Paperless quality control checklists

Standardise quality checks across the plant. The inspector scans a QR code or NFC tag at the station, works through the questions and saves the result with photos.

The same standard applies regardless of shift or person.

One inspection standard for the whole plant

When quality checks rely on paper and experience, their scope differs between shifts.

It is also hard to see how many non-conformities appeared in a given week and what they concerned.

Varilo captures the scope in a checklist and collects results in one place.

An inspection tied to a station or batch

A QR or NFC tag can belong to a machine, an inspection station or an acceptance area.

The inspector scans it and gets the right set of questions with room for photos and comments.

From checklist to report in a few simple steps

This is how a quality inspection runs in Varilo.

  1. 1

    Create the quality checklist

    Capture the scope of a first article inspection, batch acceptance or in-process check.

  2. 2

    Tag the inspection point

    Place a QR code or NFC tag at the station the checklist belongs to.

  3. 3

    The inspector runs the check

    A scan opens the questions and non-conformities are documented with a photo.

  4. 4

    Analyse the results

    Results and non-conformities collect along with station history and statistics.

Data-driven quality

Reports and statistics show where quality problems repeat:

  • number of inspections and acceptances,
  • stations and batches with the most non-conformities,
  • inspection history of a product or process,
  • photos of non-conformities attached to the result,
  • how inspections develop over time.

Start with one inspection

Move first article inspection to Varilo and compare how long documenting it takes.
