Digitising quality control

Digitisation of quality controls enables manufacturing companies to manage data quickly and gain real-time insights into product quality.

Reason

Controlling and monitoring the quality of hundreds of different products is traditionally often done by hand. For example, master data is managed in a file and periodic measurements are taken on the factory floor and stored manually. Besides the fact that managing this data is a very time-consuming process, simultaneous collaboration on the files is often difficult. This makes it difficult to obtain real-time insights.

Up-to-date information enables quick adjustments

Approach

In a design thinking session, we work with Ciphix to determine what solution to build and what it will look like. Better insight on critical business processes requires a platform in which control parameters can be managed in a flexible way, with multiple users simultaneously. This typically requires interfacing with existing IT infrastructure, such as on-premise SAP/ERP business applications. With Mendix low-code, we create low-code applications that connect seamlessly to the existing situation.

The solution

Production staff responsible for quality control can enter data from different production locations at the same time, making the entry process much more efficient. A dashboard also provides managers with valuable information about the quality of different product batches. They can easily see quality trends and make adjustments to batches as needed.

The result

Production staff can update master data up to 50 times faster. If a product definition needs to be added or changed, it takes only a few minutes, whereas previously it took half a day to a day. In addition, such low-code applications provide valuable insights into quality variations during the production process. It allows employees to fully focus on what they do best and ensure that products meet the highest possible standards.
