Is the inspection module paid?

Yes, it is part of the Quality plan. The same plan includes nonconformance, calibration, maintenance and the audit log, and it is added on top of the free Production Tracking plan.

Do I have to enter every dimension?

No. For a quick check, choosing the result and uploading the report is enough. For parts where you want to follow each characteristic, you enter the dimensions row by row.

Can I bring in the report from my CMM?

You upload the report as a file: PDF, Word, Excel, text or image. The values in it are not copied into dimension rows automatically; you enter rows by hand if you need them.

How do I track first article approval?

Choose first article as the inspection type and enter the report number. The process plan also records whether first article approval is required and whether it is done, shown as waiting or done in the plan's flow.

Will I be warned if a measuring tool is past its calibration?

Calibration is in the same plan. A tool that is overdue, or due within 30 days, raises an alert in the notification bell. The inspection record itself is not linked to a tool.

Does the part match the drawing? Keep the answer next to the work order

You send the part to inspection and the inspector measures it and enters the result. Every inspection record belongs to a work order; dimensions, reports and the result sit in one place. When a customer asks for the first article report, nobody digs through folders.

How it works

1
Send the part to inspection
Press Send to Inspection on the work order's page. The record opens with the work order, project and part filled in; you choose the type (first article, in-process, final, CMM, dimensional, visual), the operation and the quantity. Send it from a production entry and that entry is linked too.
2
Measure and enter the result
The inspector enters the inspection date, their name and the result (passed, failed, rework). They can also enter dimensions row by row; any row with a nominal and tolerance is checked as pass or fail on its own.
3
Attach the report
A CMM printout, an inspection sheet or a photo: PDF, Word, Excel and image files are uploaded to the record. If several parts were measured you add each report separately; files open inside the page.
4
Open a nonconformance on a fail
When the result is failed, an Open NCR button appears on the record. The nonconformance opens with the work order, project, part and quantity filled in.

The dimension rows of a failed in-process check: nominal, lower and upper tolerance, measured value. A row out of tolerance is marked in red.

What's included

Tied to the work order

Every inspection belongs to a work order and, if you like, an operation. You can always find what was measured at which step of which job.

Six inspection types

First article, in-process, final, CMM, dimensional and visual. A first article record also takes a report number.

Separate lower and upper tolerance

Each dimension row takes a nominal, a minus and a plus tolerance. A measured value outside the limits fails the row, and the page sums up how many dimensions passed and failed.

Multi-file reports

One inspection record can hold several reports, shown one after another inside the page. There is no need to download a file to open it.

Pending inspections

Records sent to inspection but not yet measured are counted at the top of the list. Filter by type and status, search by number, work order or part.

Record history

The activity tab shows in order who sent it, who measured it and when, and what the result was.
