Upgrading measuring capability: Metrology software package offers simple direct interfacing to a wide range of measuring solutions

摘要

In 1980, a young French engineer called Philippe Cimadomo formed a small electrical engineering company - in Grenoble - dedicated to improving efficiency in quality control. Metrologic Group was born; and with the arrival of desk-top computing and Windows operating systems in the early eighties, it introduced the first-ever Windows-based 3-D measuring software - Metrolog. It now has an annual turnover of around ￡40 million, offices and resellers throughout the world, and thousands of licences of its latest software (Metrolog X4) in daily use. In 2018, Metrologic Group was acquired by Sandvik Group for over ￡300 million - a record figure in the metrology sector.
