Inspection system and method of making and using same
First Claim
1. An inspection system for performing positive material identification of components of a multi-feature system, the inspection system comprising:
- an electronic drawing having tagged locations identifying respective features of the multi-feature system to be read for retro positive material identification analysis, the electronic drawing having at least one unique identification code for each tagged location;
a positive material identification database having a component information records for respective components, each component information record correlated to a component associated with one tagged location of the electronic drawing;
a field load sheet having identification codes for respective tagged locations, the identification codes of the field load sheet correlated to the component information records of the positive material identification database; and
a data logger receiving identification codes for respective tagged locations from the field load sheet, and also collecting material composition analysis data, the data logger communicating the identification codes and the collected material composition analysis data to the positive material identification database for populating the component information records of the positive material identification database with the material composition analysis data.

Abstract
An inspection system adapted to perform retro positive material identification of components of a multi-feature system. The inspection system comprises an electronic drawing, a positive material identification database, a field load sheet and a data logger. The electronic drawing has tagged locations identifying respective features of the multi-feature system to be read for retro positive material identification analysis. The electronic drawing has at least one unique identification code for each tagged location. The positive material identification database has component information records for respective components. Each component information record correlated to a component associated with one tagged location of the electronic drawing. The field load sheet has identification codes for respective tagged locations. The identification codes of the field load sheet are correlated to the component information records of the positive material identification database. The data logger receives identification codes for respective tagged locations from the field load sheet, and also collects material composition analysis data. The data logger communicates the identification codes and the collected material composition analysis data to the positive material identification database for populating the component information records of the positive material identification database with the material composition analysis data.

3. A method for preparing an inspector to inspect components of a multi- feature system, the method comprising the steps of:
-
tagging locations in an electronic drawing with each tagged location identifying one or more components of the multi-feature system to be read;
producing a field load sheet having at least one identification code for each tagged location, the identification codes of the field load sheet being correlated to unique identification codes of component information records of a PMI database; and
providing the inspector with the field load sheet and a representation of the electronic drawing.

4. A method for collecting inspection data, comprising the steps of:
-
a. receiving an identification code for a tagged location of an electronic drawing with the tagged location identifying one or more components of a multi-feature system to be read for PMI analysis;
b. collecting material composition analysis data of at least one component identified by each tagged location;
c. storing the unique identification code with the collected material composition analysis data; and
d. communicating the identification code and the collected material composition analysis data to a data server for populating at least one component information record of a PMI database with the material composition analysis data. - View Dependent Claims (5)
