Manufacturing - compliance metrics

Keep track of quality performance at every step

Log nonconformances observed across manufacturing processes with full context. Leverage data from completed logs by highlighting areas that require more attention and apply corrective actions accordingly.
Connect data from in-process checks to dashboards for better visibility. Make each defect and nonconformity easy to monitor and gain better control of performance from reporting to resolution.
Track real-time quality KPIs across products and sites. Compare defect rates, nonconformance volumes, and inspection completion to focus on what to improve on in the long run.

Spot defects more efficiently

Build robust in‑process quality checks at critical control points. Establish quality tolerances to follow and allow teams to attach photos and logic so issues are caught during production.
Keep a record of every nonconformance reported. Give teams the right information—including defect types, impacts, and customer reference—to effectively address identified issues and implement preventive actions for the long run.
Use comprehensive data to remove systemic sources of defects. Analyze quality and defect trends by line, shift, supplier or equipment to target the biggest drivers of scrap and rework.

We can’t manage what we don’t measure. We track leading performance indicators, such as good observations, risks, issues, and near misses. The more data we have on these, the more positive the outcomes become for safety and quality.

Maintain clear quality standards

Make SOPs and daily inspection checklists easily accessible for teams. Store procedures, visual standards and regulatory quality requirements in one place so teams always work from the same playbook.
Schedule line checks at the right frequency with structured digital workflows. Ensure inspections are scheduled accordingly to stay consistent with in-process and final quality checks.
Close knowledge gaps as soon as issues appear. Use the root causes from incidents and nonconformances to trigger training refreshers and guidance to help teams stay audit ready.

Optimize how work gets done

Create repeatable processes with digitized checks. Turn any process like pre-start, safety, or quality checks into simple taps with everything you need from tables to real-time calculations, photo annotations, voice-to-text, and much more.
Make everything actionable right away. Automate corrective actions across safety, maintenance, and quality with full context and traceability to ensure accountability and timely resolution.
Eliminate reporting and back office work. Turn every check into detailed reports with automated summaries of critical findings, non-conformances, and corrective actions.
