The importance of multisensor coordinate metrology is becoming increasingly prominent, particularly with the advancement of smart manufacturing and digital quality control. It can be stated that multisensor coordinate metrology represents a modern extension of conventional coordinate metrology, whose foundation lies in the coordinate measuring machine (CMM). This approach integrates the measuring machine, optical sensors, and computed tomography, thereby enabling enhanced capabilities for performing a wide range of metrological tasks and operations. This paper presents the current state of research in multisensor measurement technologies, with the aim of fostering further advancements in the field. The justification for applying these technologies is well-established, however, several challenges remain regarding their practical implementation, especially in the integration and coordination of different measurement methods for specific tasks or groups of operations. Special attention is given to the characteristics of a measuring machine based on parallel kinematics, in order to assess its potential for upgrade with optical sensors and integration into a multisensor touch-optical system. The results of this study confirm the validity and benefits of such a system, particularly in terms of high measurement speed, excellent repeatability, resistance to temperature variations, flexibility, and reprogrammability. However, certain limitations have been identified, primarily related to lower absolute accuracy and reduced mechanical rigidity resulting from the use of a parallel mechanism
