With this update, Hexagon delivers both automation and value by including the Inspect Automate module at no additional cost for users with an active MyCare/SMA subscription, bringing advanced workflow automation within easy reach of metrology teams.

Key upgrades and customer benefits 

The PC-DMIS 2025.2 release delivers both powerful new automation tools and real-world benefits for metrology teams:
• The new Inspect Automate module (valued at $2,000) unlocks Automate Playlists, Automate Pallets, and Automate Barcode tools, helping users reduce setup time, streamline batch inspections, and eliminate repetitive manual steps.
• These automation features empower metrology teams to increase throughput, improve inspection consistency, and focus on higher-value engineering tasks.
• Smarter workflows enable faster, more reliable inspections with fewer errors, allowing teams to inspect more parts in less time without compromising precision.
• Enhanced access controls within the Inspect module allow administrators to assign user roles and manage function access, improving both usability and compliance.
• Upgraded pallet functionality enables pausing and editing during execution, while the new batch prefix feature streamlines tracking and reporting across production runs.

“Weʼre excited to showcase the innovations in PC-DMIS 2025.2 and demonstrate how the Inspect Automate module can transform inspection workflows,ˮ says Ken Woodbine, senior portfolio manager at Hexagon’s Stationary Metrology Division. Woodbine also took some time to answer a few questions from Quality Digest.

Quality Digest: How does the Inspect Automate module differ from similar products?

Ken Woodbine: It offers our CMM users who are focused on executing complex programs an easy and elegant way to do so.

QD: Do you have some specific metrics and statistics on how this affects or improves productivity, how or by what percentage it reduces error rates, and therefore contributes to a more efficient workflow?

Woodbine: The production environment, including metrology functions, are persona based. Many hundreds of our customers value this interface as it simplifies their workflow immensely.

QD: With what technologies does this work well in tandem?

Woodbine: This works will for the Operator persona, which might be someone who doesn’t have time or the relevant training but still needs to execute measurement routines for their CMM.

QD: How are data shared among the inspection teams?

Woodbine: The results are the same that are generated by standard PC-DMIS, and therefore these can be shared in the “standard” ways available. These include creating PDF report files as well as custom reports that may have been created. It also allows for the upload of results data to our dedicated reporting products like QDAS or Metrology Reporting.

QD: Is it compatible with most CMMs and platforms?

Woodbine: It is compatible with any device that uses the very popular PC-DMIS programs.
