Bring CMM Results Into the Same Record as Everything Else
Dimensional inspection data is too valuable to stay trapped in a separate system, folder, or file — disconnected from the production and quality record it belongs with.
10in6 CMM Integration captures Coordinate Measuring Machine results automatically and ties them to the specific unit, batch, or job — so engineers, supervisors, and auditors see dimensional quality alongside traceability, checks, and production history in one place.
CMM results exist. They just don't connect to anything else.
In most plants, dimensional inspection happens — but the results live in the CMM software, a shared drive, or a printed report. Connecting them to the production record that has the lot number, operator, job, and quality history requires manual effort that does not always happen.
CMM results live outside the production record
Measurement files may exist, but engineers, supervisors, and auditors still jump between systems to piece together what happened on a specific unit, batch, or job. The full picture is never in one place.
Manual handling creates delay and data risk
When dimensional results are copied, uploaded, or reviewed manually, teams lose time and increase the chance of missed data or transcription errors — especially during high-volume production.
Audits and investigations take longer than they should
When a customer complaint, deviation, or internal issue occurs, dimensional results are harder to find and review quickly if they are not tied directly to the rest of the production and quality record.
10in6 CMM Integration eliminates that gap — bringing measurement results into the same record your team already uses for everything else.
Automatic capture — no re-entry, no manual file handling
10in6 captures measurement results from your CMM software as they are produced and links them directly to the unit, batch, or job being inspected. That means dimensional quality data becomes part of the same production record your team already uses for traceability, scheduled checks, and performance review.
The integration works with the output your CMM software already produces — no changes to CMM hardware, software, or measurement programs are required. Our team evaluates the output format and integration path during the assessment phase and configures the connection to match your workflow.
The real value is not just automatic import. It is having dimensional results available in context — alongside the traceability record, quality check history, and production data for the same part, batch, or job.
What you gain when CMM data is connected
Automatic result capture
Measurement results are captured from CMM output as they are produced. No operator re-entry. No manual export. No file to track down later.
Unit, batch, and job linkage
Every measurement is tied to the specific unit, batch, or job it was taken against — so the dimensional record travels with the part rather than sitting in a separate location.
Complete quality record in one place
Engineers and auditors see CMM results alongside traceability, scheduled check history, and production data — without switching between systems or manually assembling information.
Faster audit and investigation response
When a customer complaint or deviation requires dimensional evidence, the team retrieves it from the production record rather than searching through CMM software, folders, or files.
No changes to your CMM
Integration works with the data your CMM software already produces. Hardware, software, and measurement programs remain untouched.
Separately licensed add-on
CMM Integration is available as an add-on to the Digital Quality System for plants where dimensional inspection is a formal part of the quality workflow.
- CMM results stored separately from other production data
- Manual searching required during audits, investigations, or customer follow-up
- Extra effort to move or interpret measurement files
- Dimensional quality reviewed in isolation from the rest of the record
- Measurement results tied directly to the unit, batch, or job
- Dimensional data visible alongside traceability and inspection history
- Faster review during audits, deviations, and customer requests
- Less manual handling and more complete data continuity
CMM Integration requires an active DQS license. Compatibility with your specific CMM hardware and software is evaluated during the 10in6 assessment phase. Contact our team to discuss your setup.
Dimensional data is more useful when it connects to the rest of the quality system
CMM Integration questions
- Which CMM brands does 10in6 support?
- 10in6 supports most major CMM brands that output measurement data in standard formats. The specific integration path depends on the CMM software and export format. Compatibility is evaluated during the assessment phase.
- Does CMM Integration require changes to the CMM itself?
- No. The integration works by capturing the measurement data that the CMM software already produces. It does not modify the CMM hardware, software, or measurement programs.
- Can CMM results be tied to specific parts, batches, or jobs?
- Yes. Measurement results are linked to the unit, batch, or job they were measured against. That means dimensional quality data lives alongside the rest of the production and quality record for that product — no separate lookup required.
- Is CMM Integration included in the standard DQS license?
- CMM Integration is sold as a separately licensed add-on to the Digital Quality System. It requires an active DQS license.
- What output formats does 10in6 accept from CMM systems?
- Most CMM software produces measurement results in standard output formats such as Q-DAS, CSV, or proprietary report formats. The specific formats supported depend on the CMM system in use. Our team evaluates the output format and integration path during the assessment phase.
