deviations, and targeted optimization of
manufacturing parameters. Measurement
data, process information, and normative
requirements are interconnected to ensure
transparency and process reliability.
The technological foundation for this has
been established within the company for
years: Modern measurement systems
generate digital models of components
and pipe geometries for quality assur-
ance, process monitoring, and production
optimization. The result is higher product
quality, lower error rates, more efficient
processes, and improved documentation
and traceability – designed for Industry 4.0
environments.
By consolidating these competencies under
an independent brand, a clear market
positioning is created. The suffix “EX” was
deliberately chosen, as it concisely express-
es what defines the company at its core
and makes visible what it stands for. EX-
pertise means more than technical know-
how; it encompasses solution competence,
professional depth, methodological con-
fidence, and a profound understanding
of the industry. Solutions do not emerge
by chance, but from structured analysis,
practical knowledge, and the ambition to
deliver results that are both technically and
economically convincing. EXperience de-
scribes lived practice: successful projects,
long-standing partnerships, reliable action,
and the joint resolution of demanding
challenges. This form of experience builds
trust. EXploration represents the intrinsic
drive to think further, curiosity, openness,
and the courage to break new ground. In-
novation is not seen as an end in itself, but
as a responsibility to continuously question
and improve existing solutions. From this
mindset comes the ability to translate inno-
vation into practical solutions.
The suffix “EX” is therefore not merely
a label, but an expression of attitude. It
stands for competence, for established
partnerships, and for the ambition to
actively shape the future of measurement
technology.
TWINEX ScanIn: Intelligent, For-
ward-Looking Solution for Precise In-
ternal Diameter Measurement of Large
Pipes
As the first solution under the new brand,
MSG Solutions presents TWINEX ScanIn in a
mobile design - an intelligent and intuitive
system for measuring the internal diameter
of large pipes.
This task is associated with considerable
challenges. Current practice is often char-
acterized by manual methods, for example,
using standard laser distance meters or ca-
lipers in various directions. This approach
is highly operator-dependent and frequent-
ly results in position-related deviations
and subjective interpretations of individual
measurement points. Determining ovality,
that is, the difference between the maxi-
mum and minimum internal diameter, is
particularly critical. Since multiple meas-
urements are required for this purpose,
the process is not only time-consuming but
also prone to errors. Achieving a precise
pipe-to-pipe fit under such conditions be-
comes nearly impossible.
In addition, there is significant organiza-
tional effort involved, as different gauges
must be kept available and managed for
varying diameters.

Although highly precise static measure-
ment systems with tracking units deliver
exact results, they often lack flexibility in
practical use. Repositioning and reboot-
ing the tracking station can take several
minutes. Especially in harsh production
environments, their integration into ex-
isting inspection processes is not always
economical or practical. In addition, many
software environments are not designed
for standards-compliant measurements,
for example in accordance with API 5L.
