I realised that I had left out some arguments that would have made my post more complete from the questions I was asked during today's post.
As I wrote, the project was designed to simplify (saving) the work of mold operatos and assemblers. In this project I tried to maximize the result, as in all projects I have worked on. So we also simplified the activity of unblocking the material awaiting quality control (the trays poured by the system after printing the label in the blocked area), so that by reading the QRCode placed on each individual label, the system would automatically go and move the boxes to a place suitable for packaging, and at the same time create a sort of grouping of batches so that the material could be sold without waiting for the normal completion of the production order, which could take weeks.
When the QC operator went to release the crates, the system would take a picture of the entire label using the mobile device's camera, the same one used to scan the QR code. This way we would always know who, what and when it had been inspected.
The system we built, as you probably saw in yesterday's post, also had the feature of having all the recipes for the molding machines, which were processed together with the work orders, and via a dashboard located in the center of production, it was possible to see if the machines were working according to the recipes or if they were out of specification.
In another project I had completed a few years earlier, which I will show you in the next few posts, I had linked the tools used to carry out QC checks, the skills of the personnel and all the product acceptance sheets to the factory system I had created. Virtually all of the documentation required to release a particular batch had become electronic. This created what we would now call a digital twin. With all the information in electronic form, it was agreed that the second stage of the project would be to make the system compliant with the FDA's software regulations. These require that electronic documentation must be CFR21 Part11 compliant.
