One major automotive OEM was considering the move from touch-point sampling of parts to in-line scanning of each part. Their approach was thoughtful and calculated in that they realized that a means to do valid comparisons of point-cloud data from both approaches had problems numerically. Consequently, by engaging Inora Technologies and the ASYS product, numerical purity proved to provide what they were looking for:
- Traditional analysis methods that use selected reference points for comparison of measured parts to engineering intent data are subject to significant error and bias,
- Manufacturing and Metrology teams struggled to find any common basis for valid comparisons even after months of effort — Inora ASYS works on a touch of a button basis,
- Inora ASYS was engaged to assess 10 data sets from a CMM machine and 10 data sets from Laser Radar,
- Exact magnitude and direction of method variation was calculated and delivered,
- Decision for move to in-line measurement achieved through numerically validated approach with great confidence.
