Tecnomatix solutions for Automotive Quality applications improve your enterprise competitiveness by:

• Improving quality of the process and products
• Implementing, monitoring and improving Six Sigma programs
• Reducing variability in the assembly process
• Implementing and transferring best practices and standardizing quality
• Identifying causes of scraps and reworking
• Communicating quality information across the extended enterprise
• Ensuring manufacturing processes conform to design intent

Analyze Complex Assemblies

Tecnomatix solutions for Automotive Quality applications allow you to perform 3D tolerance stack-up analysis on complex assemblies, considering the combined effect of tolerances and assembly methods. The system allows defining 3D features and tolerances within the CAD system and to check that these tolerances conform to international standards such as ISO, ANSI/ASME.

Quality on the Shop Floor

Tecnomatix for Automotive Quality applications are completely embedded in the CAD master model, enabling off-line creation, optimization and verification of inspection programs for CMM and NC machines. A unique feature is the ability to drive NC machine tools from a DMIS program.

The system enables you to carry out a consistent, accurate analysis that compares inspected data from any standard measurement machine with specified design tolerances and the CAD model.

Web-based tools allow access to inspection data, work instructions, programs and analysis from a central repository system throughout the extended enterprise. The applications allow users in any plant to execute CMM and NC inspection programs, analyze inspection data, verify the production process and analyze shop-floor data.

Quality while production's running

Tecnomatix solutions for Automotive Quality applications provide easy and fast access to quality dimensional data. A unique and powerful analysis tool enables you to carry out a consistent, accurate analysis of discrepancies from any common inspection device. It quickly distinguishes between the "designed" model and the "built" model. Causes of "out-of-tolerance" can be evaluated and promptly used for a reworking using correct positioning of the part. Process Monitoring applications are either CAD-embedded or Web-based.
