Greenfield Engineering continues to strengthen its commitment to precision, traceability, and customer assurance through the implementation of the High -QA Inspection Manager (IM) Factory system across its manufacturing operations.
This advanced, database-driven platform supports Greenfield’s ongoing investment in digitalisation, enabling a more streamlined and controlled approach to inspection planning and quality management. Operating on a flexible floating licence model, the system allows multiple users across the business to access the software efficiently, supporting both engineering and quality teams across sites.
The introduction of IM Factory brings significant capability enhancements, including automated ballooning and GD&T extraction directly from 2D drawings. This enables faster creation of inspection plans and reduces manual input, ensuring greater consistency and accuracy throughout the process.
For Greenfield Engineering customers, this translates into tangible benefits. Enhanced reporting capabilities—including PPAP, FAI, and Form 1-2-3 documentation—ensure full compliance with industry standards while providing clear, structured, and professional inspection outputs. The system’s revision control and centralised database further strengthen traceability, offering complete visibility of part history and inspection data at any stage of production.
Additionally, the ability to import shop floor and CMM data supports real-time quality verification, reducing lead times and enabling faster response to customer requirements. Integrated user access controls and asset management tools also ensure that all processes are governed, secure, and aligned with best practice.
As part of the implementation, Greenfield Engineering team is undergoing comprehensive training to fully utilise the system’s capabilities, reinforcing the company’s culture of continuous improvement and technical excellence. This latest investment underpins Greenfield Engineering’s position as a forward-thinking manufacturing partner—delivering not only high-quality sheet metal components but also robust, data-driven quality assurance that customers can rely on.
