PC-DMIS Feature Spotlight – Protect

Protect - Peace of mind through measurement routine protection, control and traceability.

Measurement routines are valuable data files; and it is important that any changes are controlled and tracked in order to ensure repeatable reliable #metrology operations and therefore consistently high quality products. This is important in all processes, and in some industries – such as medical, food and aerospace – the need for tight process control and accreditation is paramount.

Protect is a cost option feature for PC-DMIS that means once a #measurement routine is approved, the file is ‘certified’. Once it is certified, only specific PC-DMIS account holders can make changes, and any changes are recorded, logged and can be traced back to a user and time for any future audit.

This added level of control and protection can help manufactures work towards process compliance, and may support customers in their accreditations or certifications according to specific standards such as:
• FDA (Food and Drug Administration CFR 21 Part 11)
• ISO 13845 for medical and health sector
• IATF 16949 (Clause 8.5.2 Identification and Traceability) for automotive industry
• Specific Federal Aviation Administration traceability requirements for aeronautics or any other specific traceability requirements
