Inspection Manager implements best manufacturing quality practices across all your operations and helps you envision opportunities for product and process improvements. Get rid of all the paper, manual processes and confusion.  An automated and optimized quality process makes you more efficient, productive and successful.

The MBD module for Inspection Manager makes it simple to incorporate 3D models in your quality process.

• Intelligently extract, modify, and manage GD&T and PMI from native 3D MBD models
• Gain understanding and clarity of 3D model PMI and annotated data
• Streamline and automate quality processes from ballooning to planning to final reports

GD&T and PMI data is automatically extracted and ballooned on the model when a file is opened. Annotations are automatically cleaned based on usefulness and can be visible, non-selectable, or hidden. Dimensions can be toggled to different states as needed. Drag and drop technology re-locates PMI data into essential views directly on the MBD model to correctly drive quality processes.

After the 3D model is ballooned and modified, all views are converted to a usable 2D drawings for quality processes. The 3D model can also be converted to a STEP file to support other manufacturing processes or to a 3D PDF for visualization.

3D models from all major CAD systems are supported.

Integrated Acceptance Quality Limit (AQL) based sample planning enables repeatability, scalability, and consistency by providing a more efficient workflow with data and plans in one centralized database.

Set up a sampling plan once and use it across multiple jobs, lots, and orders. Plan modifications are simply made with just a few clicks and are immediately visible. Inspection Manager sample planning is based on MIL-STD-105 and Z1.4 AQL standards and supports many other common AQL tables.

Reduce your inspection work by grouping dimensions according to cutting tool. Critical dimensions and other dimensions in the group affected by the same cutting tool are color-coded on the print for easy identification. When the critical dimension passes inspection, the remaining members of the group are marked as passed.

Manufacturing Key Sets integrates with AQL Based Sample Planning and the centralized database system to maintain the integrity of the GD&T and inspection results data with full, automated traceability to the source.

Tool & Gage management is a critical element enabling trusted inspection results either within your facility or from an outside supplier. It allows automated inspection tool category assignments based on the feature recognition from the 2D drawings.

Management and tracking of inventories, storage locations, and most current users reduces wasteful time spent searching for tools and reports. All information is readily available in one centralized database in one manufacturing quality management software.

You can quickly identify a detailed usage history for each tool or gage and can filter usage by part, job, inspector, and date range to prevent inspection results from out of calibration tools.

Bluetooth, wireless, and wired inspection tools are supported seamlessly and do not require any external hardware or communication protocols.

Scheduled calibration time alerts are sent well in advance so that important calibration duties are always maintained.

High QA Inspection Manager provides the framework to establish a common set of standards and language for the manufacturing and quality departments to communicate effectively. The common language reduces downstream interpretations that often contribute to user data entry errors. This feature also eliminates redundant efforts, minimizes material waste and ensures that accurate and trusted data is available. Real-time alerts enable appropriate corrective action to prevent unnecessary waste.

Users create individual in-process and final inspection plans as needed. Each plan is a unique PDF file with the specific information needed at that step.

With Inspection Manager, printed process documentation and reports are things of the past. The paperless manufacturing quality management software enables users, based on permissions, to read and enter inspection results with the click of a button on a tablet or PC. All inspection results are automatically stored in a convenient, accessible, centralized database. Many organizations that still rely on paper documentation can enter process information into forms. They are stored automatically as Excel\CSV files automatically to the database and can be printed as needed.

An integrated statistical process control (SPC) package is an integral module of Inspection Manager. It enables statistical data collection for in-process and final part inspection routines. With minimal training, users can set up the statistical process in just a few clicks of the mouse.

Automatically collected data is entered directly to the central database where it can be organized into SPC results, charts, and reporting.

High QA Inspection Manager supports the AQL standard and presents dynamic table samplings accordingly.

High QA Inspection Manager’s comprehensive integrated report module automatically produces a variety of standard and custom reports using data from its centralized database. Report types include industry standard FAI, PPAP, SPC, NCR, and more, including company specific and custom-designed report templates. Inspection results collected from the shop floor, automatically or via manual entry, or from your supply chain partners, provide the source data used in these reports. The integrated Report Designer creates custom report forms and templates in minutes to meet internal or external reporting requirements.

Custom reports can include formulas, unique page layouts, and the ability to import your customers’ existing templates. Customers appreciate seeing their own branding on reports, especially with the first-rate results that High QA Inspection Manager provides.
