Trazability Along Whole Product Cycle Life

2. Transfer the trazability configuration (along with CAD models) to manufacturers.

1. Making the trazability configuration (what to trace), whilemaking CAD designs.

3. TRACE. generate trace data (while manufacturing)

4. Transfer new trace data back to designers.

5. Handling incoming trace data: store, view, audit…

1. Configuration While Design

2. Manufacturing

3. Trace Data Visualization on CAD

• Tools: Main Features

1. Trace Configuration for CAD entities.

Setting trace Configuration forParts and Assemblies ,,, (click the menu for viewing theresult)

Selected Parts are refelected in Both theProduct Tree & the ModelView

Part trace configurationoptions, based on XML Schema file can be modified through the tab’soptions.

The Manufacturer must retun specific Item or Cheep Trace Data Info, requiring different barcode formats.

Raw Material Data Information must be included by the manufacturer, again this information is refeclectedon barcode - references, caducity dates, conditions of use -

Specific Machine Information must be included by the manufacturer, -tools, process historic, process setup .. – integrating this Information into barcode fields.

Xtrace PlugIn implements thetrace funcionality intoSolidWorks. adding new onesfor machine operations.

Configuration of Trace in a Fillet Operation.

• Tools: Main Features

1. Trace Configuration for CAD entities.

2. Hide/Show CAD Entities depending on trace configuration state.

Product tree Showsupdated trace state info.

Hiding non traced entities… (click the menu to show the Resutt)

Non traced elements are hidden.(clikhere to see how to hide tracedentities)

With this menu option checked, only untraced parts are visible.

1. Trace Configuration for CAD entities.

2. Hide/Show CAD Entities depending on trace configuration state.

3. Display Traced Data.

• Tools: Main Features

Loading Returned Trace Data Information. Multiple Itemscan be traced, based on thesame trace configuration.

Viewing returned trace data…

(Click the menu)

Raw XML file style is alsoavaliable for viewing the data info.

(click the button for anexample)

Data Info is a rich set of Part trace information. (click for an example)

Trace Data Info is physicalimplemented on Product BarCodes.

• Future Development ?

1. Trace Configuration for machine Operations(Integration with AP 238)

2. Trazability information model in STEP?
