Embraer and Hexagon advance Predictive Quality for next-generation aircraft manufacturing. At the Farnborough International Airshow 2026 (FIA2026), Embraer and Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence announced an extension of their long-term collaboration to advance predictive quality solutions for aircraft production and maintenance. The partnership brings together aerospace manufacturing expertise, precision metrology, automation, and artificial intelligence to transform how aircraft are inspected, assembled, and maintained. The announcement reflects a fundamental shift taking place across aerospace manufacturing: quality inspection is evolving from a reactive verification process into a predictive capability. Measurement data is no longer viewed simply as a record confirming whether a component meets specification. Instead, it is becoming a strategic manufacturing asset that can be analysed to identify potential issues before they impact production, reduce rework, and improve operational efficiency. By combining Hexagon's advanced measurement technologies with Embraer's aerospace manufacturing expertise, the companies aim to accelerate the adoption of intelligent quality processes that support faster decision-making, improved process control, and increased manufacturing flexibility. Moving from Inspection to Prediction For decades, aerospace manufacturers have relied on rigorous inspection processes to ensure that aircraft structures and components meet demanding safety and performance requirements. These inspection operations remain essential, but traditional approaches often identify problems only after manufacturing steps have been completed. When deviations are discovered late in the production cycle, manufacturers can face costly consequences, including rework, production delays, and additional engineering analysis. Predictive quality introduces a new approach by using measurement data, automation, and artificial intelligence to identify trends and potential issues earlier. Rather than simply asking whether a component is within specification, predictive quality seeks to understand manufacturing behaviour - identifying why variations occur and how processes can be improved before defects are created. For aerospace manufacturers producing complex aircraft structures with thousands of interconnected components, this capability has the potential to significantly improve productivity while maintaining the highest standards of quality. Advanced Metrology for Aerospace Assembly Aircraft manufacturing presents some of the most demanding measurement challenges in industry. Large structures, complex geometries, and extremely tight assembly tolerances require measurement technologies capable of delivering both accuracy and flexibility. A key technology supporting Hexagon's aerospace inspection capabilities is the Leica Absolute Tracker ATS800, which combines high-accuracy laser tracking with scanning capabilities for large-scale measurement applications. Such systems enable manufacturers to capture detailed dimensional information from aircraft structures and assemblies, providing valuable insight throughout the manufacturing process. When combined with automated workflows and digital manufacturing systems, measurement data can be transformed into actionable intelligence. In aircraft assembly environments, this capability enables manufacturers to verify alignment, positioning, and geometric accuracy during production rather than relying solely on final inspection. Potential issues can be identified earlier, allowing corrective action to be taken before they affect downstream operations. Artificial Intelligence Enhances Quality Decision-Making Artificial intelligence is becoming an increasingly important element of modern manufacturing and metrology strategies. While measurement systems have always generated large volumes of valuable data, AI provides the ability to analyse this information rapidly and identify patterns that may not be visible through traditional methods. Within a predictive quality environment, AI can help correlate measurement results with manufacturing conditions, identify recurring sources of variation, and provide recommendations to improve process stability. For aerospace manufacturers, where production complexity is exceptionally high, intelligent analysis can deliver significant benefits. Even incremental improvements in process capability can reduce manufacturing interruptions, improve delivery performance, and increase confidence in production outcomes. The integration of AI into metrology workflows represents a major evolution in the role of measurement - moving from simply reporting quality results to actively supporting manufacturing decisions. Building the Aerospace Digital Thread The Embraer and Hexagon collaboration also highlights the growing importance of the digital thread within modern aerospace manufacturing. Today's advanced factories are increasingly based on connected ecosystems where design data, manufacturing processes, inspection results, and quality information are linked together. This connectivity enables manufacturers to create a continuous flow of information throughout the product lifecycle. By integrating metrology data into the wider manufacturing environment, companies can establish closed-loop quality processes. Inspection results can provide feedback to engineering and production teams, helping optimise processes and improve future manufacturing performance. This approach supports the broader Industry 4.0 vision of smart factories, where machines, software, and people work together using real-time information to improve productivity and quality. Extending Predictive Quality into MRO While aircraft production is a primary focus, predictive quality technologies also offer significant opportunities within aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO). Aircraft operators and maintenance organisations require accurate information about structural condition throughout an aircraft's service life. Advanced measurement technologies and digital inspection workflows can help improve maintenance efficiency, support faster decision-making, and provide more comprehensive records of aircraft condition. By combining high-accuracy measurement with historical data and intelligent analysis, MRO organisations can gain deeper insights into structural changes, wear patterns, and potential maintenance requirements. This creates the opportunity for a more proactive approach to aircraft maintenance - moving from scheduled inspection alone toward condition-based decision-making. The Future of Aerospace Quality is Predictive The collaboration announced by Embraer and Hexagon at Farnborough International Airshow 2026 reflects a broader transformation underway across advanced manufacturing industries. As aerospace manufacturers face increasing pressure to improve efficiency, manage complexity, and maintain uncompromising quality standards, digital metrology will play an increasingly strategic role. The future aerospace factory will not simply inspect quality after production. It will continuously monitor, analyse, and optimise manufacturing performance throughout the entire process. By combining precision measurement, automation, and artificial intelligence, Embraer and Hexagon are demonstrating how metrology is evolving from a final inspection function into a core component of intelligent manufacturing. The next generation of aerospace manufacturing will not only measure quality - it will predict it.

