3.3 Labor Efficiency Improvement
- Automation handles repetitive, high‑precision placement and inspection.
- Staff shifted from manual work to machine operation, first‑article inspection, exception handling and quality analysis.
- Output per labor hour = Qualified PCBs produced ÷ total direct labor hours – increased by 60% on average across all SMT lines.
3.4 Quality Improvement & Data Loop
- SPI monitors paste volume, offset and bridging in real time.
- AOI detects component shifts, polarity errors, missing parts and insufficient solder.
- Reflow profiles are saved per product/PCB type and auditable.
- Each PCB carries a barcode linked to work order, line, equipment program and inspection results.
- When DPPM rises above threshold, the system alerts quality engineers to analyse by line, shift, material batch or model.
3.5 Example: Reducing a Repeated SMT Defect
📌 Defect: Tombstone (component lifting) on a specific 86″ mainboard
Observation (Q2 2024): Tombstone rate reached 0.8% on line #3, above the 0.3% target.
Data analysis: AOI logs showed the issue was concentrated on a specific component batch and reflow zone.
Actions: Adjusted pick‑and‑place pressure, optimised reflow temperature profile (reduced delta T), and changed solder paste formulation for that batch.
Result (Q3 2024): Tombstone DPPM dropped from 800 to 120 (‑85%). The new parameters were locked in MES and SOP.
4. Smart Warehousing: Faster Picking, Higher Accuracy
4.1 Warehouse Digitalization Scope
- Barcode/QR‑code based receiving
- Electronic inventory by material code, batch, supplier, date and quality status
- Location management and rack coding
- Scan‑based picking, return, replenishment and transfer
- FIFO / FEFO (first‑expired, first‑out) control
- Work‑order‑driven kitting lists
- Cycle counting and variance resolution
- Safety‑stock alerts for critical materials
4.2 Material Receipt and Status Control
- Receiving scans PO and material barcode – creates batch, quantity and temporary location.
- After IQC, system updates material status to approved, Üzvə, Yad rejected.
- Only approved materials become available for production kitting.
- Rejected materials are system‑locked to prevent accidental picking.

4.4 Preventing Wrong Material and Short Material Events
- Work order linked to BOM – system generates exact picking list.
- Warehouse scans barcode – system verifies material code against the order; wrong material triggers an alarm and blocks issue.
- Critical materials require double‑scan verification.
- Production stations scan material before use – records actual batch consumption.
- Automatic alerts for low stock or material shortages to planning and purchasing.
Measured improvement: Wrong‑pick / short‑pick rate dropped from 1.2% to 0.15% (‑87%) over 6 months.
4.5 Smart Warehouse Improvement Case
📦 Case: Reducing Emergency Material Requests
Before (Q1 2024): Frequent urgent material requests due to manual search errors and inaccurate inventory records – average 12 emergency calls per week.
Actions: Implemented WMS with location codes, barcode scanning, and daily cycle counts. Trained all warehouse staff on new workflows.
After (Q3 2024): Emergency requests dropped to 3 per week (‑75%). Inventory accuracy reached 99.8%. Audit evidence: WMS operation logs and cycle count reports.
5. MES: Making Production Execution Visible
5.1 MES Role on the Factory Floor
- Receives work orders from ERP and dispatches to lines
- Displays product model, quantity, version, routing and target delivery
- Records start/complete, exception, rework and scrap at each operation
- Binds operator, equipment, shift and line to each step
- Collects test, quality and repair data
- Provides real‑time output, yield, WIP and bottleneck visibility
5.2 Work‑Order Control
Each work order contains:
- Customer name / project code
- Product model and revision
- Order quantity and planned completion date
- BOM version
- Software version and preload list
- Packaging, label and branding requirements
- Routing and inspection criteria
- Special remarks (logo, interface, language, custom accessories)
5.3 Real‑Time Production Dashboard
- Today’s planned vs. actual output
- Line status (running / idle / changeover / down)
- Current yield and top‑5 defect types
- WIP (work‑in‑process) quantity
- Work order completion rate
- Current bottleneck station
- Units in aging / test
- Estimated completion time and delivery alerts
5.4 Decision‑Making Through Data
- If a line’s yield drops, production is paused and quality/engineering team is alerted.
- If material availability is low, the production sequence is adjusted.
- If a test station becomes a bottleneck, additional fixtures or shifts are arranged.
5.5 Example: Responding to a Production Bottleneck
⚙️ Case: Aging Station Bottleneck
Observation (Q2 2024): WIP accumulated before aging – assembly output exceeded aging capacity.
Data source: MES showed assembly completion rate 40 units/day; aging racks could only handle 32 units/day.
Actions: Added 8 aging racks (increasing capacity to 48 units/day) and adjusted scheduling to prioritise urgent orders.
Bunun: WIP turnover dropped from 4.5 days to 2.0 days; on‑time delivery improved from 94% to 99%.
6. Serial‑Level Traceability: From Finished Product Back to Components
6.1 Traceability Principle
Each finished interactive display is assigned a unique serial number (SN). Depending on the product configuration and project requirements, that SN can be linked to its production order, assembly line, shift, key material batches, software version, inspection data, aging record and shipment information.
Traceability is based on key component batches (panel, touch, PCBA, power supply) – not each individual chip, unless specifically required and contracted.

