Metrology Reporting is a simple, intelligent, and accessible cloud-based software solution designed to be a central location for metrology data reporting and visualization. Metrology Reporting enables users to view reports, trends, basic statistics, historical information and more.

Metrology Reporting provides real-time information and insights, enabling increased productivity based on data driven decision making. Cloud-based, its centralized reporting functionality is simple to use, provides intelligent insight, and is accessible on any device at any time.

It provides intelligent insight and is accessible on any device at any time. By providing real-time information and insight, productivity can increase based on data-driven decision making. Its modern and intuitive user interface replaces dated UX and workflows from legacy systems. User frustration and inefficiencies will be a thing of the past.

Yes, Metrology Reporting is a cloud product running on Microsoft Azure.

No, we do not offer an on-premise version of Metrology Reporting and have no plans to do so.

Metrology reporting is an app running on the Nexus platform.

Metrology Reporting offers a free Base tier of functionality with an additional paid Advanced tier with more functionality aimed at enhancing users’ workflows.

A customer gets access to Metrology Reporting automatically if they sign up for a new Nexus account.

There is no limit to the number of users who can access Metrology Reporting at the same time.

Currently Metrology Reporting supports data from PC-DMIS, QUINDOS, Inspire and Volume Graphics, with plans to support additional HMI software.

Currently, we have plans to support data from Spatial Analyzer, Q-DAS and NC Gage in the near future.

Metrology Reporting is hosted in UKSouth (Slough) UK data center, and replicated in UKWest (Cardiff) UK data center. European customers data is also stored in SFX EU data center in Netherlands, Western Europe. All other customers data is also stored in SFX AM data center in Iowa, Central USA.

Data is transmitted out of recent versions of PC-DMIS using Hexagons XaltEdge (MQTT based) technology. If the user has onboarded SFx Desktop, then any opted in data is transmitted by the SFx Desktop service to SFx Azure servers. Metrology Reporting gets notified of new data and will securely copy and store the data to Metrology Reporting server for accessibility on the dashboard.

The following products and product versions are supported:

• PC-DMIS (2023.2 and higher)
• QUINDOS (2024.1 and higher)
• INSPIRE (2023.3 and higher)
• VGSTUDIO MAX (2023.3 and higher)

No. If you want trace information to be associated with the results other than part name and asset name, then you will need to use the PC-DMIS TRACEFIELD command.

There are four types of data sent, each with their own opt-in setting:

• Dimensional Data is sending dimensional results, required for Sample, Statistics & CAD Reports, and for our statistical charts.
• CAD Data is a GLB representation of the part model which SFx Desktop creates automatically. Note - we do NOT send native CAD files. This is required to show the part model on thumbnails and CAD Report.
• Feature Data is a parameterized description of features associated with the reported dimensions, used to draw the features on the CAD Report.
• Reports are PDF, Excel, PTF & TXT reports produced by PC-DMIS and QUINDOS.

No, only a graphical, triangle representation of the model data, called GLB data, is passed to Metrology Reporting.

Currently there is no cap on storage. Hexagon will be looking to put caps in place for fair usage.

Metrology Reporting offers the Basic Statistics Report which performs basic CP/CPK calculations. These are basic and non-customizable. For deeper analysis we advise looking at Q-DAS. We will also be integrating Q-DAS with metrology Reporting.

The Basic Statistics Report is calculated by Metrology Reporting and does not come from Q-DAS. It is non-customizable and does not offer deep analysis like Q-DAS offers. In the future we will integrate with Q-DAS so users who have both products can benefit from both simultaneously.
