OEM to Supplier: a QIF Case Study

Passing 3D model data without a drawing from an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to a supplier generally creates interoperability chaos. How do you streamline this process while maintaining the Digital Thread?

Join Ryan Gelotte, CTO of Action Engineering in this free webinar hosted by DCS on June 27, 2019. Ryan will be the guest presenter and will help you make sense of this interoperability chaos and bring order to this juggling act!

The Quality Information Framework (QIF) standard was used to facilitate a Model-Based Definition (MBD) pilot at a Tier 1 Manufacturer. The pilot specifically addressed the 3D data interoperability gap that exists when 3D data is passed from an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to a supplier. QIF v3.0 is an American National Standard that provides a common interface for digital interoperability that maintains the digital thread (3D data traceability) and enables closed loop feedback throughout product manufacturing. For example, it captures measurement results in the product model adjacent to the design requirement (i.e., tolerance) …
