Metrolog V5 and Silma V5

Throughout the last few years, Metrologic Group has been working towards the successful implementation of its proven XG Solutions^® products within the CATIA V5 architecture. The Metrologic Group range of V5 Solutions^® is the World's only CMM software to be fully integrated within the CATIA environment that provides direct and real-time communication with the measuring machine.

This exceptional and unique integration gives users an incredible technical advantage by opening up a direct link with the CATIA V5 database. This also enables Metrologic Group to stay ahead of the competition through this new direct-link technology, a solution that has never been performed before.

The main goal of this partnership was to establish a PLM Solution (Product Life Management) with a direct data link from design engineering, through manufacturing and up to quality control, in order to maintain consistency in data management from design to the final control, and vice versa : no more headaches caused by data transfer !

This objective has been achieved, thanks to the signing of the CAA2 agreement between Delmia and Metrologic Group. This successful development has resulted in a unique CATIA V5 embedded inspection solution. This solution opens up a comple new era of powerful and user oriented inspection applications.

Metrolog V5^® combines all of the standard features of the standalone Metrolog XG^® online inspection software, providing all the measuring functionality required to work with any kind of CMM. The end user version was launched with the release of CATIA V5 R13.

In the same way, the offline version Silma V5^® provides the same functionality of as the popular Silma XG^®

The combination of Metrolog V5^® and Silma V5^® is guaranteed to provide a unique native link for CATIA V5 users between Design, Production and Inspection
