Inspect overview and the tasks supported by Inspect / Operator

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

While Netronic Manufacturing 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. If your ERP system is Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, it allows quality checks before and after production. 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.

As noted above, Inspect can handle In production inspection orders only if your ERP system is SAP Business One.

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

Inspect / Operator offers a smart overview of upcoming work to inspectors (operators) working on the shop floor. It enables the paperless processing of inspection steps and completion of inspection orders.

Below, you can see the main steps of the typical Inspect / Operator workflow.
