On March 7, 2022, industrial metrology specialist The Sempre Group officially opens its Dublin facility. The 180 square metre facility will provide Irish manufacturers with access to metrology products and services, as well as local support from its Irish team.
To celebrate the opening The Sempre Group will be hosting a series of open house events to give manufacturers demonstrations of its quality and inspection systems.
At the Dublin facility, The Sempre Group will showcase innovative metrology systems and software from a range of leading global manufacturers. For a limited time, visitors to the site can see demonstrations of these systems in person, such as the DWFritz Zerotouch 3D scanning system, Novacam non-contact bore inspection equipment and the Sensofar optical profiler.
Mike Johns, technical director at The Sempre Group, said: “Manufacturers often treat quality as an afterthought — I regularly visit companies that still store quality management data on paper in huge filing cabinets. On our open days we aim to change the narrative and demonstrate how metrology enables manufacturers to make improvements at every step of production.”
Jason McGlynn, commercial manager for Ireland at The Sempre Group, added: “Ireland is one of Europe’s largest medtech hubs, with medical devices making up almost ten per cent of all Irish exports. Our open days are a great opportunity to experience, for a limited time only, the very latest metrology technology in the global market, with one-to-one demonstrations and advice on how Quality 4.0 can drive positive change in our customers’ organisations.”
At the facility, The Sempre Group team will demonstrate the core steps and benefits of quality at every stage of production — from drawing to product. These steps include ballooning and creating of in-process inspection plans, creating measurement routines, bespoke measurement solutions such as fixtures, connected metrology, lean working, reporting and compliance.
The Sempre Group first expanded into Ireland in March 2020 by introducing Jason McGlynn to the team as commercial manager. It has since expanded to include service and application engineer, Paul Cullen, as well as a dedicated Irish technical support team. The office aims to further support Sempre’s Irish customers, enabling the Irish team to carry out contract measurement services locally, cutting down the number of days that can be lost by shipping from Ireland to England.
