When selecting quality control software, one might assume that the ideal software is the fastest, most feature-rich, best-documented, easiest to use, or the most powerful. While these aspects are undoubtedly important, the most critical feature to focus on is how easily the software can be automated.
Automation is key because it ensures a flawless quality control process that operates continuously, independent of personal capacity. A software that is a bit harder to learn or less visually appealing but can be set up once to run indefinitely is far superior. The initial investment in such a system pays off through significant long-term savings by eliminating the need for repetitive manual quality control tasks. At Eleven Dynamics AG, our software is designed with automation as the primary goal, ensuring even inexperienced users can easily automate their quality control processes.
The type of manufactured piece and the quantity produced are the primary factors affecting the choice of quality control software. The nature of the piece determines the required accuracy, while the quantity influences the speed at which pieces must be measured. Our software at Eleven Dynamics can be tailored to create a bespoke solution for your specific needs, avoiding the pitfalls of pre-made solutions that require you to adapt your factory to fit the software.
Flexibility is the cornerstone of our software. Designed as an open platform, our software can be fine-tuned to meet various industry needs by adjusting parameters like speed, throughput, cost, measuring quality, and external system constraints. This flexibility means we can adapt our software to your specific problem, rather than forcing you to adapt your problem to fit our software.
Our hardware-agnostic platform can integrate with most market hardware, and if we don't support a particular hardware yet, you can request it. This ensures our solutions can seamlessly integrate within your production line and existing processes, adapting to your needs rather than the other way around.
At Eleven Dynamics, solving customer problems without disrupting their work is our top priority. We offer reliable support, including a live chat on our support page for immediate assistance. Our training resources are continuously expanding with more documentation, videos, and tutorials to make our software easier to understand and use. We aim to empower you to personalize your processes and fully own your solutions.
Our software includes user modes to limit functionality exposure, enhancing security by restricting operations to necessary tasks. For example, our Go mode integrates with a visual window, displaying only essential information and a play button to minimize errors. Additionally, our software constantly monitors hardware, robots, sensors, and PLCs to ensure synchronized and flawless operation. If any issues arise, the system will automatically protect the hardware and halt operations. We also integrate with security hardware and PLCs to ensure continuous awareness and response to any security breaches.
Having collaborated with major German automotive manufacturers, our software is designed to meet strict industry standards and regulations. This proven track record ensures that our solutions facilitate compliance with the highest industry standards.
Signs that a business is ready for an upgrade include recurring quality control problems, dependency on a few highly trained engineers, frequent returns or discarded parts, and an overloaded quality control process. If any of these issues are present, it’s time to consider a change. Our software is designed to automate your quality control, making it easy to use and adaptable to future needs, reducing dependency on specialized workers.
The further along a problem is detected in the production process, the more costly it becomes to resolve. Continuous quality control helps detect issues early, preventing expensive fixes down the line. Automation ensures a consistent, reliable quality control process, reducing the need for a specialized workforce and mitigating future labor challenges. While automation requires an initial investment, the short-term benefits include fewer defects and faster quality control, while the long-term benefits ensure your quality control process remains robust and adaptable.
