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.

A quality control form in Varilo records the result of a first-article inspection or batch acceptance together with photos and comments. Non-conformities go into the log and can be exported to Excel (CSV) for further analysis.

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.
