Bowers Group has unveiled its latest advancement in connected metrology, in the form of its new Bowers BT 150mm digital caliper with Bowers Connect software, which is compatible with all Bluetooth-compatible products and the wider Sylvac range.

Ryan Kingswell, Bowers Group’s sales director, said: “We are excited to launch the Bowers BT caliper and Bowers Connect software as a fully connected solution that puts precision and productivity right at our customers’ fingertips. This innovation marks another step forward in helping manufacturers embrace smarter, more-efficient quality control, and boost productivity across the entire shopfloor.”

The Bowers BT Caliper is the latest addition to the company’s expanding range of connected metrology tools. Rated to IP67 for dust and water resistance, the caliper combines durability with Bluetooth wireless technology, allowing seamless connectivity to IoT systems and devices. Its extra-large digital display, programmable functions, and robust construction make it ideal for both workshop and inspection lab use.

Real-time insights

Complementing the hardware is Bowers Connect, an innovative, versatile and user-friendly software platform that transforms how inspection data is captured, monitored, and managed. Compatible with up to 500 instruments, including those connected via USB, Bluetooth, or M-BUS, the software enables real-time insights, guided inspections, and full traceability, all from one centralised system.

With features such as pass/fail tolerance displays, drawing uploads, and step-by-step inspection workflows, Bowers Connect empowers teams to reduce errors, eliminate manual data entry, and improve decision-making. Designed to be a cost-effective alternative to large-scale quality managment solutions, it brings advanced capabilities within the reach of small and medium-size manufacturers.
