Getting started
From CAD to inspection reports
Author in Studio, inspect on iPad, then review in your browser.
Accounts and equipment
- Ask your administrator for an account and server address. This page does not provide default credentials. Workspaces depend on your permissions.
- On-site inspection requires a LiDAR-equipped iPad Pro. The implementation team supplies iPad and desktop packages for the target devices and systems.
- Use web Studio directly. Prepare STEP / STP or IGES / IGS files; convert other formats first.
Author in Studio
- Open Author, import CAD, wait for conversion and open the draft.
- Click a part name to highlight it. Double-click or choose Focus part for details. Search, isolate or hide parts; exiting isolation restores the previous view.
- R marks reference parts and I marks inspected parts; these roles are mutually exclusive. Use stable parts that are always present as references.
- Configure start poses and steps. Choose Add checkpoint and click the model, or Shift-click. Undo, duplicate and reorder steps or checkpoints, and rehearse steps to verify poses and visible parts. Seven types are available: presence, position, visual/weld, count, dimension, photo and document. Add attachments and capture requirements as needed.
- Wait for Saved, then submit for approval or publish as required. Browsing does not modify the draft; publishing creates a new version.
Inspect on iPad
- Connect using the server address and credentials supplied by your administrator. Download a published project and create an inspection session.
- Align from the start pose and verify overlay quality before inspecting. Initialization and tracking must be validated on your real parts.
- Review each step and let the inspector confirm OK / NOK. Record photos, annotations and notes. Dimensional screening assists inspection; it does not replace metrology.
- End the session to generate a report. Inspection works offline; check synchronization after reconnecting.
Review in the browser
- Open Review in Studio, locate checkpoints in the fixed-version model and compare criteria, photos and original / reviewed results. Missing required evidence or unchecked items block sign-off.
- Authorized supervisors can record review comments and confirm conclusions. Download reports as needed; available actions depend on permissions.
- Published projects support model viewing. Create a draft from a project version to edit its contents.
Reinspection and recovery
- Request reinspection from Review and specify a reason, assignee and due date.
- Inspectors claim tasks in Studio or the project picker in the updated iPad app, download the specified version and create a new session for the same item.
- Submit after the new session and evidence sync. Supervisors review the new session before closing the task.
- When authoring conflicts occur, compare the preserved local copy and server version, then save a new draft or adopt the server version. Do not refresh away unsaved work.
Deployment and validation
- This is an integration prototype. Agree accuracy, stability and delivery acceptance on your specific parts and site conditions.
- In-house tracking is the main path. ARKit reference objects and GPU stations need use-case validation; the third-party bridge is reserved and not integrated.
- Projects and reports support private deployment. R&D diagnostic bundles use Alibaba Cloud OSS; agree collection scope, access and storage before enabling diagnostics.
- Without a mail app, copy the request from the website contact section and paste it into webmail and send it to demo@cadarai.com. An email reply confirms receipt.
