JobBuilder®

Features

JobBuilder® provides a "checklist" for CMM Programmers to package information and files for downstream inspection UI's such as InspectIt!. This is a very powerful application that provides the interface for the programmer to have full control over the entire inspection process for a shop-hardened rich experience for the CMM operator while handling downstream data consumers and meeting business requirements.  

JobBuilder® is a software application seamlessly integrated with UGS Tecnomatix eMPower Quality© eMProbeCAD© used by the CMM Programmer. JobBulder provides the interface to define and configure the inspection "Job". JobBuilder provides the templatable user interface to define and package information, populate and configure the  user interface used to run the inspection. JobBuilder® was built on a highly extensible architecture to handle virtually any downstream business rule or requirement.

JobBuilder® Features

Technology	.NET (fw1.1)
> Integrated within UG eMPower Quality(c) Once the inspection program is complete and exported via JED(c), the inspection programmer simply picks JobBuilder(c) from the eMPower Quality menu for a seamless integration.
> Automation of post-programming tasks Once the inspection program is done the work is not over. The Inspection Toolkit Suite provides the tools to allow programmers to add job specific information, such as work instructions, special notes, and input requirments from the CMM operators. Configuration is easy through the use of templates to minimize repetitive tasks. Automates packaging of associated files and information for the inspection job and downstream consumers and applications.
> Building inspection jobs are streamlined Streamlining is achieved through the use of JobBuilder templates. Jobs can be opened, and saved in any state, and templates can be created or loaded for specific uses. Working through a template is like having a checklist for the programmer to fill in the blanks.
> JobBuilder Modular Workflow JobBuilder was designed with the user in mind. Workflow is straight-forward which makes it easy to use. The user is presented with a list of requirements in a logical flow. Each item in the list represents a "module" which represents key areas in the flow. Some examples are File Manager, Job Info Manager, Release and Revision, Inspection Programs, Tolerance Manager, Inspection UI Requirements, DMLToollkit settings, and Report Configuration. For certain situations JobBuilder can be extended or customized for integration of other business processes.
> Provides fully configurable user input for InspectIt! Standardize on inspection requirements and operator inputs is always a good idea for large implementations, however there comes a time where an oddball job comes along which has additional requirements and may require additional information from the CMM operator. The JobBuilder  provides the means necessary to fully define the user interface for the inspection front-end and extend the standard environment for  job specific special situations. Whether it is additional user input, or specialized reporting the JobBuilder makes it all possible with minimal effort. It is a WYSIWG interface builder as UI requirements are specified InspectIt! is displayed and updated. No guessing if it will work on the shopfloor; it is what is on the shopfloor.
> Tolerance Manager Have you ever wanted to add additional information to tolerances without embedding it in the tolerance name, or for downstream traceability? How about adding information such as Characteristic Class, Blueprint SHT/Zone, tolerances that make sense to operators not GD&T experts, added descriptions, grouping of related tolerances, or categories, etc? JobBuilder makes it easy for the programmer via a friendly user interface. Create groups, define default sorting criteria and order for both default and custom tolerance attributes.
> Derived Tolerances® Derived Tolerances provide a method for programmers to create new tolerances based upon other tolerances in simple or complex formulas using the built-in Derived Tolerance calculator. Creating tolerance such as taper, or calculating area using multiple standard tolerances are greatly simplified and require no coding expertise to calculate or report them.
> Chart Manager Chart Manager provides the interface to set job specific chart settings for DMLToolkit. Define tolerance pass/fail/caution limits, bar chart colors, axis titles and direction. It is a WYSIWYG interface as an instance of DMLToolkit is embedded within chart manager. This means no guessing if it is going to work on the shop floor! It is what is on the shopfloor.
> ChartBuilder Chart Settings Show or Hide tolerances Sometimes it is useful to be able to hide tolerances in the final output. For example if a programmer creates a derived tolerance and does not wish to display output for its parent tolerances they may be hidden. Further, if in process tolerances are calculated but not needed in a final report they may be hidden, without loosing the valuable information and traceability in the .dml results.
> Full encapsulation of the Inspection Job All the aformentioned information , configuration, settings, derived tolerances, tolerance attributes, etc are stored within the "Inspection Job" created by the JobBuilder. The information is forever encapsulated with its revision record.
> Documentation, Tutorials  Documentation and self help tutorial will be provided.
