Abstract

Assembly-level properties defined by a manufactured product's assembly tree analyzed as trigger predicates to assist identification (i.e., selection and/or preparation) of inspection requirements for the manufactured product. Particular emphasis is placed on hierarchical relationships—assembly identification, effects of manufacturing on the visibility/accessibility of an assembly to inspection, and using assembly-level semantics to trigger inspection requirements. The identified inspection requirements are optionally open (semantic) or closed. In some embodiments, identified inspection requirements are provided to an automatic inspection planning system configured to generate an inspection plan, the actions of which said plan fulfill the inspection requirements.
