Inspection planning workflow

1. PMI annotations are authored in NX.

2. PMI objects are either:

   Captured and ballooned using BCT Inspector Suite software, then exported from BCT Inspector Suite in XML format for use in Teamcenter.

Or exported from NX in JT format using JT Open Toolkit.

3. PMI objects are imported into Teamcenter. Objects appear as lines when you open them in the PMI Manager view.

4. You assign PMI objects to operations by copying from the PMI Manager view and pasting to a process view so that they become inspection points.

Tip You can add additional inspection points in Teamcenter by creating Data Collection Definitions (DCDs). You can also edit process-specific attributes for PMI objects or DCDs, and remove any unwanted PMI objects or DCDs.

5. Finally, you release the structures to your MES system.

6. The operator can now execute work instructions and retrieve the required data collection values.
