PrecisionPath Consortium for Large-Scale Manufacturing Launches Survey



The Coordinate Metrology Society, in collaboration with UNC Charlotte, announced that the PrecisionPath Consortium for Large-Scale Manufacturing has launched an industry-at-large survey at www.PrecisionPathConsortium.com.

Participants should select the "Take our Survey" button on the home page to contribute to the PrecisionPath Technology Roadmapping initiative. Users and managers of portable metrology systems are invited to take the survey and join the PrecisionPath community. The survey is being conducted purely for research purposes and all answers are private. To ensure confidentiality, no identifying personal information is collected with the survey.

The PrecisionPath survey will address usage scenarios and issues impacting many industries, such as aerospace, automotive, defense, power generation, boat building, satellite, oil and gas, and any related field that manufactures large-scale precision parts that require in-place measurement.

The PrecisionPath team has prepared its first industry-at-large survey based on member feedback from the consortium's "Needs Assessment and Gap Analysis" workshop held in February 2016. This study will gather information about current capabilities and requirements, as well as anticipated future needs, for portable metrology systems in support of large-scale precision manufacturing.

The PrecisionPath Consortium is comprised of representatives from leading manufacturing companies including Lockheed Martin, The Boeing Company, Spirit AeroSystems, Brookhaven National Laboratory and Siemens. Participating OEMs and metrology service providers included Automated Precision (API), New River Kinematics (NRK), Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence, ECM Global Measurement Solutions, FARO Technologies, Nikon Metrology and Planet Tool and Engineering. Consortium organizers are Ron Hicks, CMS PrecisionPath Chair, and UNC Charlotte representatives Ed Morse, John Ziegert, Ram Kumar and Antonis Stylianou. Thomas Lettieri of NIST serves in a consulting role for the consortium.

The alliance is supported by an Advanced Manufacturing Technology Consortia (AMTech) Grant from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
