Auto Ballooning
Introduction
Auto Ballooning
Auto Ballooning software is a specialized tool designed to streamline and automate the process of creating and managing inspection balloons in technical documentation, particularly engineering drawings and manufacturing blueprints. These balloons, often used in quality control and inspection processes, are numbered annotations that correspond to specific parts, dimensions, or notes on a drawing.
The software significantly reduces the time and effort required to manually add and track these balloons, enhancing accuracy and efficiency in quality assurance workflows. IES will enable users to streamline and automate their documentation process with ease and efficiency.
Efficiency and Productivity
Time Efficiency
Automatically applies balloons to drawings, reducing manual effort and saving time.
Simplifies the preparation of inspection documents, expediting workflows.
Enhanced Productivity
Accelerates inspection processes and speeds up the production cycle.
Enables teams to focus on higher-value tasks like analysis and problem-solving.
Cost Savings
Prevents rework by reducing errors, avoiding delays, and optimizing resources.
Accuracy, Consistency, and Communication
Accuracy and Consistency
Reduces human errors in labeling and numbering for consistent identification.
Maintains standardized formats across drawings, ensuring compliance with company or industry standards.
Improved Communication
Clear identification using balloons aids in referencing specific parts/features.
Standardized drawings enhance cross-department collaboration between design, manufacturing, and quality teams.
Scalability and Integration
Integration with Digital Tools
Seamlessly integrates with CAD, PLM systems, or inspection tools for smooth data flow.
Automates reporting by linking ballooned drawings to inspection plans or reports.
Scalability and Enhanced Quality Control
Handles complex designs and scales to intricate projects.
Ensures comprehensive coverage of all critical components, facilitating audits and compliance.
Our Features
Core Auto Ballooning Features
Process (Auto Ballooning): Runs OCR on the image canvas to identify dimensions and automatically generate balloons.
SPL: Identifies complex dimensioning values to enhance the accuracy of the Auto Ballooning process.
Manual Adjustment and Control
Manual Selection: Allows users to specify a particular region of the image for OCR and balloon generation.
Manual Un-selection: Ensures that balloons are not generated in selected regions, focusing OCR on unselected areas only.
Reset: Enables users to clear all generated balloons and their corresponding data, resetting the process.
Image Navigation and Adjustment
Fit Screen: Adjusts the image on the canvas to fit the screen size for better visibility.
Rotate: Allows adjustment of image orientation for accurate balloon placement.
