Inspection of Supplier Equipment on Receipt

Objective

To verify compliance of incoming supplier components before they enter the assembly process.

Value

  • Reduced risk of defective parts entering production
  • Faster incoming inspections

Inspection of Supplier Equipment on Receipt

Problem

Manual inspections of supplier parts are lengthy and error-prone. Defective parts often go unnoticed until much later in the assembly process, causing costly delays.

Solution

AR guides inspectors step-by-step through inspection of:

  • Fastening tools and jigs
  • Fixing elements on supplier-built structures

Outcomes

  • Efficient incoming quality checks
  • Fewer assembly line disruptions
  • Better supplier traceability
