Quality and traceability
Every unit signed off, logged, and traceable
Quality is a sequence of verified gates, not a slogan. Each stage produces a record. Each record links to a serial. Each serial is queryable years from now.
Quality gates
- Incoming material check
Component reels and panels checked for damage and lot match.
- First article inspection
First panel of each batch inspected against drawing.
- Inline AOI
Every board, every batch.
- X-ray inspection (partner)
BGA and high-density boards routed to partner X-ray when required.
- FCT pass and fail logging
Per-unit results captured against serial.
- Sample IP integrity test
For sealed enclosures, per batch.
- Final batch sign-off
Yield, defect rate, and per-unit log reviewed before release.
What we log per unit
Per-unit traceability database fields:
- Serial number
- Unique per unit, never reused
- MAC, UID, or device identity
- Assigned and logged per unit
- Board batch and lot
- Linked from production traveler
- Component lot (critical parts)
- Captured from sourcing data
- Operator and machine program
- Logged at each line stage
- Firmware version and hash
- Logged at flashing station
- Provisioning timestamp and certificate fingerprint
- Logged at provisioning station
- FCT result vector
- Per-unit, full vector list
- Final QC pass timestamp
- Logged before label and pack
- Shipment batch and date
- Logged at ship-out
Audit readiness
When a regulator, customer, or your own team asks what shipped on serial XXX, the answer comes from one query against the production database. Firmware version, signing key, test result, component lots, batch, operator. Not eventually, in minutes.
Retention typically 5 to 10 years for connected industrial products. Adjust to fit your regulatory exposure.
Production with proof, not promises
