Q-Checker

The world’s leading system for quality assurance in virtual product development

A management system for Product Data Quality (PDQ), Q-Checker is the world’s leading system for quality assurance in virtual development.

When operated already from the early beginning in the design process, Q-checker will support and enhance cross-engineering as well as model reuse. The key to a successful implementation is the integration and adaptation to companies’ PLM processes.

The product allows statistical assessments to establish a continuous improvement process for PDQ. In CATIA, methodology checks cover the new important area of model integrity, besides geometry and standard criteria

Q-Checker Key Features

Save Time Spent Fixing Models

With Q-Checker, critical defects can be identified and repaired before faulty features lead to additional geometric problems

Pro-Active Learning

Q-Checker can assist by identifying common design process mistakes and inefficient practices. Similar to supporting each designer with the experience and advice of an expert user

Promotes Design Reuse

Q-Checker can assist by identifying common design process mistakes and inefficient practices. Similar to supporting each designer with the experience and advice of an expert user

Enforcing Internal CATIA Standards

Q-Checker helps to ensure that corporate design standards and specifications for using CATIA are adhered to, allowing the design and production teams to become more productive, efficient, thereby supporting higher product quality

Supplier Confidence

OEMs working with Q-Checker have the confidence that they are sending their suppliers good quality data. At the same time, they can insist that their suppliers use a specific checking profile. Suppliers who use Q-Checker can assure their customers and partners that they are delivering accurate models that are based on a consistent standard of modelling practices

Check Files Transferred from Other CAD Software

CATIA users frequently need to use multiple CAD systems and data, a practice that can lead to problems with data translation. This usually calls for significant reworking and redesigning. Q-Checker helps to catch errors and adjust standards quickly and effectively, allowing for speedy recovery

Check Seal

Q-Checker allows users to store the model results in a check seal. This provides still greater security and helps to save time since the receiving part does not have to be rechecked against the specified Profile

Designer Awareness

Q-Checker anticipates and captures requirements of all downstream applications, even where they may not be evident to the designer. When operated already from the early beginning in the design process, Q-Checker will support and enhance cross-engineering as well as model reuse. The key to a successful implementation is the integration and adaptation to companies PLM processes
