INSPHERE is an innovative technology company focusing on the development and implementation of metrology and data capture systems into high value manufacturing processes. Working across a range of industries including Energy, Automotive and Aerospace, the company creates solutions that enable measurement data to be used to drive and improve manufacturing processes, enabling a step change in process flexibility, efficiency and productivity.   The IONA System is a scalable network of sensors providing metrology-grade positional data of automated manufacturing processes.

Live positional data from IONA enables robot simulations and programs to be updated either periodically or in real-time. This can be used to correct for variation in part location, cell setup or inherent errors in the automated system. This data enables an accurate digital twin of the manufacturing system, allowing the user to bring offline programmes online – seamlessly – without the need for manual intervention. The metrology-grade data generated can be used to improve the accuracy and performance of robots enabling new processes to be automated.
