System and method for managing measurement work flow
First Claim
1. A system for managing measurement work flow, the system comprising:
- at least one drawing receiving apparatus for receiving design drawings of objects to be measured;
at least one measuring apparatus for measuring objects and generating measurement data on the objects; and
at least one managing computer comprising;
a measurement program managing module for querying, writing and storing measurement programs for objects;
a measurement assignment managing module for managing measurement tasks, and for assigning various measurement tasks to different measurement operators;
a report generating module for generating measurement reports on measured objects based on measurement data generated by the at least one measuring apparatus; and
a database comprising a measurement program list, a measurement assignment list, and a measurement report list.

Abstract
A system for managing measurement work flow includes a drawing receiving apparatus (30) for obtaining design drawings of objects to be measured, a measuring apparatus (50) for measuring objects and generating measurement data on measured objects, and a managing computer (40). The managing computer includes: a measurement program managing module (401) for querying, writing and storing measurement programs for objects; a measurement assignment managing module (402) for managing measuring tasks, and for assigning various measuring tasks to different measurement operators; a report generating module (403) for generating measurement reports on measured objects based on measurement data generated by the measuring apparatus; a quality control module (404) for checking generated measurement reports, and for modifying measurement programs if there are errors in the measurement reports; and a database (405) comprising a measurement program list (410), a measurement assignment list (420), and a measurement report list (430).

6. A method for managing measurement work flow, the method comprising the steps of:
-
(a) submitting a measurement application sheet to a managing computer;
(b) checking whether the measurement application sheet accords with an actual object to be measured;
(c) receiving drawings of the object if the measurement application sheet accords with the actual object, and numbering the object;
(d) determining whether there are suitable measurement programs for the object;
(e) measuring the object if there are suitable measurement programs, and generating measurement data on the object; and
(f) generating a measurement report on the object based on the measurement data. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8)

9. A method of managing measurement work flow, comprising steps of:
-
(1) assigning a qualified personal to measure a specific work piece waiting for being measured;
(2) selecting a proper measuring program for the specific work piece;
(3) executing said measurement program if said program exists, or designing and writing measurement program before executing if said program does not exist;
(4) gathering and examining measurement results;
(5) finalizing said measurement results if no errors are found in said results, or modifying the program and rerunning the program before finalizing said results if errors are found in the result; and
(6) delivering said finalized results.
