Quality Assurance 4.0

Minimize the impact of human impact and error by investing in technology that supports the quality of your operators in the security process. With smart tools, you can accurately integrate tightening rather than moment operations. The measured data is then taken care of. They remain stored in the devices, ST PAD or ST Palm, and you can look them up at any time. These devices make it possible to set guidance for the operator for each quality inspection. Advanced guidance reduces operator training requirements and the risk of human error.

Planning and implementing quality assurance and being able to analyze data quickly, thoroughly and effectively is key to reducing failures. Thanks to the QA Supervisor software, you can monitor and define every single quality assurance step in the plant structure. Managing and collecting data from any quality control becomes easy. With QA Supervisor you can monitor every change in line settings. Save a great deal of time and reduce your costs, making every audit quick and efficient. Turn your results into valuable data.

Plan and monitor the execution of quality inspections wherever you are. Take advantage of real-time data access and review results from any computer using a standard web browser. Share data with other departments and monitor the status of the line thanks to the data obtained from the performed checks. Analyze, track and compare data with statistics and trend reports that improve your process. Solve specific tasks, define factory layouts, lines, stations and connections with QA Supervisor quality assurance software.

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.

The possibility of wireless measurement and sending the result using the IRC-Connect converter allows testing automated stations as well. IRC-Connect provides operator independence and high reliability with the latest assembly technologies such as robots and automated spindles. Thanks to the results displayed in real time on the ST PADE or ST Palm, you get an overview and control over the results of the measurements in real time.

Use a single device for any type of in-line quality control: Tool inspection, joint inspection, visual inspection, and dimensional inspection. STpad is a core device in the QA 4.0 platform and can be used with IRC-Connect, STRwrench or with STbench, moving seamlessly from one to the other. Thanks to the unique interaction between STpad and QA Supervisor software, you can visualize and receive real-time feedback and data. With an integrated 2D barcode reader and camera, it stores complete traceability data that can be transferred and securely stored in a database.
