PC-DMIS 2021.1 is the latest release of Hexagon’s world-leading dimensional measurement software package for a multitude of metrology equipment types, from coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) to portable arms and scanners.

PC-DMIS 2021.1

The latest version of PC-DMIS continues to lead the way in revolutionising measurement. In this latest release, we have a number of  new capabilities to help drive productivity and flexible metrology, including the ability to manage assets using the new Metrology Asset Manager App, an improved Summary Mode and integration with a number of metrology sensors.

New: Metrology Asset Manager mobile application integration 

In the last version of PC-DMIS we proudly announced its full integration with the cloud-based Metrology Asset Manager software. In PC-DMIS 2021.1 this valuable information can be accessed easily and securely from any mobile device using the new Metrology Asset Manager Mobile App. This app is available on both Apple iOS and Android, providing a simple, mobile dashboard to all your connected assets. It allows the user to view the asset’s performance, quality, events and OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), as well as true real-time mobile alerts and notifications. Security won’t be a concern as the app integrates into the mobile devices’ built-in security functions such as FaceID or other biometric login authentication sensors.

Improved: Summary Mode
The PC-DMIS Summary Mode has long provided users a simplified view of their measurement routines. In PC-DMIS 2021.1 Summary Mode has been renovated to provide better access to the data without losing the clean look that makes it popular. Among these renovations are a new visibility toggle that allows users to hide and show the related graphics window elements. Dimensions commands now have a pass/fail colour tag to enable quick reference of problem characteristics, and a mode switch was added to applicable commands to prevent users needing to rely on the menus. The improved user experience also extends to execution where an updated execution pointer can help users find the currently executing command.

New: multiple sensor integrations

From 2021.1, PC-DMIS works with a number of new CMM sensors. This suite of sensors includes tough trigger probes, a new chromatic white light sensor and a roughness sensor. So when taking on a new project you may ask ‘can I measure my part?’, the answer now will almost certainly be ‘yes’. These sensors offer users the flexibility, future capability and workflow efficiency to optimise part measurement:

  • HP-THDe – tough trigger probe
  • HP-TMe – touch trigger probe
  • HP-OW – chromatic white light sensor
  • Profiler R – roughness sensor

PC-DMIS 2021.1 offers over 30 new features and improvements. Other highlights include:

  • Improved: Paste with Pattern – this feature has been improved over time. In this release, there is a new circular pattern to simplify routine creation.
    New: INSPECT barcode – INSPECT is our highly intuitive software for CMM operators, simplifying the routine execution. In this release, barcode registration and tracking is added.
  • Improved: Protect – designed to help our customers control the routine creation workflow and add traceability to their process, this release improves Protect with more intuitive UX and additional safeguarding features.

PC-DMIS is a highly flexible and widely-adopted metrology software. It comes as standard on all Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division’s measurement devices.

It is also available as a retrofit package for most other measurement equipment manufacturers’ machines, allowing users of non-Hexagon equipment to take advantage of PC-DMIS technology.
