The Challenge
Counterintuitively, the OmniGap was developed after the WiseGap system from Inora. Prospective customers who didn’t need the full, comprehensive, multi-sensor capabilities that the WiseGap offers requested a single sensor solution for quick spot-check measurements with minimal setup time.
Of course, just like WiseGap, the solution needed to be provide advantages over clumsy manual methods such as feeler gauges, friction blocks or even clay/calipers.
OmniGap was created using the same OI Core Technology for calibration of its sensor for numerically certain results. The same proven sensor hardware from WiseGap was utilized as well but paired with a durable, minimalistic handheld unit with a digital display.
This provides an easier point of entry that still allows customers to level up their gap measurement capabilities and in many cases move from handwritten reporting to digital data capture.
An extra adapter was also later added for the OmniGap that allows users to measure even tighter gaps with one sensor placement. Historically, these gaps had to be iteratively measured and approximated using feeler gauges, saving time and improving measurement accuracy.

Customer Success Stories
Quick Infrequent Spot Check Gap Measurements By Automotive Tier Supplier
An automotive tier supplier would receive a partial vehicle body every time one of their OEM customers launched a new car.
While an OEM challenged the quality of the tier supplier’s components, the supplier felt confident their parts were within tolerance but had no way to objectively prove this.
After implementing OmniGap, the tier supplier was able to quickly measure all closures (e.g. doors, liftgate) to tell the OEM that the sample vehicle bodies they received were out of specification. This gave an objective way to show that the dimensional issue was from the vehicle bodies and not coming from the tier supplier’s parts. Ultimately this saved the tier supplier unnecessary scrap and/or concessions.
