Evelin Arnold and Luca Sala with Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence

Industrial Talk is onsite at Hexagon LIVE and talking to Dr. Evelin Arnold and Luca Sala with Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence about "Precise metrology solutions".

Scott Mackenzie hosts a podcast discussing industrial innovations and trends with guests Evelin Arnold and Luca Sala from Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence. They highlight the company's new coordinate measuring machine (CMM), Maestro, which uses a software called Metrology Mentor to automate programming and improve efficiency. Maestro is designed to be user-friendly, reducing programming time by 80% and overall measurement time by 40% compared to traditional CMMs. It also features a digital twin for simulation and real-time data sharing, enhancing productivity and adaptability. The conversation emphasizes the importance of educating, collaborating, and innovating in the industrial sector.
