SME, the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, is a non-profit organization focused on connecting academics with real-world professionals to foment the continuation of the manufacturing industry.  As part of SME's outreach efforts, they work with local businesses to set up tours and discussions in order to educate both university students as well as other professionals across the manufacturing spectrum. 

This tour and talk at Metrologic Group's Wixom, MI office provided a unique opportunity to see metrology in person, and to better understand how metrology impacts manufacturing from both a quality and cost standpoint. 

Unlocking Metrologic's Innovative Technologies

During the tour at Metrologic, local manufacturers had the opportunity to explore the innovative technologies that Metrologic has developed. These technologies are at the forefront of the metrology industry and have the potential to revolutionize the way businesses operate. By taking advantage of these innovative technologies, local manufacturers can gain a competitive edge in both efficiencies, by improving the speed and accuracy of measurements, as well as quality, by improving quality control processes by utilizing the elements of model-based definition.
