Production quality monitoring & Compliance Checks
Achieve continuous improvement in your production
WHAT IS QUALITY ?
Quality, an essential component of production monitoring, is a transverse function that operates from the receipt of raw materials to the delivery of products, including quality controls at various stages of manufacturing (design, implementation, control, improvement, etc.).
Quality is therefore the result of a production process that enables manufacturers to achieve and maintain the desired level.
- Multi-level quality controls
- Continuous improvement guaranteed
FOR THE manager
Quality monitoring no longer requires constant verification of operator information and time-consuming maintenance of spreadsheets for compiling statistics. COOX (COllaborative Operation & eXecution) performs all these operations automatically and associates them automatically with the production batch files. You can also create new control ranges without using programming. The SPC / SQC module allows you to push even further and prevent non-qualities.
FOR THE OPERATOR
No more paper entry of compliance sheets: the risk of error is reduced to a minimum as well as the time for entering information via an intuitive interface. Information is collected directly on the equipment whenever possible: weighing, size, etc. Sampling is facilitated for the implementation of SPC / SQC controls.
Quality controls on receipt
No more paper entry of compliance sheets: the risk of error is reduced to a minimum as well as the time for entering information via an intuitive interface. Information is collected directly on the equipment whenever possible: weighing, size, etc. Sampling is facilitated for the implementation of SPC / SQC controls.
Quality controls online or offline
Depending on the processes and constraints (environmental, legislative, customer specifications) that affect the products, quality controls must be carried out in a systematic manner (online) or by sampling (offline). The sampling control uses statistical methods (SQC : Statistic Quality Control) analogous to statistical process control (SPC) methods. Different types of control cards can be implemented, as well as controls with several tolerance levels (eg TU1 / TU2). Production quality controls can be manual, automatic or hybrid. Interfaces with the operator are customizable.
Quality rate and performance
In terms of performance, production losses induced by non-quality play a crucial role. The quality rate is one of three componenets of OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) that measures the productivity of a line or a production unit. It is calculated automatically according to the measurement (automatically and / or by input) of the products rejected at different steps of manufacture. Thanks to a real-time connected and controlled tool, the operator is immediately notified of a malfunction and is able to implement the necessary corrections. He is thus at the heart of continuous improvement : the tool helps him achieve his objectives (produce for example at the right pace), without compromising on the quality of the products.
