In order to show further potential in the future, we present the most common use cases for our customers in the "Use Cases" series.
In many companies, quality control measures must be carried out on a regular basis. They are often time-consuming for employees and require detailed documentation. In addition, this makes the path to "lean production" more difficult.
One way of increasing employee satisfaction, productivity and the reliability of documentation is the use of industrial smartwatches.
In the following you will find out how this has already been implemented in practice for numerous customers.
Initial situation
In a production hall, many large machines are divided into machine groups. Specific employees are assigned to each group. It must be ensured that a quality check is carried out every 30 minutes. The employees who work in the respective group are responsible for this.
As a result, it is necessary to divide which employee is responsible for which test within the responsibility group. In addition to the great coordination effort, the loss of time also plays a major role.
In addition, it can be the case at any time that the responsible employee is performing another important task at the time of the actual test, so that he has to hand the test over to a colleague. The actual task with the higher priority still has to be interrupted in order to delegate the quality check to a colleague.
Another point that bothers employees in their workflow is the lack of memory. You must always keep quality assurance in mind and check the clock regularly. In the case of large shop floors, the distance to be covered should not be ignored.
The employees have to walk to the PCs at the terminals, the MES (Manufacturing Execution System) or QMS (Quality Management System) in order to start the quality inspection.
In order to save time and money and to relieve the employees, many companies are looking for a smart solution for quality checks.
