Quality checks: one standard on every shift
Checks done "each their own way" give diverging results. CAPTiX turns a filmed reference inspection into a step-by-step check on a phone at the station, from in-process checks to end-of-line.
A quality check is only as good as the repeatability of how it is performed. If every shift checks differently (different order, different acceptance criteria), quality data stops being comparable, and defects slip through between shifts.
The problem: acceptance criteria live in interpretation
A paper checklist says "verify correct assembly", but doesn't show what a fully seated connector or a correctly routed wiring loom looks like and how it differs from a defective one. New inspectors calibrate for months; experienced ones each go by their own eye.
How CAPTiX supports quality checks
- A colleague films a reference inspection: what to check, in what order, what "good" looks like and what "bad" looks like.
- CAPTiX Studio splits it into steps with key points, scores the instruction against standard-work rules and proposes improvements.
- The operator follows each check step by step on a phone at the station, from in-process checks to the end-of-line test, with the A4 sheet posted alongside.
- Acceptance criteria are shown on examples, not described with adjectives, leaving less room for interpretation.
- Updating criteria means a new video, and all shifts inspect the same way immediately.
Inspection stops depending on the inspector's eye: the standard is visible instead of imagined.
What the plant gains
- Helps reduce mistakes, rework and the cost of non-conformity.
- Comparable inspection results across shifts, lines and plants.
- Faster calibration of new inspectors and easier audits, because the standard is documented on video and on a standard PDF sheet.
