## Tools and methods

Laser trackers

Polyworks

Spatial Analyzer

GD&T

iGPS

Industrial and collaborative robots

## What I can do for your programme

Four ways to work together, from a single inspection problem to a complete measurement system.

### Metrology process design and review

Measurement plans, GD&T interpretation, and validation and verification checks, so your inspection results are traceable and hold up at audit.

### Large-volume measurement

Laser tracker set-up, jig and fixture verification, and Polyworks and Spatial Analyzer workflows for large aerostructures and engine components.

### Robot–metrology integration

Metrology-guided robot positioning and assembly, from a feasibility study through to a production-ready system.

### Inspection automation and training

Polyworks automation scripts that take the repetition out of inspection, plus the training and work instructions your team needs to run them.

## How an engagement works

### 1. Discovery call

A short, no-obligation conversation about the part, the process and the problem.

### 2. Assessment

A review of your current measurement process, data and constraints, followed by a written summary of options.

### 3. Delivery

Remote or on-site work (scripts, measurement plans, trials or integration), with regular check-ins.

### 4. Handover

Documentation, training and results your quality team can audit.

## Built on industrial research and production work

 [### Airbus UK and Cranfield University, 2015–2022

Metrology lead for a work package on the £1m AutoRAMP programme, part of research for A320 wing manufacturing. I developed the metrology code that guided multiple industrial robots in assembling a 15 m wing module, and took it from procurement through to successful TRL reviews. As a Research Fellow on Wing of Tomorrow, I led metrology systems development, including an automated in-tank inspection concept.](https://metrologybot.com/about) [### SAFRAN Nacelles

Automation and metrology engineer, measuring nacelle components and business jet engine casings, and streamlining inspection processes to cut inspection time.](https://metrologybot.com/about)

## What you get

### Less rework

Fit-up problems caught at the measurement stage, before they reach final assembly.

### Shorter inspection cycles

Scripted, repeatable routines replace manual steps.

### Audit-ready data

Traceable, documented results your quality team can stand behind.

### Robots that hit their targets

Metrology feedback that closes the gap between programmed and actual position.

### Evidence before investment

Technologies trialled against your actual parts before you commit budget.

### Knowledge that stays with you

Training and documentation, so your team isn't dependent on a consultant.

## Have a measurement problem on your line?

Tell me about the part, the process and where it's going wrong. I'll come back to you with an honest view on whether I can help.
