Questions fréquentes
What are digital QC checklists?
Digital QC checklists are software-based forms loaded on mobile tablets that replace traditional paper quality logs, enabling shop-floor operators to capture inspections instantly in a central database.
Do I need expensive computer vision or AI to implement digital QC?
No. Effective digital quality control relies on structured input fields, validation logic, and photographic proof provided by operators. This approach captures 80% of quality benefits without the complexity or cost of custom AI algorithms.
How much does a digital QC implementation cost for an SMB?
Configuring standard digital checklists within an ERP or production database typically requires 25 to 50 man-days of development. At a standard flat rate of ฿7,000 per man-day, the cost ranges between ฿175,000 and ฿350,000, plus ruggedized tablets at ฿5,500 each.
How do digital checklists protect factories from customer disputes?
Because digital forms record absolute server timestamps, device IDs, and mandatory high-resolution photos of defects, they create an immutable audit trail that prevents retrospective data manipulation or blame games during audits.
How do you handle older operators who resist using tablets?
By simplifying the user interface with large touch buttons, barcode scanners, and visual aids. Running a one-week parallel pilot alongside paper logs builds confidence and shows operators how the device protects them from unfair blame.
