Abstract
A computer implemented method has operations including receiving a 3D computer aided design (CAD) file that contains a 3D model of a product and product management information (PMI) data, at an enterprise resource planning (ERP) hardware system having an executing integrated inspection application, the PMI data including data describing a characteristic of the product and a tolerance value for the characteristic, converting the 3D CAD file into a neutral 3D file preserving the PMI data, parsing the PMI data via the executing integrated inspection application to obtain lower and upper values of the characteristic of the product as a function of the tolerance value, storing the neutral 3D file, linking the neutral 3D file to the part in the ERP system, creating an inspection plan including an inspection characteristic linked to the part, transferring the PMI data to the inspection characteristic, and providing a view of the inspection characteristic showing the lower and upper values.
