SpatialAnalyzer
(SA) is a
traceable metrology 3D graphical software platform that can
simultaneously communicate to virtually any number and type of
dimensional measurement system and perform complex analysis tasks
simply. SA makes it easy for users to
build,
inspect, and
reverse
design airplane parts and tools with any of the portable
measurement technologies (Laser
Trackers, Local GPS, Portable CMM's, Theodolites, Laser Scanners,
etc). It provides simple common interfaces for each of the
technologies, e.g., all types of laser trackers (Leica, FARO, SMX,
and API) have the same user interface. Once a user can run a job
with a Leica tracker they can also run the job with an FARO or API.
This capability enables measurement groups to share equipment and
therefore choose the combination of
measurement technologies that best fits the measurement job -
without having to retrain operators. SpatialAnalyzer is also the
only software package capable of running any number of the
measurement sensors at the same time and therefore saves time by
minimizing schedule impacts, which allows the factory to keep
processes online.

SA's graphical environment allows the user to download the CAD
model (e.g., CATIA, UG, etc.) in the ISO standard STEP formats (or
in many other industry standard formats) and then make all the
measurements and perform the analysis including Geometric
Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) on the shop floor. A complete
suite of complex analysis and
alignment/transformation routines has been rigorously tested and
are easy to use.
SpatialAnalyzer's
software architecture is based on always maintaining fundamental
data integrity by storing the basic metrology measurements and
therefore maintains traceable links for Quality Assurance.
Uncertainty analysis and
reporting in web compatible formats make it easy to share the
results. SA's platform of metrology solutions can be extended to
support entire processes through general external database
connectivity. This feature in a more specific form is how the
Data
Management System (DMS) supports processes like
Boeing's
airplane programs.
Since its inception, SpatialAnalyzer has been involved in
leading-edge
applications in almost every industry involving large-scale
manufacturing.
SA delivers solutions which completely integrate
"real-time 3D Inspection,
Assembly-Build, and
Reverse
Design applications with
portable measurement systems.
SA is for system users and customers of 3D measurements that need
a
configurable and programmable platform that is easy-to-use and
is able to minimize training
costs yet deliver solid reliable
solutions for engineers and production work cells.
