When designing the software, consistent attention was paid to practicality and suitability for use. The development goal was a seamless integration into existing testing processes. For this reason, the system is structured around the two roles: test planner, who manages the test orders, and inspector, who wants to perform inspections as simply and efficiently as possible.
The role concept results in a two-part software:
- The WORKPLACE for the test planner, for the creation and management of test orders.
- The auditor APP, for the efficient execution of inspections by the auditor.
This system split supports the practical use on the shopfloor. For example, with the help of the WORKPLACE, inspection orders can be managed from a central computer, while the inspector APP can be used at the assembly workstation. In smaller production units that do not require spatial separation of the two roles, WORKPLACE and APP can be operated on the same computer at the test workstation.
