Avoid data manipulation

Minimize the effect of human influence by reducing manual effort

Reduce the need of operator training

Prevent human errors during testing process

With an advanced joint simulation from trace and multistep management you achieve a reliable high quality fastening. Discover how to increase your speed and become 66% faster thanks to our solution. The operator is fully guided in the complete test process. Higher ease of use with the full operator guidance for visual checks.

Minimize the effect of human influence and errors investing in technology that supports your operators in the Quality Assurance process. With smart connected tools, you can measure your results with accuracy and efficiency. Then, you need to collect and take care of the data reported. Here is where the handheld devices STpad and STpalm make a difference. STpad and STpalm guide the operator also for those checks that don’t require numerical measurement, such as defects collection and go-no go test. QA Supervisor supports you in the standardization of the visual checks optimizing the route according to the layout of your factory. The advanced guidance reduces the need of operator trainings, eliminating the effort of manual inputs and human error.

Save time when making non-torque checks

Avoid spending time doing operations or filling data that are not needed for the check to be performed. Manage and store data straight into the system through one single device. 

Non-torque checks can be crucial information when working with Quality Assurance Tools over the whole production line. Whereas torque is reported automatically into the system, measurements like length and pressure need to be reported manually to complete the big picture. Thanks to QA Platform 4.0 and its easy to use interface, the operator can record and store data straight into the system, by using one single device. Easy route causes track and identification. With QA Platform 4.0 you can manage, set up and edit measurement criteria you need, independently from what you are checking, during Quality Assurance process.
