Sigmetrix to Showcase CETOL and VariSight at the GENERIS 2026 American Automotive Summit
Sigmetrix is proud to participate in the 11th Annual American Automotive Summit (AAS), hosted by Generis Group on September 15-16, 2026, at the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Centre in Detroit, Michigan. The two-day executive conference brings together automotive OEMs, Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, and technology providers to discuss manufacturing innovation, digital transformation, quality, supply chain performance, and next-generation vehicle technologies. The event is expected to attract more than 180 automotive leaders and feature organizations including General Motors, Stellantis, Tesla, Adient, Cooper Standard, Ford, Nissan, Continental, and BorgWarner.
As automotive manufacturers continue to balance quality, cost, speed, and innovation, Sigmetrix will showcase how a combination of engineering analysis solutions with enablement services help organizations reduce development risk and accelerate product launches. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn how CETOL 6σ and VariSight enable teams to make more informed design and manufacturing decisions across increasingly complex vehicle programs.
Enabling Model Based Definition to Achieve Real Results
What distinguishes Sigmetrix is its ability to combine advanced software solutions with comprehensive implementation services, GD&T training, and specialized consulting that address both the technical and organizational challenges of digital transformation. Rather than focusing solely on software deployment, Sigmetrix helps organizations build the knowledge, processes, and competencies required to successfully adopt Model-Based Definition (MBD) and Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) practices.
A cornerstone of this approach is Sigmetrix's expertise in GD&T education and workforce development. The company helps engineering teams develop the skills needed to create accurate, standards-compliant semantic product definition data, ensuring that digital models can serve as a reliable foundation for downstream manufacturing and quality processes. Complementing this training, Sigmetrix provides implementation and process-improvement services that help organizations redesign legacy workflows, establish best practices, and drive user adoption across the enterprise.
By combining variation management technology with practical guidance on implementation, change management, and engineering standards, Sigmetrix provides a clear roadmap for MBD enablement. Its ability to help organizations establish a variation-management-enabled digital thread while building the organizational capabilities necessary to sustain it makes Sigmetrix a valuable partner for companies at any stage of MBD maturity.
Given its proven track record of supporting both the technical and human aspects of transformation through software, consulting, implementation services, and GD&T training, Sigmetrix should be strongly considered by organizations seeking to optimize their variation management strategy and accelerate their transition to a Model-Based Enterprise.
CETOL 6σ: Predicting and Preventing Variation Before Production
For automotive engineering teams, dimensional variation can have a significant impact on fit, finish, performance, and customer satisfaction. CETOL 6σ helps manufacturers analyze and predict the effects of variation throughout product development, allowing engineers to identify and mitigate potential assembly and tolerance issues before physical prototypes are built.
Applied to automotive systems, CETOL 6σ can be used to evaluate body panel alignment, battery pack assemblies, chassis components, powertrain interfaces, and other critical vehicle subsystems. By understanding how manufacturing variation affects final assembly performance, teams can optimize tolerances, reduce costly redesigns, and improve overall product quality.
VariSight: Bringing PLM to Variation Analysis
As automotive companies embrace Model-Based Definition (MBD) and digital engineering initiatives, the need for efficient tolerance analysis within a model-based workflow becomes increasingly important. VariSight provides intuitive access to your tolerance analysis models and results enabling engineers to evaluate assembly performance and collaborate on important design decisions.
For automotive applications, VariSight helps teams assess dimensional relationships within vehicle structures, seating systems, interior components, electric vehicle platforms, and countless other assemblies. The software enables faster decision-making by providing immediate insight into how design changes affect manufacturing outcomes and assembly quality, while making product variation data more accessible across the organization.
The American Automotive Summit offers an ideal setting for automotive leaders to explore emerging technologies, exchange best practices, and build valuable industry connections. Sigmetrix looks forward to meeting with attendees and demonstrating how CETOL 6σ and VariSight help manufacturers achieve higher quality products, faster development cycles, and greater confidence in their engineering decisions.
