Using a tolerance table is quite handy when the same data is used across several workflows or when the data is rapidly changed or updated.
Use case: Part measurement
In this WF (workflow) example, the objective is to measure a certain part and to verify if it is in scope (or not), based on values taken from a tolerances table.
The WF process flow
- Operator selects a part from a list.
- Operator is requested measure part’s length, and to enter the measure value in a dedicated field.
- Next Plus automatically verifies whether the measurement is in scope (based on Min and Max values from the tolerances table.
- Next Plus directs the operator to the relevant step.
- Operator selects to end the WF or continue to the next part
