Accelerating the digital transformation of 3D measurement in the Japanese manufacturing industry through Cloud, AI, and universal compatibility.
InnovMetric (Headquarters: Canada), an independent software vendor supporting digital transformation (DX) for manufacturers of all sizes, has announced PolyWorks® 2026, the latest major version of its smart 3D metrology software suite.
PolyWorks® 2026 provides three key innovations aimed at enhancing efficiency and collaboration in quality assurance and inspection for the manufacturing industry:
1. Data management solutions in a cloud-based SaaS (Software as a Service) model.
2. Expanded software compatibility to support a wider range of measurement equipment.
3. A 24-hour AI technical support assistant.
PolyWorks® 2026 provides an environment where metrology engineers and quality control personnel can build standardized dimensional inspection processes, enabling seamless collaboration with multiple locations and external suppliers.
### New Features Strengthening the Digital Thread Foundation
To support the advancement of inspection labs, PolyWorks® 2026 has introduced two new enhancements based on the Digital Thread concept.
DataLoop Cloud™ is a SaaS-based data management solution designed for manufacturers who want to reduce the burden of in-house server construction and operation. It centralizes secure data management while contributing to simplified deployment and reduction of ongoing maintenance costs.
Furthermore, PolyWorks|Inspector™ licenses and piece measurement templates can now be seamlessly shared across multiple locations via a customized user interface. This promotes the standardization of inspection procedures and supports the efficiency of inspection tasks at global production sites.
### Further Evolution of the Universal Metrology Platform
The PolyWorks® universal metrology platform enables flexible and efficient on-site work through four major functional expansions:
- **CT Scan Module**: Supports CT-based automated inspection of multiple parts in production environments.
- **Web-based Data Application**: Allows for direct collection and integration of handheld gauge and visual inspection results on the shop floor.
- **Real-time Integration of Portable Multi-line Scanners**: Processes scan data directly within PolyWorks|Inspector™, eliminating the need for data transfer or software switching.
- **Advanced 5-axis Probe Head Support**: Supports native features such as moving positioning, head-touch measurement, and interference analysis.
### Enhancing User Experience with 24/7 AI Assistant
InnovMetric has launched MyPolyWorks AI, integrated into the MyPolyWorks user portal. Available 24/7, this AI assistant allows users to ask questions in their own language and receive immediate, reliable, and practical answers, along with automatic links to relevant documentation and recommendations.
### Management Comments
Marc Soucy, President and CEO of InnovMetric, stated:
"We aim to realize the ideal inspection environment together with our customers. This is an environment where data is connected as a digital thread, operational efficiency is improved, team collaboration is strengthened, and reliable traceability is ensured. By utilizing accurate and consistent data, it is possible to improve quality, make flexible decisions, and shorten time-to-market. We will continue to support the strengthening of competitiveness and growth of the global manufacturing industry, including Japan."
