Mobile Quality Control and Defect Tracking

Capture defect codes, photo evidence, and rejection events immediately so production managers can react before waste compounds.

The problem

Paper QC sheets slow down feedback, which means a machine can stay out of calibration for hours and ruin far more material than necessary.

Implementation

Use tablet-based QC forms that force structured reporting and alert the production manager as soon as a defect threshold appears.

Workflow steps

  • Record defect codes and inspection outcomes in a digital QC form.
  • Attach photos whenever a batch or unit is rejected.
  • Notify the production manager immediately so the line can be adjusted or stopped.

Expected result

Catch issues faster, reduce wasted raw materials, and create a searchable audit trail for quality and compliance reporting.

Why this works in Norbital

Each step reads and updates the same records. Forms, approvals, automations, and reports do not need separate data copies.
