The DISCUS family of products is specifically designed to enable you to organise the technical data package or packages (TDP or TDPs) and capture the characteristic accountability of a part much more efficiently for the setup of the FAI process.
The DISCUS solution features a panel for analysing and extracting characteristics from the drawing or model, as well as from the specifications. DISCUS then generates the list of part-specific characteristics and creates associated ballooned drawings. Allowing you to consolidate and organise all your information, saving you time and money.
Reduces the time it takes to produce a First Article Inspection (AS9102, PPAP, Part 820) and ballooned drawing by up to 90% when compared to traditional, manual methods.
Reduces data entry labour and errors with automatic recognition of notes, dimensions and annotations from drawings, whilst consolidating all requirements into an accountability check list.
Import measurement information from any CMM or measurement device. Reducing manual data entry associated with reading CMM reports and entering onto a formal FAI report.
