Introducing the SmartMeasure-AL: The Next Evolution in Automated Precision Measurement
01 August 2025
IN AN era where skilled manpower is becoming increasingly scarce, automation is the key to maintaining productivity and efficiency. Meet the SmartMeasure-AL, an advanced automated measurement system designed to operate seamlessly on Mitutoyo Measuring Machines.

This innovative system revolutionises industrial measurement processes by delivering precision, reliability, and full automation.
SmartMeasure-AL offers unparalleled productivity by enabling continuous, fully automated measurement cycles. The system can run autonomously 24/7, enabling consistent output without human intervention. This not only increases efficiency but also minimises downtime, allowing factories to maintain high output levels even during labour shortages. Measurement results are sent directly to CNC machines, allowing for real-time tool correction and enhanced operational efficiency. With support for multiple pallets, the SmartMeasure AL streamlines workflows, enhances throughput, and significantly boosts overall factory productivity.
Unlike traditional measurement setups where variations in human operation can lead to inconsistencies, the SmartMeasure-AL ensures uniform performance. Configuring the system once allows it to perform repeated measurements in the exact same way, reducing errors and ensuring highly reliable results. By eliminating the variability associated with manual measurements, manufacturers can achieve greater consistency and meet strict quality standards. Additionally, the system’s intuitive software allows operators to easily re-measure rejected parts without having to repeat entire sequences, saving time, minimising material waste, and improving production efficiency.
Ease of use and smart connectivity make SmartMeasure-AL a game-changer for industrial applications. The user-friendly Space4win software and graphical user interface (GUI) enable operators - even those without prior experience - to run the system effortlessly. The integration of RFID technology ensures automatic part program selection, reducing setup times and streamlining operations. Seamless connectivity allows measurement results to be sent to statistical software or external systems for further analysis, improving decision-making and quality control. With its flexible configuration, SmartMeasure- AL adapts to various manufacturing environments, making it an ideal solution for companies looking to enhance automation and efficiency.
SmartMeasure-AL is the ultimate solution for industries facing manpower shortages, offering efficiency, precision, and adaptability across various sectors. With its ability to run independently, reduce human error, and simplify operations, SmartMeasure-AL is set to redefine automated measurement standards. Since it seamlessly integrates into existing workflows, it offers manufacturers a cost-effective way to increase accuracy, maximise uptime, and stay ahead in a competitive market.
