Burd and Fletcher, a US manufacturer of printed folding cartons and formed containers for the retail food industry, uses ATS Inspect to collect attribute data during the production process.
ATS Inspect allows operators to use mobile devices to record measurements and defects on a visual representation of the product. The information is then instantly available for analysis.
Burd and Fletcher wanted to replace their problematic paper checklists with a time-stamped electronic checklist.
The company also required the ability to instantly flag recurring defects and view the exact physical location of defects on the carton.
According to ATS, Inspect was able to deliver on all of these counts while providing the additional ability to analyse long-term defect trends using reports that they can design and create in house.
Using ATS Inspect has reduced scrap, rework and all the related costs and is now an integral part of Burd and Fletcher's visual quality operations.
