QA data solutions are great for managing and collecting data from quality inspections, residual torque checks, tool checks, and much more, but not all are created equal. To keep your assembly running smoothly, you want the best torque solution on the market; You want QA Supervisor.
One of our customers was looking to replace their outdated software, which led them to speak with our experts about faster, more efficient solutions. That’s where QA Supervisor enters the scene. This server-based software is designed to make the quality manager’s job easier than ever before. Read on to discover more about this impressive solution and the difference it can make in your assembly.
The dilemma
Our customer’s quality team was in search of a solution that would replace their outdated software. Their current solution was inefficient and required manual data entry, which could result in poor quality and human errors.
Furthermore, their quality technicians lacked formal fastening training, which we were glad to provide them with. This would help their operators during assembly.

Atlas Copco services and solutions in action
When we introduced our customer to QA Supervisor and all the benefits and features it has to offer, they were excited to implement a trial run of the solution on the line. So, we integrated QA Supervisor on an STpad and existing STwrenches. This trial run has proven QA Supervisor can run effectively in their assembly. So far, our solution is helping them send routes, the proper program per application, and track all their data.
Our customer also used this solution to validate their tooling. Using QA Supervisor, they were able to validate over 4,000 click wrenches and track dates and service schedules, ensuring that all their tools were always operating at their best and reducing the risk of errors and rework on the line.
However, this test run also helped us to notice that failed residual torques were corrected during the quality audit. We addressed several things to correct this issue, including:
- The lack of communication with their team
- Provided additional training on TBP programming
- Explained the hands-on best practices for residual torque checks
- And, finally, we taught a fastening theory class to their quality technicians to help them better understand why residual torque tests could fail.
