ATS CM4D v19 application suite for manufacturing

ATS International has upgraded its Product Quality Validation Software, ATS CM4D v19. According to the company, the software provides enhanced performance capabilities that allow users to retrieve inspection data, generate critical quality reports, analyse production problems and prevent build issues more efficiently.

The software is a suite of applications designed to fill the gap between the virtual design world of computer-aided design and the physical world of manufacturing. It highlights differences between the geometric design specification and the ‘as built’ data from a manufactured item. Tackling these issues allows manufacturers to attain the highest quality possible, the company says.

The software is now available as a 64-bit application. This allows CM4D to use modern 64-bit computer systems to their full potential, both in processing power and memory utilisation. Although the web-based applications are not 100% 64-bit, users may still benefit from the improved performance of the 64-bit CM4D services and the CM4D client that is run by the web services. ATS CM4D v19 is also available as a 32-bit application for users with 32-bit operating systems.

As of version 19, CrypKey licensing will replace FlexLM and previous versions of CrypKey licences. All upgrades to v19 will require a new licence, but users with a current SMA will be given a new licence with the same features as the current licence with the upgrade.

Users upgrading to v19 from a previous version of CM4D will need to perform a one-time migration of all existing DataSmith translators, DataSmith Batch settings and database passwords. The necessary migration tools are included with the v19 installation packages.
