We are again starting a New Year so we start thinking about where we want to make changes in our lives. Reading various New Year’s Resolutions online made me think about the ways that InspectionXpert helps people make changes to improve areas in their own lives. I decided to have a little bit of fun by writing up some InspectionXpert New Year’s Resolutions. Enjoy…

InspectionXpert was featured in the October 2011 issue of Design2Part magazine. The article entitled "Automated Inspection Software Reported to Save Time and Money" features our InspectionXpert OnDemand product and integration with Net-Inspect.

This month's issue of Modern Machine Shop includes a writeup on Arnprior Rapid Manufacturing Solution's use of InspectionXpert to automate the creation of first article inspection reports. Arnprior is one of the largest ‘all under one roof’ manufacturing solution centers in the Northeastern United States and serves a diverse range of industries including aerospace, medical, automotive and consumer products. With InspectionXpert for PDF, Arnprior has eliminated over half the time they spend creating first article inspection reports (FAIRs) and helped them standardize processes while reducing the risk of errors.

This month's issue of Quality Magazine features an article on one of our customers, PBC Linear's use of InspectionXpert for SolidWorks software. The linear motion manufactufacturer was able to automate its inspection process using InspectionXpert, which not only removed the chance of human error and increased productivity but also speeed up the process significantly. As a bonus, the company's inspection sheets are all now AS 9100-compliant, a huge benefit since the company is in the process of obtaining AS 9100 certification. 

Extensible CAD Technologies is now offering German versions of its CAD-integrated InspectionXpert software packages. These include versions that support SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Creo (formerly Pro/ENGINEER), NX, CATIA, and AutoCAD. German versions of both InspectionXpert OnDemand and InspectionXpert for PDF will be available within a month. 

MeasurementXpert for both InspectionXpert for PDF and InspectionXpert OnDemand has been released. 

The MeasurementXpert enables users to enter their actual measurements against the expected values that InspectionXpert extracts from their drawing.  Dimensions are shaded in red or green—both on the drawing and in the measurements table—to show if they are in or out of tolerance.
