SBCA has made a commitment to improving in-plant quality control processes for truss manufacturing, given that there have been opinion debates about truss quality with truss manufacturer customers.

Software development evolves quickly, so the intent is to have the electronic interface reduce the need for TPI members to create special programs for SBCA’s digital QC, or potentially require SBCA to support five different formats which costs everyone time and money. CT)Īfter regrouping from a spirited Strike Force 1 meeting in Miami, Strike Force 1 is pivoting its focus to prioritizing the creation of an in plant QC specification that is essentially an “electronic version” of current truss design software outputs for plate placement diagrams and truss manufacturing into a standardized input for SBCA’s ongoing Digital QC development.
#STRIKE FORCE 2 DUST UPDATE#
Strike Force 1 Update (update on 4/30 at 2:07 p.m. SBCA sent a TPSX white paper along with sample files and examples to TPI’s Digital QC Programming Committee and created a central location for TPSX information located at: TPSX contains basic component and layout information of individual trusses and specific quality control and quality assurance information while remaining scalable should other information be necessary in years to come. This allows for a streamlined approach to file output of specific information while also allowing for future expansion should the format needs of Digital QC for trusses broaden or other opportunities present themselves for wall panel QC, field framing QA, and so forth. TPSX utilizes a tiered file format incorporated into a compressed “.zip” folder. Having a standard file establishes a consistent input for SBCA’s Digital QC programmers to rely upon as they continue to build the program, add features and drive in-plant QC into the 21st century for component manufacturers. TPSX standardizes QC data outputs in a single format, giving software programmers a definitive target to aim for when developing output options for their various platforms. Strike Force 1, with the aid of SBCA staff, recently completed a TPSX file format to streamline truss design software outputs for use with SBCA’s Digital QC.
