Software development company InnovMetric has released PolyWorks 2025, a new version of their enterprise solution that delivers a digital thread framework that defines, streamlines and supports the flow of dimensional inspection information enterprise wide.

The product reportedly enables industrial manufacturers to improve the performance of their inspection workflows, facilitate team collaboration, prevent unauthorised access to data and ensure process traceability.

PolyWorks 2025 introduces enhancements to the three fundamental software components required to deploy an end-to-end digital thread for dimensional inspection: The universal metrology software platform, data management on a central server and digital connectors to interconnect 3D measurement to other enterprise solutions.

These enhancements include:
Inspection project templates to manage and deploy best practices for metadata and measurement methodologies;
Piece-inspection locking to protect important information and prevent editing by other users;
View-only inspection projects to review measurement results in 3D without sharing proprietary or confidential data;
A web-based approval workflow to assign, review, and approve or reject piece inspections.

“We are proud to be digitally connecting all aspects of our customers’ dimensional inspection processes, breaking down workflow silos. Achieving this high level of connectivity required us to break down our own software development silos, creating a whole new category of functionalities that leverage the entirety of the PolyWorks digital thread software components,” said Marc Soucy, president of InnovMetric, in a press statement. “The smart manufacturers of tomorrow will rely on 3D measurement data for their important engineering and manufacturing decisions. We are committed to providing the software solutions to turn this vision into reality today.”

The PolyWorks digital thread enables partners to digitally interconnect their software solutions to the PolyWorks universal metrology software platform and centralised data management server. It also allows automating the data flows that deliver dimensional inspection inputs to quality and leverage digital twin instances as well as 3D measurement data outputs enterprise-wide.
