Software specialist Vertech’ has developed Pallet Audit: a SILXQual module feature for controlling, tracking and certifying the conformity of finished products and pallets prior to delivery.

The Pallet Audit interface automatically generates quality check batches when the plant has an ERP – they can also be created manually.

The new system is designed to ease the control process for users with its various clickable tiles, including pallets, layers, moulds and defects. Proposed defect tiles and their criticality are adjusted depending on the article being checked, AQLs and customer specifications.

When all samples have been checked, the quality operator can close the batch and the system provides a status – either good or blocked. A blocked status means the concerned pallets do not conform to customer specifications and require re-sorting.

Results from quality check batches are transmitted in real-time to the various SIL interfaces, whether at the hot-end, the cold-end or on manager workstations, allowing operators to react accordingly to resolve flagged problems and keep needless losses to a minimum.

All information collected in the process is saved and archived in its entirety so it can be viewed, analysed or extracted at any time.