Hexagon introduces precision metrology to large-scale manufacturing automation. Hexagon's Manufacturing Intelligence Business Area has launched OPC UA support in SpatialAnalyser, its software for large-scale metrology and alignment The integration combines high-precision laser measurement with the industrial control systems that drive robots and automated production lines, addressing accuracy issues that have limited robotic automation on large, complex parts. Large-format manufacturers in industries such as aerospace, energy, and shipbuilding are under pressure to increase production without compromising precision. The scale of this pressure has become visible in aerospace, according to Forecast International's May 2026 Airbus and Boeing orders and deliveries report: the two manufacturers' combined commercial aircraft order backlogs stood at over 16,000 aircraft at the end of May 2026. As robots alone cannot guarantee the precision that large, complex assemblies require, OPC UA has been designed to address this with a secure, common standard used to communicate between industrial control systems such as PLCs and robots, enabling automated processes. The new client includes encryption and authentication for secure data exchange, and is supported by 25 new MP/SDK commands for developers building automated OPC UA workflows. Zach Rogers, product manager for SpatialAnalyser at Hexagon, said, "Robots are much-needed in large-format manufacturing, but they are not accurate enough to perform operations such as drilling holes to the precision required - the bigger the part, the harder it can be to align. SpatialAnalyser is the software for orchestrating quality inspections and complex, metrology-assisted manufacturing and assembly processes, used by OEMs and their system integrators and line builders. This is a huge release for anyone using or building these systems, with support for all common metrology devices." Hexagon is also introducing SARCA, a robot-calibration device that utilises multi-zone, multi-tool calibration to enhance the accuracy of industrial robots by up to ten times. Used alongside SpatialAnalyser, SARCA enables manufacturers to calibrate robots for high-precision work before they enter production. This release also facilitates full use of a new class of metrology device, the Leica Absolute Tracker ATS800, across room scanning, conventional laser position tracking with reflectors, and high-precision direct scanning of features. Support for the ATS800 is provided through Hexagon's System Integrator Programme, which brings new metrology devices and capabilities to the systems built by OEMs and integrators. Aziz Tahiri, global director, Aerospace and Defence, Hexagon, said, "Our customers need better ways of delivering excellence, but sooner, to serve unprecedented aerospace and defence demand. SpatialAnalyser is trusted throughout the industry, and with robust OPC UA support for metrology, we have unlocked new automation capabilities in stable processes and brought mature building blocks to new challenges. With support for the unique direct scanning capabilities of the Leica Absolute Tracker ATS800, delivered through our revamped System Integrator Programme, we will help the ecosystem bring process innovations to the global community." The latest edition of SpatialAnalyser also includes Google Sheets integration for automated data workflows, and expanded support for precision scanners including the API LADAR, Leica RTC360, and Nikon LR, as well as being compatible with RDS 6.6 and the Leica TS20. SpatialAnalyser 2026.1, SARCA, and the Leica Absolute Tracker ATS800 are available as part of a global release.
