Applicable Industries	Equipment & Machinery
Applicable Functions	Quality Assurance
Services	Software Design & Engineering Services
Challenge	Atlas Copco Wilrijk Oil-Free Division was primarily challenged by the proliferation of paper in quality control and during New Product Development, which led to inefficiencies in terms of time and costs. For example, checklists were not always filled out, causing a lack of traceability for the remainder of the production chain. Read More
About Customer	Atlas Copco is a Swedish industrial company founded in 1873. The company specializes in the manufacturing of industrial tools and equipment. Atlas Copco companies develop, manufacture, service, and rent industrial tools, air compressors (of which it is the world’s leading producer), construction and mining equipment such as rock drills and assembly systems. The specific division in focus in this case study is the Atlas Copco Wilrijk Oil-Free Division, which deals with oil-free air compressors and dryers. Read More
Solution	Atlas Copco Wilrijk Oil-Free Division implemented the Proceedix software to eliminate paper from end of line inspections and during prototype assembly. End of line inspections are now performed digitally on tablets. This allows the operator to enrich quality controls with pictures. Once a quality control is terminated, the Proceedix software automatically generates a report containing all the answers and details of the execution. Execution reports can be consulted by both quality control inspectors and supervising engineers. In End testing, issues are now documented with pictures that are immediately available to all people concerned. In the third application, during prototype assembly, the preliminary instructions are used in Proceedix as a basis for assembly follow-up and feedback tracing. Read More Log in to view content
