Manufacturing leaders don’t have time for theory without application. That’s why MSI Viking is proud to announce the 2026 Lunch & Learn Series—a focused, practical training program built for quality, manufacturing, and engineering professionals who need real-world metrology insight they can use immediately.
Each session is designed to tackle today’s most relevant measurement challenges—how to measure better, faster, and with confidence—while respecting one of your most valuable resources: time
What to Expect from the 2026 Lunch & Learn Series
Each Lunch & Learn follows a consistent, proven format:
- Time: 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM
- Format Includes:
- Technical presentation and application discussion
- Real-world manufacturing examples and best practices
- Networking lunch with hands-on discussion
These sessions are intentionally concise, technical, and practical—focused on solving real shop-floor and quality challenges, not sales pitches.
The 2026 Lunch & Learn Series brings together leading metrology technologies and practical expertise to help manufacturers improve how they measure, analyze, and act on quality data. Across the year, sessions will explore foundational topics like surface metrology with Mahr, helping attendees better understand roughness, waviness, and functional surface parameters, while also advancing into modern optical techniques that go beyond traditional contact methods. These events are designed to connect measurement theory directly to real manufacturing performance, ensuring results that matter on the shop floor.
Several sessions focus on transforming measurement data into reliable, decision-ready insight. Partners including Minitab, Prolink, and Simul8 will address standardizing data collection, analysis, and simulation to support compliance and continuous improvement. Reporting and communication are also emphasized through best practices in PC-DMIS inspection output from Hexagon, helping teams create clear, consistent reports that stand up to internal review and external audits.
The series also highlights advanced and emerging inspection technologies shaping the future of manufacturing. Attendees will explore portable metrology solutions—articulated arms, laser trackers, and 3D scanners—as well as high-resolution X-ray CT inspection with Waygate Technologies and Volume Graphics for internal defect analysis and complex geometry measurement. Later sessions dive into next-generation CMM architecture with Hexagon Maestro and close with critical guidance on measurement uncertainty and traceability from QC Training Services, ensuring manufacturers are prepared for both digital transformation and audit readiness.
