With over 30,000 seats in place, PC-DMIS-EMS is recognized as the world's most capable CMM metrology software.

EMS stands for Enterprise Metrology Solutions.  It's the guiding idea driving our software development for the long term.

EMS is a metrology system.  The logic behind it is simple.  It uses the core technologies of PC-DMIS as the foundation of a group of interrelated software products that companies of all sizes, ranging from small shops through multi-nation giants, can use to build integrated and efficient metrology systems.  These products work in a way similar to the way Microsoft Office products work.  They have a common look and feel and are able to share data and in some cases part programs among themselves.

For EMS to be a system, it has to have a basic set of capabilities that work together.  There are five:

• The control and operation of measurement equipment
• The development of inspection routines
• The evaluation of measurement data
• The generation of reports
• The transmission of information / feedback

Not every one of these may be needed for every job, but they must be available.  Plus, you must be able to configure and reconfigure them to meet changing requirements.

PC-DMIS Blade
A turnkey solution for measuring and analyzing blades

PC-DMIS Blade simplifies the job of creating blade measurement programs.  This software, developed in partnership with various blade manufactures, is a turnkey solution for the analog scanning of blade sections.  PC-DMIS Blade is a Visual Basis add-on to the basic PC-DMIS package.  It has a simple to use GUI, that lets customers quickly identify parts, select the sections to measure and initiate scanning sequences. Setting up to scan a different blade type is a simple matter of entering a new set of parameters.  No additional CMM programming is necessary.

PC-DMIS CMM
Transforming CMM Metrology

PC-DMIS CMM is the world's leading Coordinate Measurement Machine (CMM) Software.  An investment of hundreds of man-years and millions of dollars results in a metrology software system that is at once powerful and yet easy to use.  With it, our customers measure everything from simple prismatic parts through the most complex aerospace and automotive components.

PC-DMIS Gear
Simplifying a difficult job

PC-DMIS Gear makes gear measurement easy.  The job of measuring gears on a CMM has always been a daunting one.  Deciding how best to inspect them and then interpret the results has long been the province of experts.  Just figuring out how to orient them properly requires a fair bit of expertise.  PC-DMIS Gear eliminates these complexities and makes it possible for non-experts to begin measuring gears quickly and productively.

PC-DMIS Inspection Planner (IP)
Transmits design intent without paper and generates inspection programs automatically

PC-DMIS IP links design and inspection.  Inspection Planner consists of two parts, IP Planner, a CAD resident module, and IP measure, A PC-DMIS resident module. Using them in concert, customers can build design intent into their CAD models and the let any of the PC-DMIS inspection software packages (CMM, Vision, NC, etc.) automatically convert them into inspection programs.  PC-DMIS Inspection Planner eliminates the gulf between CAD and inspection.

PC-DMIS Numerical Control (NC)
In-Process CNC Metrology Software

PC-DMIS NC is an advanced, in-process metrology software package for CNC machines.  It applies the technologies of PC-DMIS, the world's leading CMM software package to the task of CNC inspection.  PC-DMIS NC simplifies the task of writing inspection routines for NC machines, but it does not compromise on the sophisticated programming, measurement, evaluation and reporting tools of the baseline product.  Wilcox Associates has invested millions of dollars and hundreds of man-years in understanding measurement and in applying that understanding to our software.  PC-DMIS NC lets our users take full advantage of our investment.

PC-DMIS Vision
A new take on Vision Measurement

PC-DMIS Vision reduces the time spent developing inspection programs by up to 75%.  PC-DMIS was the first CMM software to integrate CAD into the measurement process.  It has a sophisticated set of tools crafted to ease the job of developing, debugging and executing measurement program.  Wilcox Associates has adapted these capabilities and added powerful new ones to meet the unique requirements of vision metrology.  CMM users typically report reductions of between 50% and 75% in the time spent generating measurement routines.  Now, users of vision machines can expect the same.
