Database System

Benefits

Improve quality control and traceability

• Enhance quality control capabilities with prompted and adjustable frequency checks, and standard reports for proactive error management 
• Reduce manual record-keeping and human error for reliability 
• Control user access to machine settings and test parameters with secure, password-protected log-ins

Minimize part processing time  

• Speed up the inspection process by automating part entry and test parameter selection 
• Electronically access your part-specific technique sheets on-screen to minimize time away from the machine 
• The Barcode scanner reads the job bar code or QR code to automatically pull up the correct test parameters and then log the part information in the database
• Eliminate manual wet bench parameter entry so inspectors can focus on part processing

Automated Record Keeping & Report Generation 

A built-in database enhances quality control reporting capabilities by recording critical inspection data points, including:

• Inspection date & time 
• Part number 
• Customer 
• Pass/ Fail status 
• Recipe number & name 
• Test parameters, including output current type and amperage 
• Operator ID and comments

Save long-term costs and increase facility throughput 

• Save approximately 10 minutes per job by automating record keeping, locating the technique sheet for the part, and entering all the inspection parameters 
• Reduce bottlenecks caused by lengthy magnetic particle inspections 
• Utilize on-screen prompted process checks and reference materials to help with personnel onboarding, equipment training, and company best practices 
• Spend less time on paperwork or reporting and more time inspecting parts
