ProcessIQ: Enhanced Quality with Digital Traceability
In a recent discussion with a ProcessIQ customer we thought it would be helpful to other manufacturers to share their highlights, including the reasons for change, challenges and benefits and future ambitions for their shop floor operations.
The discussions began with what problems the customer had identified and the need to modernize their shop floor processes and it was essentially driven by a desire for improving access to data and quality and to eradicate paper from the production processes.
Why ProcessIQ for Green Power Solutions?
Paper based Production Processes
The customer knew their paper based shop floor build documentation and quality data capture were inefficient, cumbersome to manage, but most importantly difficult to get to every increasing data requirements. Problem solving, compliance and reporting was very difficult having paper based electronic work instructions and quality travellers. Finding critical information was very time consuming, rifling though paper binders. Time to go digital but how do we transform the shop floor?
Digital Work Instructions for Accuracy
Standardize assembly processes with interactive, step-by-step work instructions, reducing human error and ensuring product consistency. The customer expressed their satisfaction with the user-friendliness of ProcessIQ, noting that it eased the transition from their previous paper-based processes. The customer found ProcessIQ extremely helpful in defining their build and quality processes electronically, improving overall efficiency. While they appreciated the ability to import legacy work instructions (Using a PDF to enable a quick start of the software), it was noted the initial trepidation was quickly overcome as they became familiar with the software and used it daily.
Key highlights of going paperless
Getting into the reeds on the electronic work instruction part for a moment, one of the key benefits identified was the ability to manipulate images, zoom in for better clarity, and store quality data digitally, which was a significant upgrade from their old paper processes. The customer praised the flexibility and openness of the software, emphasizing that it allowed them to maintain both paper copies and secure digital records. ProcessIQ has improved traceability and provided a better understanding of data. They find the ability to use digital scanners for data entry hugely beneficial, removing manual data entry issues.
Simulating your production processes
The discussion touched upon the upcoming simulation feature in ProcessIQ, which allows you to simulate end to end processes before committing to a production rus, further enhancing efficiency and ensuring quality data is meeting the specification. Timings can also be used to validate assumptions for planned vs actual.
Future plans with Microsoft PowerBI Reporting & ERP Integration
The customer expressed strong interest in the reporting capabilities of ProcessIQ, particularly planned vs actual reporting to validate financial assumptions and they are excited about integrating Power BI for visual analytics and seeing how it could benefit production management and improve stakeholder engagement. The discussion concluded with plans for to go further and utilise ProcessIQ capabilities for ERP integration and process efficiency with shop floor tooling and equipment integration, supporting the customer ambitions.
Scalable & Future-Ready
Designed for flexibility and growth, ProcessIQ supports rapid production changes, new product introductions, and evolving technology without disrupting workflows.
Applications of ProcessIQ for Green Power Solution Manufacturers
Enhance Quality with Digital Traceability
Eradicate paper from your production & quality processes with digital work instructions, automated quality checks, and real-time defect validation.
Enhanced Quality & Compliance in Your Manufacturing Operations
Digital workflows capture all the relevant data electronically and enforces quality in the build process. All data is persistently stored to support reporting & problem solving where that may occur. Record keeping is streamlined!
High-Mix, Low-Volume Production
Adapt to frequent design changes and custom orders with scalable, flexible workflows that allow manufacturers to quickly implement revisions.
Streamlined production operations
Simulate you meet strict industry regulations with traceable inspection protocols, digital documentation, and automated compliance tracking for consistent quality assurance.
What our customer say
Georg Fischer
“We have 800+ SKUs which are subject to frequent changes. As we have customers across all regions, we have to adhere to certain localised or legislative requirements. Yet, about 20 SKUs represent 80% of our revenue, but we also have a vast number of low volume products to produce. This adds complexity to our production lines.“Additionally, some products require complex production processes, so ProcessIQ is extremely helpful for the production cells. It provides a very specific method sheet and documentation to support the build,” explained Nick.“ProcessIQ eliminates wasted time. Anyone can use the tool, so we are not relying entirely on engineering to make updates. You simply revise, following a document control workflow and share directly.
