Serialization, Traceability, and Quality Control
Quality inspections are easy to implement and maintain with RealTime Manufacturing. At the operational level, inspection and defect
tracking procedures are completed on serialized entities (or objects). The inspector or quality manager can 'tag' a particular quantity
of parts as defective, obsolete, sub-standard, on-hold, etc. so that no other process can use that particular quantity. Trying
to use that particular lot or quantity will result in a warning signaled from the RealTime Manufacturing. Trying to ship 'quality-alert'
products will also result in a warning to the operator.
This second level of acceptance testing will enhance your existing defective material tracking processes. Quality inspection can
be performed at all stages of manufacturing - from material received to product completion to product shipped. You will also have the
ability to give the operator ownership of their processes - and we can employee-stamp all quality inspections.

The RealTime Manufacturing philosophy contends that in order to improve our manufacturing processes, we have to understand what is happening on the shop floor - where the product is made. Defect tracking is an essential part of improving the quality of your products. The implementation of defect tracking processes is simple with RealTime Manufacturing. Shop floor personnel enter defects from a menu driven windows GUI with touch-screen PC monitor capability. Operators can enter defects as they occur (real-time) or they can enter them in batch at the end of a run, every minute, 5 min., 10 min., or whenever we believe is necessary. The goal is to allow the operator to report defects as easily as possible. If your defects can be detected by automated means, then defect entry is even easier.
Defect tracking is the first step towards evaluating product quality and effects on quality from various processes at an absolute level.
Initiatives can be taken to minimize defects throughout your processes. We can then evaluate product quality at a relative level - constantly
improving over time. ![]() Click image to enlarge. Implementing good quality control practices is simple and easy with RealTime Manufacturing. RealTime Modules YOUR ENTERPRISETo see how RealTime Technology Group can help you in your operation, click on the area of interest from our virtual factory.
