These include the generation of prototype test reports with integrated input fields for the manual entry of measured values. This software enables companies to integrate all measured data into the report and into the statistics—even data from measuring machines without a database interface. This additional feature simplifies the entire quality assessment process.
Furthermore, a sectional view feature has been added to PiWeb 3.6. It enables users to generate and display cross sections from the CAD models. “We placed a lot of emphasis on usability,” stated Andreas Lotze, Member of the Management Board at the Carl Zeiss Innovationszentrum für Messtechnik GmbH. “From the beginning, our intention was to develop useable products and optimize the interaction between man and machine.” The current version of the software also includes the Real-time Analysis Server module. It allows the operator to monitor and evaluate process data in real time. The process is thus more controlled and exact, and reaction times are reduced considerably. Automatic warnings when tolerances are exceeded and corrective measures and process controls can thus be implemented more easily.
