[OT] Inspection Reporting Software

Hello Sarah,
We have hand held ut gages that down load raw data into an mdb file. We
use Access to prompt the user for header info and then generate the report
into a Microsoft Word doc. You could do this with raw data in ASCII text
format also. The rest of our inspection reports are all word doc's.

I realize this is very off-topic, but I am curious what others use for
reporting dimensional inspection data to customers. Historically, we have
used Excel Spreadsheets. However, we now have an inspection group that
also
performs complete first piece analysis, Process capability studies,
GR&R's,
Calibrations, etc., and we are looking for a software package that can
import raw data from our many different types of CNC inspection equipment
and 'spit-out' the specified report. We could probably write something
ourselves, but if there is an 'off-the-shelf' package that accommodates
this
that would be the quickest and most reliable way of accomplishing this.
Is
anyone aware of anything like this?
