Real-Time Quality Control Management System
We developed a mobile-based quality control management system for a manufacturing company to optimize their quality inspection process and reduce waste from defective production runs. The solution connects machine operators with quality control staff through a real-time notification system.

Challenge
The client faced significant operational inefficiencies in their quality control process:
Delays in quality control inspections leading to continued production of defective parts
No tracking system for parts waiting for inspection
Poor communication between machine operators and quality control staff
Significant waste from continued production of defective parts
Lack of visibility into quality control performance metrics
No standardized process for part handoffs between production and QC
