Quality Inspection Software Stop bad parts walking from goods-in straight into stores.

Inspect at goods receipt, at routing operations and before MO output becomes stock. Readings pass or fail against their limits, the usage decision moves the stock, and every rejection becomes a quality notification with disposition and CAPA.

The basics

What is quality inspection software?

Quality inspection software holds your inspection plans, creates an inspection when material arrives or an operation is booked, records the readings and judges them against the limits. It then records the decision: how much is accepted, how much is rejected, and what happens to the rejected parts.

Without it, nothing sits between received and in stock. Inspectors work from paper, a rejected lot gets used because nobody blocked it, and the rejection report to the supplier is typed up by hand days later. Ask which supplier caused the most rejections this quarter and someone has to build a spreadsheet.

Features

Inspection management software from goods-in to dispatch

Inspection plans for incoming, in-process and final

Measurement, pass/fail, visual and note checks with limits, photos and instructions. Sample every piece, a fixed number or a percentage, with an accept number and an optional switch to 100 percent.

Incoming inspection software tied to the GRN

Posting a GRN for a planned part holds it in quality stock and creates the inspection, with part, supplier, PO and quantity already filled in. A required MTC or CoC must be attached before the lot can be accepted.

In-process and final inspection on the shop floor

Operators record checks on the shop-floor screen during booking, or inspectors work from a queue sorted oldest first. Hold next operation stops the next step booking more than was accepted.

Nonconformance management with quality notifications

Rejections raise a quality notification with defect codes and quantities. Split the quantity across return to supplier, scrap, rework with re-inspection, or use as-is with approval, and each one moves the stock.

CAPA and supplier rejection reports

Record the root cause by category and track corrective and preventive actions until verified. The rejection report prints as a PDF for the supplier, and a rejection PO can be raised for the return.

Supplier quality management by report card

Score each supplier on accepted quantity or lots, PPM and on-time delivery, with weights and grade bands you set. Reports show rejection rate by supplier and part, a defect Pareto and open notifications by age.

Inspections doesn't live alone

Goods receipts against purchase orders create incoming inspections, and returns can raise a rejection PO. An SPC signal can raise a quality notification pre-filled with part, batch and workstation, and inspection readings can name a gauge from the calibration register.

FAQ

Quality inspection questions people ask

Still unsure? Ask our team.

What is quality inspection?

It is checking a product against its specification by measuring, testing or looking at it, then deciding whether to accept it. Plants usually inspect at three points: incoming material, in-process at operations, and final inspection before the product goes to stock or the customer.

What is a non conformance?

A non conformance is any product, material or process result that does not meet a specified requirement, such as an undersize diameter, a wrong material grade or a missing certificate. It has to be identified, kept apart and given a decision: return, scrap, rework or use as-is.

What is a non conformance report?

An NCR records what was found, how many parts are affected, the decision on them and, where needed, the root cause and corrective action. In YourBrand this record is the quality notification, raised automatically from a rejected inspection or a shop-floor reject.

What is first article inspection?

First article inspection checks that the first part from a new or changed process matches every requirement on the drawing. In aerospace it follows AS9102. YourBrand handles first article inspection inside its PPAP product, with FAI forms as structured data.

What is supplier quality assurance?

It is the work of making sure bought-in parts meet your requirements: inspecting what arrives, returning what fails, and rating suppliers over time. In YourBrand the supplier report card combines inspection results with on-time delivery into one graded score per supplier.

Does every part need an inspection plan?

No. Parts without a plan move through goods receipt and the shop floor exactly as before. You add plans where you need them, and stock held in quality by hand still gets an inspection so it never sits unseen.
