Abstract

Advanced software packages are enabling huge efficiency gains for manufacturing enterprises by leveraging the QIF standard. Learn about the time saving tools available today including:

Objectively communicating design intent downstream
Automatically creating & executing measurement programs
Maintaining traceability throughout the product life-cycle
Enabling root-cause analysis

In the future, even more efficiency will be gained as the QIF standard and its users continue to evolve. We will cover how we see the future of QIF increasing transparency and productivity in both metrology and manufacturing in general.
