ATS Inspect 6.3 reduces the costs associated with scrap, rework and warranty claims by collecting, analyzing and reporting attribute and variable data in manufacturing processes.
ATS Applied Tech Systems LLC (Rochester Hills, MI, US) announced in August the release of version 6.3 of their ATS Inspect product quality inspection solution.
According to ATS, the software reduces the costs associated with scrap, rework and warranty claims by collecting, analyzing and reporting attribute and variable data in manufacturing processes. The new version offers:
- Fully interactive 3D CAD reports for a true representation of quality defects.
- The ability to cut up existing components into smaller components based on their location within a custom grid.
- Printable barcode labels linked to the operator’s profile, allowing for barcode scanner log in.
