Challenge

The client previously struggled to guarantee accurate and efficient quality checks for their pumps, gearboxes, and salt production. Their reliance on manual checklists presented significant challenges.

Prone to Errors: The manual process was susceptible to human error due to the possibility of inaccurate data entry, inconsistencies, and potential oversights.

Limited Reporting: Real-time reporting capabilities were absent, hindering the ability to gain immediate insights into quality control data and identify potential issues promptly.

Hindered Workflow: Manual checklists hampered workflow efficiency. This could involve time-consuming processes, repetitive tasks, and potential delays in identifying and addressing quality concerns.

These limitations ultimately hampered the client’s ability to maintain consistent quality standards, respond to issues swiftly, and optimize their production processes.
