1factory evaluation checks, for every candidate
- Implementation evidence: Ask the vendor to estimate configuration, drawing and master-data preparation, equipment-file mapping, interfaces, validation and user acceptance separately. The reviewed official pages do not establish one standard rollout duration. Source
- Drawing and revision traceability: Use a revised part drawing. Reconcile characteristics, tolerances and inspection-plan versions, then retrieve the evidence for the prior revision. Source
- Equipment data integrity: Bring representative CMM files. Verify feature mapping, units, repeat measurements and error handling; distinguish selecting a file from automatic upload. Source
- SPC to a controlled response: Test a signal against the chosen chart and sampling assumptions. Show who investigates it and how disposition or corrective action is recorded. Source
- ERP exchange and reconciliation: Demonstrate a part, revision and order entering the system and an inspection result returning. Agree ownership of rejected messages and mismatched quantities. Source
- Licences and deployment scope: Map each role and interface to the quote. Request the environment, acceptance criteria and any validation evidence required for your intended use. Source
