A defect is found. Which production needs checking?

Rejects rise, but it is unclear whether production or inspection conditions changed. The affected scope needs checking before holding an entire lot.

Inspection & traceability

Data connections, decision rules and approved actions are designed for your equipment and operating criteria.

The production flow

Material & work history → Machine or assemble → Final inspection

Connect data. Reason. Act with approval.

01 · NAZARE

Connect data

Connect each product ID to material lot, equipment, processing time, inspection values, images and instrument calibration.

NAZAREInspection & traceability · Equipment signal analysis

02 · NAZARE · Ontology

Capture operating criteria

Define product–process–inspection relationships, acceptance rules, retest conditions and affected-product grouping criteria.

03 · NAVIS

Assess causes & actions

NAVIS compares production conditions and calibration history around the event, proposing products sharing equipment, tools or material for review.

  • Execute with approval — The supervisor approves retesting and segregation. If a sorting device is integrated, NAZARE passes the permitted diversion request to its PLC.
  • Verify results — Use retest results to refine the affected scope and retain per-product decisions and actions for later investigation.

↶ Keep verified outcomes and actions in NAZARE to inform the next decision.

Machine safety circuits, interlocks and operating procedures remain in place. Control requires approval and verified communication, permissions and equipment state. ML models can be added under a separate scope.

What operators and managers can assess

Operators

Know which products to recheck and why.

Management & production leads

Build evidence to avoid unnecessary holds.

Measures to validate in a pilot

  • Time to identify affected scope
  • Retest lead time
  • Repeat inspection rate

Establish a baseline and compare under matching product and operating conditions. Outcomes depend on data quality and site conditions.

What we confirm first

Confirm available signals, product and lot links, operating criteria, approvers and permitted controls. Ingkle experts structure know-how as ontology in NAZARE using field interviews and proprietary tools.
