The ISIR software EMP.Net by CAQ AG is designed for comprehensive management of initial sample inspections, including planning, execution, data entry, evaluation, and documentation. It supports the creation of standard-compliant initial sample inspection reports (ISIR) such as PPAP reports used in automotive and other industries. The software integrates CAD data, offers automated functions, and provides predefined reports to reduce manual effort and increase accuracy. Users work within a dedicated initial sample tree structure to assign inspection plans and characteristics easily. EMP.Net ensures compliance with industry standards and facilitates efficient workflows from sample management to report generation.
