Integrate specifications

Requirements, for example in the form of technical drawings, contain specifications such as mea-sures or attributive characteristics which play an important role in manufacturing processes as well as initial sample inspection reports, FMEAs, in¬spections plans, goods received and dispatched inspections and complaints.

Requirements and products linked

The iqs Quality Center manages all versions of requirements e.g. from inspection specifications, legal guidelines, packaging regulations, 2D drawings and accompanying 3D models so that the latest current documents are always linked to the part key data. As this is centrally managed it is possible to access the current documents, drawings and characteristic application from each iqs module.

Automatic characteristic generation

The iqs Requirements Management (AM) imports the specifications from all common CAD formats and pdf files into the CAQ system. The centrally defined requirements are available in all modules and can be transferred and expanded as necessary needed for example when creating a FMEA for a characteristic.

Importing scanned documents

Through supporting optical character recognition OCR, characteristics and their specifications can be transferred from scanned documents (.tif, .pdf).

Change management

All requirements are documented and clearly visualized – changes between different versions can be tracked. This permits a characteristic history to be generated – for each characteristic all processes and results can be displayed at the press of a button.

• Convenient management of requirements
• Access to all documents and their specifications from all iqs modules for example: FMEA, inspection plan and control plan, complaints management and data capture
• Active change management – changes to requirements clearly visualized
• Characteristic history available at the press of a button
• Document authenticity guaranteed through import of picture and data formats

• Automatic drawing import from CAD data, with set points and tolerances, independent from the system used to create it
• Import of scanned documents (.tif, .pdf) through support via OCR
• Import and processing of 2D and 3D pdf files
• Output of tables in drawings
• Stored 3D model for improved visualization and simpler communication between customer and supplier
• Grouping of characteristics in construction elements via UDF (User Defined Feature)