6.4 Traceability for Quality Incidents
- Customer reports an issue with a specific SN → system retrieves full production history.
- Check if the issue is concentrated on a particular panel batch, touch module, mainboard version, line or shift.
- Identify all potentially affected units (by component batch or date range).
- Implement targeted screening, rework or field upgrades.
- Feed root‑cause findings back to supplier, engineering, quality and after‑sales teams.
6.5 Traceability for Customer Audits
On‑site demonstration:
- Auditor randomly picks a finished unit SN from the production line or warehouse.
- Operator enters SN into MES traceability portal.
- System displays: order, model, production date, line, shift, key component batches, test results, aging log, FQC/OQC records and shipment details.
- Auditor can verify data consistency with physical records and witness the entire chain.
This demonstration is part of our standard factory audit route and can be performed on demand.

10. Case Study: From Manual Records to Digital Traceability
📊 Qtenboard Internal Transformation (2023–2024)
Starting point (Q1 2023): Production, warehouse and quality data were scattered across paper forms and Excel files. Material search relied on worker memory; order status updates were manual; quality issue investigations took days.
Actions:
- Deployed integrated ERP, WMS and MES across all production lines.
- Established barcode rules for raw materials, semi‑finished and finished goods.
- Connected work orders, BOM, process steps, test results and packaging records.
- Trained all warehouse, production and quality staff on new workflows.
- Set KPIs: inventory accuracy, picking accuracy, FPY, SN data completeness.
Measurable results (by Q4 2024):
- Average material search time: 15 min → 2 min (‑87%)
- Wrong‑pick / short‑pick rate: 1.2% → 0.15% (‑87%)
- Inventory accuracy: 92% → 99.8% (+7.8 p.p.)
- SN query completion time: several hours → less than 1 minute
- Production report lag: next‑day manual → real‑time dashboard
- Quality incident batch scope: entire order → exact SN / component batch
Audit value:
- Auditors can verify any unit’s history on‑the‑spot.
- Procurement teams trust our delivery and quality data.
- After‑sales teams rapidly isolate affected units during field issues.
- Quality improvement is data‑driven, not experience‑based.
11. Frequently Asked Questions
Can you trace a finished display back to its panel and touch module batches?
Yes. Each SN is linked to the batch numbers of the panel, touch module, PCBA, power supply and other key components. This is standard for all production.
How do you prevent wrong materials from being used on the production line?
WMS validates material codes against the work order BOM before issuing. Production stations also scan material barcodes; any mismatch triggers an immediate alert and blocks usage.
Is the MES data accessible to customers?
We provide periodic production reports and, upon request, can share sanitised traceability data for specific orders. Live system access is available during factory audits.
What happens if the MES/ERP system goes down?
We have automated daily backups and redundant servers. In the rare event of downtime, production can continue with a controlled paper‑based fallback; all records are reconciled and entered into the system within 24 hours.
How do you ensure data integrity and prevent unauthorised changes?
Role‑based access control, automatic audit logs for every action, and regular user permission reviews. Critical quality records cannot be deleted or modified without an approved change request.
