   We provide products and services for quality assurance. Our primary focus is on dimensional measurement: gages and systems for feature measurement, software and systems for data collection, analysis and management," said Keith Summers, President of PQI. Our business began as a seller of measurement systems. As these systems have evolved, their ability to generate data has often out paced the customers ability to collect, analyze and manage all of the data being produced. To address this problem we have created a separate sales and support team that focuses on software and systems to collect, analyze and manage data for quality assurance functions. ISI Products are a great fit with this groups mission and the needs of our customers."
