How it works

Measure once. Know immediately.

Inspect

Readings graded as you type

Inspectors type readings into a sheet built from the drawing, on any device. Each characteristic shows Pass or Fail as it is entered, and a failed reading leads straight to Create issue.

  • Sheets generated from the drawing
  • Pass or Fail on every characteristic
  • A failed reading becomes an issue
From drawing to data

Inspection starts with the drawing.

Balloons become characteristics, characteristics become sheets, readings feed SPC, and anything out of spec becomes an issue.

Real-time SPC

Spot drift as readings come in

Keep entering readings as usual and every point is graded against frozen control limits. When a rule fires, an alert goes out so someone can act.

  • Every reading graded
  • Frozen control limits
  • An alert when a rule fires
