[Je...] Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 - - - - - - - - A few individuals within our company are vying for all measurement data to be automatically output to a third-party software called Unipoint Inspection Manager. This includes any machine that outputs test data, including CMM. I have few concerns about this, but that is another matter. Which reporting software(s) do you use to store CMM measurement results? Feel free to add specifics in the comments section. Thanks! Jeff Frodermann Windings, Inc.

[Ja...] Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 We use a slightly modified version of the typical Calypso PDF printout to solve issues locally. However, all data is uploaded to Infinity QS each Friday for "corporate use."

[Da...] Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Jeff, thank you for this. I guess Q-DAS is supposed to fit into third-party, right? Israel, I'm just curious, do you use Microsoft SQL or something open source?

[Is...] Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Please sign in to view this quote. Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (this is what my company has available). Works good even overseas, the zmp, PDF and text files are also saved there.. For the database administration and manipulation I’m using HeidiSQL is free and portable. For the interfaces im using SharpDevelp 4.4, also free and portable.

[Ri...] Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 If you run Calypso, nothing competes with PiWeb. The ease of storing custom header information as well as storing form plot data is unrivaled. GearPro is now in that same camp.

[Ri...] Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Please sign in to view this quote. 2000 unique header characteristics? Huh? And I said ease of use, as well as storing form plot data. Most people aren't knowledgeable enough to even attempt what you have done. I doubt this was something that was put together in less than a week.

This is the only thing I miss from Piweb enterprise, we have to recalculate the ZMP files to use a different form plot template or manipulate magnifications.. Please sign in to view this quote. is variable in average 150 / program, the problem is that are different and of course many of them are common.. we found a way to upload attributes without the need to declare them in the database structure..

[Ro...] Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 We output TXT files which is picked up by WinSPC. We can dump in results from Calypso and PCDmis.

[Cl...] Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 This is typical. This copy is given to the operator to make adjustments. Really the only other reporting we do that the customer see's are FAI's. That data is just transposed from the report you see here to a First article form that travels with the parts.

[To...] Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I can remember a time when PiWeb was in it's infancy (pre-template days), we were doing a run-off using QC-Calc. I had a 42" monitor on the wall showing all of the green, yellow and red data plots. It was beautiful, so I thought...lol Just so happens, the President of Zeiss US and the Eastern Sales Manager were visiting us to discuss Zeiss dealer business and take a look at our facilities. When they came into the Zeiss room, the President walked over to the large monitor and stood right in front of it. He scanned over all of the plots and then turned back towards everyone in the room and in said "Why aren't we using PiWeb?" (picture Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator voice) I felt 2" or 50mm tall. PiWeb has come a long way since then. We no longer speak about QC-Calc....

[Je...] Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 Thanks for that story, Tom. It made me smile. Zeiss is an outstanding company, but there is definitely room for Zeiss to become more customer-centric. They behave much like Apple Inc. in that they want to be a one-stop solution, but they don't play well with others. It is unrealistic for Zeiss to expect all users of Zeiss products to standardize their data using PiWeb. If they did, at a bare minimum PiWeb Monitor should be provided for free.

[Ri...] Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I believe that since 2018 all version of Calypso, and other software, come with a free version of PiWeb Reporting Plus which can store up to 1,000 measurement runs per measurement plan. This gives you a data management tool (like Planner), Designer, and Monitor.

[Je...] Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 That's true, Richard, but it does not give others in my organization access to PiWeb monitor Similar competing software offer a viewer app for free, without a license, so that the data and dynamic reports (even a manipulatable CAD window) are available to all stakeholders, not just the CMM programmer. I would like to see Zeiss offer something similar if they structure PiWeb as a true data-standardization solution. Jeff Frodermann Windings, Inc.

[Ri...] Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Can you tell me which software allows any one to view data without some sort of license?

[Je...] Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 Richard, At my last job, we used InnovMetric Polyworks. Although I wasn't a huge fan of this software, they did allow us to install unlimited viewer apps. I guess we were required to have a license for the base application on the measuring machine's computer. Jeff Frodermann Windings, Inc.
