Quality for Metal
In metalworking, high material cost, multi-operation routings and scrap sensitivity demand that every function sees the real consumption and cost at each step. Quality control at every stage of production. Incoming, in-process and final quality checks, quality plans, conditional approval, and device and calibration management work integrated with the production, warehouse and purchasing modules.
Metal context
Why Quality works differently in Metal
In Metal, metalworking operations center on sector-specific concepts such as cutting-bending-welding routings, scrap and waste, sheet/plate dimension and batch difference. In metalworking, high material cost, multi-operation routings and scrap sensitivity demand that every function sees the real consumption and cost at each step.
Qera ERP's Quality module is set up around how the metal sector works: Records weld seam, dimensional tolerance and surface checks per operation to reduce rejects and rework.
- When multi-operation routings (cutting, bending, welding, machining) aren't standardized, planning and costing get tangled.
- When scrap and waste aren't tracked, material loss and true cost stay invisible.
- When dimension, quality and batch differences in materials like sheet/plate can't be tracked, stock management becomes hard.
Capabilities
How Qera Quality works in Metal
The core capabilities of the Quality module, described for the ton, plate and sheet needs of the metal sector.
Staged quality control
Inspect quality at every stage from raw-material acceptance to shipment with incoming, in-process and final quality control tasks.
Quality control stock
Track products awaiting quality control, approved and rejected separately to keep warehouse inventory accurate.
Quality control plans
Create plans specific to a product and process; standardize which tests are applied, tolerance values and procedures.
Quality card and conditional approval
Create quality cards for detected issues including problem definition, cause, corrective action and owner; manage borderline cases with a conditional approval mechanism.
Device and calibration management
Define measuring devices and their categories; track calibration schedules and receive automatic alerts for devices nearing their due date.
Quality reports and analysis
Analyze incoming-in-process-final control results; combine quality data with production data to identify the station or shift source of an issue.
Outcomes
What it delivers for your Metal business
What you see in metal operations once it is set up properly.
- Defective material is separated at incoming inspection and does not enter production.
- Quality checks follow defined plans, and results are recorded and traceable.
- The calibration schedule is tracked, which keeps measuring devices accurate and compliant.
- Defects are caught at an early stage, which lowers rejection and rework costs.
