Capvidia, a leader in Model-Based Definition (MBD), and Hexagon are set to co-host a live webinar on February 25, 2026, focusing on the integration of digital threads that link design to inspection. Entitled "Connected for Success: Unlock seamless data flow and precision from design to inspection," the session will demonstrate how MBD, the Quality Information Framework (QIF), and PC-DMIS metrology software can streamline manufacturing processes.
Digital Transformation in Manufacturing
The upcoming webinar addresses a growing need in the manufacturing sector: the demand for increased speed and accuracy without sacrificing quality. As manufacturers face mounting pressures to enhance productivity, the integration of a digital thread becomes paramount. Capvidia and Hexagon aim to provide insights on how implementing MBD and QIF can facilitate this transformation.
Tomasz Luniewski, CEO of Capvidia, emphasized the importance of interoperability across the product lifecycle. "By grounding the workflow in open standards like QIF and connecting design intent to downstream execution and measurement, teams can eliminate gaps and build a more traceable, automation-ready process," he stated. This approach not only accelerates production but also ensures compliance with both OEM and governmental requirements.
What Attendees Can Expect
Participants in the webinar will receive a comprehensive overview of how to create a cohesive digital thread throughout the product lifecycle. Key topics will include establishing seamless communication from design to inspection, preserving design intent, and improving traceability. The session will also cover strategies for reducing manual data entry, minimizing translation errors, and creating an audit trail for compliance.
Attendees can expect real-world demonstrations showcasing the integration of MBD and QIF into PC-DMIS, which will illustrate how these technologies can enhance inspection accuracy and efficiency. The webinar aims to provide actionable insights that manufacturers can apply immediately to their operations, translating theory into practice.
Expert Insights from Industry Leaders
Hexagon will feature Ken Woodbine, Senior Portfolio Manager for Stationary Metrology Software, and Oggy Dragasevic, a Senior Application Engineer at Capvidia, as speakers for the session. Their combined expertise in metrology and model-based solutions promises to offer valuable perspectives on the challenges and solutions in the industry.
Woodbine and Dragasevic will delve into the specifics of how MBD and QIF work together to eliminate data silos and enhance workflows. They will also explore how these technologies can create a single source of truth for manufacturers, enabling them to meet stringent quality standards while reducing the potential for human error.
The Importance of a Seamless Digital Thread
The concept of a digital thread is increasingly recognized as vital for modern manufacturing. It ensures that data flows seamlessly between design, production, and inspection stages, facilitating a more agile and responsive manufacturing environment. By adopting a digital thread approach, organizations can enhance their operational efficiency and maintain high standards of quality.
As the industry grapples with challenges such as rising costs and the need for faster production cycles, the ability to trace each requirement back to its source becomes essential. The integration of technologies like MBD and QIF into existing software like PC-DMIS offers manufacturers the tools they need to thrive in this competitive landscape.
Capvidia and Hexagon's collaboration represents a significant step towards addressing these challenges. By providing a platform for learning and discussion, the webinar aims to equip manufacturers with the knowledge they need to implement these innovative solutions successfully.
The live webinar on February 25, 2026, at 9:00 AM EST / 2:00 PM GMT, presents an opportunity for professionals in the manufacturing sector to gain insights into building a more efficient and transparent production process. Registration is available through Hexagon's dedicated link, ensuring that attendees can secure their spots for this informative event.
