Product verification and defect tracking is always a challenge faced by many fast paced production environments. A failure to identify a defect in time leads to a production loss. It is particularly difficult to identify the defects when the object being manufactured is small and very tiny. SpESNal customized tools are required to pass/fail an object or an entire lot in question, ideally in real-time. This software was designed and developed to suit the particular real-time measurement and visualization needs of a Fortune 100 company and to help speed up the production verification process.

Usage tests demonstrated that with the help of this software, a production technician could visualize, measure and pass the test for a component in under "five minutes". Whereas, the conventional methods used to take anywhere upto two weeks of destructive, non-repeatable testing before concluding similar results. So, clearly this software would save the company a great deal of time and also allow better resource utilization.

The software is designed entirely to be Object Oriented mainly using Rumbaughís OMT method. Besides, multi-threading with meticulous synchronization is used to yield real-time measurements possible with enhanced speed. Since the targeted user group mainly comprises production technicians, a mandated requirement of 3D visualization of the model in measurement is built and displayed in real-time using Open Inventor 3D APIs.

This three-dimensional visualization of the model helps the user to quickly identify problem areas, even before going through all the crunched numbers. Moreover, dynamic geometrical parameter computations (of angle and concentricity) are supported to give the user the freedom to compute values at any defined three-dimensional space of the object.

The entire Math software is packaged in a DLL and separated from the Main application for future flexibility. The main application is designed to be OLE compliant and uses MFC and WIN32 APIs to provide a link between the Core software and the User Interface. The user Interface is designed to be easy to use and follows standard Windows GUI development guidelines. The entire project is developed in C++, using Microsoft's Visual C++ as the base development platform under Windows NT.

Another area where this software is finding use is in the experiments involving gauge studies, specification verification and other research/study oriented measurements during design for correctness and expected behavior.
