Inspection Management Enables More Efficient Planning and
Execution of Quality Inspections Throughout the Manufacturing
Process
BURLINGTON, Mass., Aug. 6, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- ETQ, part of Hexagon, today announced the latest
release of its ETQ Reliance® NXG quality management system (QMS)
software, featuring a new Inspection Management app, a breakthrough
solution that automates and streamlines the quality inspection
process. Discrete and process manufacturers who use hands-on
inspections to meet quality standards and compliance requirements
are now able to automate their processes, reduce paperwork and
enable real-time visibility into quality operations – all within an
integrated QMS.
"The cost of poor quality continues to rise among today's
manufacturers, not only causing severe financial impact from
product recalls, defects and noncompliance, but also eroding the
trust of customers and damaging industry reputation," said
John Taylor, Chief Technology
Officer, ETQ. "The launch of the Inspection Management app rounds
out our ETQ Reliance offerings and brings a new level of
automation, visibility and control to the quality inspections
process and ensures that only quality products reach
customers."
Quality Inspections – Mitigating the Cost of Poor Quality,
Ensuring Compliance at Scale
Inspection Management will be offered as an option for new and
existing customers of the ETQ Reliance NXG cloud-native QMS. It
enables quality control teams to more easily and accurately check
for product defects, ensuring conformity to specifications and
adherence to quality criteria.
Inspection Management helps identify issues sooner and resolve
them faster by automating links to quality events, nonconformance
reporting and corrective actions. It also provides a central
repository for shop-floor data for analysis and continuous
improvement throughout the manufacturing process. Leveraging
Inspection Management, quality professionals and operations
managers can eliminate paperwork, consistently and prescriptively
conduct quality inspections and maintain revision control of
inspection plans. Other key benefits include:
- Always-current prescriptive inspection guidance. Reduces
disposition time and gives quality teams access to current and
consistent guidance on inspection processes to ensure conformity to
specifications and adherence to quality criteria.
- Automatic linking to quality events. Enables
centralized tracking of events and linking to downstream processes
to create collaborative digital workflows between stakeholders to
enable quality improvement and accountability in the value chain --
from new product introductions, to supply chain quality, to
document control and training.
- Flexible and configurable inspection plan
framework. Supports many types of inspections and
operational checklists, such as in-process, finished goods,
container loading, customer returns or final production.
- Inspections data reporting and analytics. Allows
manufacturers to capture and incorporate quality control data to
track, trend and prioritize the most pressing quality
issues.
