you do not need any advanced programming skills.
Data Collection Made Easy
With its ability to connect multiple devices, MeasurLink centralises measurement data across the entire manufacturing process. The result is a more transparent, efficient, and traceable system. Each feature is designed with process improvement in mind. Tools like Process Analyzer help identify root causes of variation, while customizable reporting and visualization options make it simple to communicate results across teams.
Key Benefits at a Glance
- Extensive measurement equipment compatibility.
- Real-time data collection and analysis for immediate insights.
