New tracking function and minor changes

· One min read

Measuring tools tracking​

We have had a tracking function in Measuring Tools since the beginning. It has now been refreshed and extended with a useful new feature: last used by tracking.

This improvement is aimed at customers who do not use ERP integrations with Inspect. Previously, tracking was limited to showing the last known resource location, which depended entirely on ERP data.

Explanations

1: Hover over the pin to view usage metadata.
2: Shows how many times the tool has been used. This value updates every 10 minutes, not instantly.
3: Location data is only available for customers with ERP integrations.
4: Displays the name of the last operator who used the tool (ℹ️ hover over the name to see the timestamp).

New frequency type and minor list changes

New frequency type​

We've introduced a new frequency type for Inspect Schemas: FirstAndLast.

frequency_type_FiLi

This option is simple to use – it requires documentation of only two sequences in a production series. Once the first and last measurements are documented, the dimension will turn green, and no further documentation is required for that dimension.

We recommend using this as intended: document only the first and last items in the series. However, since we don’t control the order of your production, the system accepts documentation of any two sequences, whether they’re first, last, or otherwise.

List order improvements​

We’ve also adjusted how rows are ordered in Schemas and Instances.

Previously, new rows were added at the bottom, requiring users to scroll or search to find the most recent additions.

Now, the newest rows appear at the top of the list, making them quicker and easier to access.

Importing Measuring Tool Calibrations

· One min read

Importing of measuring tool calibrations from external sources.​

import calibrations

With this feature, users can import calibration data from an external source to avoid manual input. Click the drop zone or drop a supported file onto it to start the process. Contact us to discuss supported file formats.

Import Description and Rules

· One min read

Description​

This feature allows import of suitably formatted calibration data from an external source to IGNOS.
To avoid errors and failed imports, the following rules apply:

  1. Deprecated tools are ignored
  2. Tools must exist in IGNOS for calibrations to be imported
  3. Tool serial numbers must match the one in IGNOS. As a special case, if multiple serial numbers for the same Tool Id are present in the calibration file, the one(s) that match IGNOS is used and the other(s) ignored
  4. Duplicate Tool Id are rejected
  5. Calibration date and next calibration date must be present
  6. Only calibrations that are newer than the most recent one already stored in IGNOS are imported

Import Results

Import results​

When the import has finished, the results are displayed.
First of all, an overview and a list of each tool with at least one calibration imported, and the most recent calibration imported for each tool.

results overview

Immediately after the imported calibrations, a list of import errors is shown. This list contains calibrations that should have been imported but have not due to:

  • Tool IDs not found
  • Mismatch between serial numbers
  • Duplicate tool IDs
  • Missing calibration date

results errors

Finally, a list of informational messages is available. This list is hidden by default; click on the section to display the list. This list contains calibrations that have not been imported since they:

  • are already known
  • relate to a tool ID which is registered with a different serial number in IGNOS
  • are older than the most recent calibration already known in IGNOS
