Inspect overview and the tasks supported by Inspect / Manager – Boyum Help Center

The figure below illustrates how Boyum Solutions' software portfolio supports the product value chain. Members of the Cloud Apps family, i.e. Build, Schedule, Produce and Inspect are shown in full color.

While Cloud Apps is documented in this Help center, you may also learn more about our logistics and product information management solutions on the Produmex WMS and Perfion pages, respectively.

The position of Inspect in the product value chain is highlighted by an orange frame above. Inspect consists of two components, one designed for inspection managers, the other for shop floor operators. Accordingly, Inspect / Manager enables quality managers to plan, automate and delegate work to inspectors on the shop floor, whereas its counterpart, Inspect / Operator, offers a smart overview of upcoming work to inspectors (operators) working on the shop floor.

Inspect helps you perform quality checks at different points of your production process. If your ERP system is SAP Business One, it supports inspections before, during and after production alike. These processes can be automated, using newly detected documents in your ERP system to trigger the creation of inspection orders.

Thus, Inspect / Manager can generate

Goods receipt,
In production, and
Production receipt

inspection orders automatically.

In order to perform inspections during production (i.e. to generate and process In production inspection orders), the Inspect modules communicate with their Cloud Apps counterparts Produce / Manager and Produce / Operator.

The tasks supported by Inspect / Manager are as follows:
