Map of Defects

It is a functionality of the Kapture.io Quality Management System that allows real-time visualization of defects in production processes through a heat map, speeding up decision-making and reducing non-quality costs.

Defect map control guidelines Kapture.io QMS

Advantages

Real-time visualisation: Automatically displays defects on a heat map, facilitating immediate response and improving manufacturing efficiency.
Key features:
- Accuracy: Custom grid settings for detailed, actionable data.
- Customisation: Classification of defects and assignment of their severity directly on the product image.
- Scoring: Severity level according to the criticality of the product.
- Alarms and notifications: Real-time alerts to reduce the economic impact of defects.
Data entry:
- Manual: Selection of defect type, severity, and location.
- Automatic: Integration with control machines, scanners, and vision cameras.
Advanced analysis: Complement the heat map with graphs such as Pareto and trend charts for in-depth data analysis and prioritisation of actions.
Industrial applications: Consumer goods, automotive, marine, aviation, railways, and household appliances.

SCRAP quality control guidelines Kapture.io Quality management software

Scrap Management

In Kapture.io QMS, this control guidelines function helps reduce manufacturing costs through the digitization, analysis, and real-time visualization of rejection data, enabling faster, data-driven decision-making.

Advantages

Digital scrapbooking:
- Customisable forms accessible from tablets, mobiles, or PCs.
- Statement of rejections by machine, operator, shift, batch, line, or type of defect.
- Real-time or end-of-shift recording, with automatic synchronisation to analysis dashboards.
Analysis and visibility:
- Paneles de control actualizados cada pocas horas con datos consolidados.
- Visualisation of scrap volume, economic impact and affected references.
- Automatic calculation of scrap costs per discarded part, machine, operator, or defect.
Optimisation and continuous improvement:
- Identification of the most influential factors: defects, process stages, machines, or operators.
- Prioritisation of corrective actions, targeted maintenance, and process adjustments.
- Comparison between machines for detecting deviations and technical problems.

What does Kapture.io bring to Quality Control Guidelines?

Each control guideline is built on three key components:

Attributes

Checks

Inspection Forms

They contain: Text, images, videos, automatic alerts for out-of-specification values, and mandatory fields.

Frequently asked questions

What are quality control guidelines?

Control guidelines are standardized instructions that indicate to the operator: What to measure, How, and When in each production operation.
In a QMS like Kapture.io, they are executed on the shop floor with guided forms, evidence, and validations, ensuring real-time traceability by line, shift, and batch.

What is the purpose of quality control guidelines?

To unify criteria, reduce variability in how tasks are executed, and facilitate training and audits.
In the context of industrial quality, control guidelines are the type of guideline applied directly on the shop floor to ensure that each measurement and verification is carried out in a standardized way.

How do control guidelines differ from the quality control plan?

The control plan defines the global quality assurance strategy: Which operations are controlled? How often? And with what criteria? Control guidelines are the operational execution of that plan on the shop floor, translated into concrete instructions, checks, and digital records associated with each operation.

¿Qué información debe incluir una pauta de control de calidad?

Una pauta de control debe incluir atributos del producto o proceso, instrucciones de inspección, límites de tolerancia, frecuencia de muestreo, evidencias requeridas (mediciones, fotos, firmas) y acciones de reacción como OK, REWORK o SCRAP. En Kapture.io, además, pueden configurarse máscaras de entrada y cronómetros automáticos.

How do control guidelines help reduce defects and rework?

Control guidelines guide the operator with clear instructions, mandatory fields, and tolerance limits, preventing critical steps from being skipped. By recording each measurement in real time and triggering alarms when deviations occur, problems are detected before they reach the customer, reducing rework, scrap, and quality claims.

Which sectors benefit the most from quality control guidelines?

Control guidelines provide value in automotive, consumer goods, home appliances, railway, nautical, aerospace and, in general, in any industry with series production. Wherever defects generate scrap, rework, or customer claims, a QMS like Kapture.io with control guidelines accelerates the detection, response, and action against these defects.

Can I integrate Kapture.io QMS control patterns with my ERP or MES?

Kapture.io QMS integrates with ERP and MES to share masters, orders, batches and control results. Control patterns are executed on the shop floor while the corporate system maintains transactional traceability. This architecture avoids duplicate records and consolidates quality information into a single data repository.
