Abstract
AMS2750E has brought about significant changes to the record keeping requirements to the heat treating industry. Although not expressly required, heat treating companies that service the aerospace industry are turning to digital solutions that streamline data acquisition, reporting, and compliance with industry standards. Meeting the requirements of AMS2750E for data collection and report generation is one reason why the heat treating industry is seeking custom data collection solutions built with commercial off the shelf components. Companies producing parts to meet the AMS2750E standard must abide by data collection, calibration, temperature uniformity survey (TUS), and system accuracy test (SAT) documentation requirements. The goal of the 2750E record keeping requirements is to improve quality, shorten document retrieval times, and ensure compliance. The advantages of digital records include real-time access to data from multiple locations, improved data integrity, reduced long-term storage costs, and the ability to easily sort, query, and compare data. Leveraging digital systems allows users to capture real-time process data and officially signed documents, and create reports that benefit operators, maintenance personnel, engineers, quality control specialists, and other decision makers. Smartly implemented digital data collection systems leverage the existing network and server infrastructure resulting in a streamlined solution that can interact with existing business and automation systems, including Enterprise Resource Planning systems (ERP) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems that impact quality and profitability.
