CIMer Inspection / Quality Management
CIMer Inspection integrates quality and product data, optimizing your inspection processes to reduce costs and accelerate time to market. It develops internal quality control plans to achieve both external and internal benefits. CIMer Inspection is a mature and optimized process. Inspection forms, Excel QA, and paper records are all integrated into a single platform, directly linking quality to product data.
Traditional Inspection vs. CIMer Inspection
The core lies in the evolution from "manual annotation" to "automated data extraction".
| Traditional Inspection | CIMer Inspection |
|---|---|
| Manual labeling (Ballooning): Engineers need to manually draw serial numbers (bubble charts) on PDF or paper drawings, which is time-consuming and prone to omissions. | Automated value extraction: Directly extract dimensions and features from CAD models (such as Solid Edge, Creo) to automatically generate bubble charts and lists. |
| Manual data transcription: Dimensions and tolerances are manually entered into an Excel inspection sheet, resulting in a high rate of human error. | Digital integration: Inspection items are closely integrated with PDM versions to ensure that inspection data always corresponds to the latest version of the drawings. |
| Information silos: Quality control reports are disconnected from original CAD models and PDM versions, making it difficult to update them synchronously when changes occur. | One-click report generation: Automatically generates FAI (First Article Inspection) or ISIR reports, significantly reducing quality control preparation time. |
CIMer Inspection software enables quality inspection, quality control, and manufacturing personnel to produce higher-quality products while easily creating accurate inspection documentation, industry-standard reports, and first-article inspection checklists. By completing these tasks in less time, companies can achieve significant cost savings, faster time-to-market, and improved product quality.
1
FAI First Article Inspection Management
New drawing release, automatic FAI creation, dimension verification, approval, and mass production. This avoids direct mass production without verification and using the wrong drawing version.
2
Trial calculation sheets and engineering drawings with manually labeled part numbers
The QA team creates part numbered engineering drawings based on the original engineering drawings from the design engineers. These part numbered engineering drawings allow inspectors to more easily view joint details and other areas requiring attention.
3
Automatically create and check related files
CIMer Inspection is a software for First Article Inspection (FAI) and In-Process Inspection. It can smoothly and automatically create inspection drawings and inspection reports (AS9102, PPAP, etc.) with all part numbers labeled.

Inspection and testing play a crucial role in improving quality.
Part of the reason for the inspection process is to establish relevant documentation and perform statistical process control (SPC) analysis to identify the key attributes of the products to be inspected, and also to serve as evidence for the inspection.
5
Integration of CAD and Inspection for Drawing and Inspection
The automated ballooning system directly identifies dimensions, tolerances, and technical requirements from CAD drawings and automatically generates serial numbers (bubble charts), avoiding manual omissions.
6
First Article Inspection Process
First article inspection (FAIR) is another inspection application in product development. FAIR reports often need to meet industry standard requirements, such as AS9102 (aerospace industry) or PPAP (automotive industry).
CIMer Inspection Core Values
Inspection is a common step in quality assurance and quality control processes throughout the manufacturing process. Quality inspections provide data and manufacturing intelligence that indicates how production processes are executed and allows for in-depth analysis of how better designs can achieve higher quality with less waste. Observations can be made on quality control data to gain relevant insights for process improvement throughout the production lifecycle.

Checklist and Report Results
Empowering CIMer Inspection's First Article Inspection Applications
CIMer Inspection software virtually eliminates the need for users to manually create part number drawings, saving significant time as checklists are pre-filled with dimensions and tolerances. Part number drawings and checklists can be created in minutes (instead of hours), saving users up to 90% of the time compared to manual methods. It automatically generates checklists and reports, greatly reducing data conversion errors and inconsistencies.
