Optimise your incoming inspection
Control and improve batch quality in accordance with ISO standards (ISO 2859, ISO 3951 or others) using the IQC module
Reduce your controls
Thanks to Ellistat's IQC (Incoming Quality Control) module, you can automate your incoming inspection. Incoming inspection allows the acceptance or rejection of a batch of parts presented by an internal or external supplier. It is also known as incoming inspection or sampling inspection and final or release inspection.
However, there is no question of controlling the entire production run, so a sample is taken and ISO standards (ISO 2859, ISO 3951 or other) are used to guarantee an acceptable level of quality, which depends on the size of the batch, the level of control and the AQL.
Our assets
Connection to measuring instruments :
- Automatically import measurement data into Ellistat using any communication protocol (USB, Bluetooth, RS232, .txt files, etc.) to avoid manual data entry errors.
Using progressive control and dynamisation rules :
- To minimise the number of parts to be measured while guaranteeing the same level of quality
Management by type
characteristic :
- To enable better monitoring of supplier quality
How does it work?
A plug&play solution! Connect your measuring equipment directly to the IQC module in any connection mode (Bluetooth, USB, RS232, CMM, etc.) and automatically record all your checks.
Define upstream lot acceptance criteria (sampling plan, type of inspection, etc.) and draw up the list of suppliers.
Depending on the history of the checks carried out on the batch, the IQC module will determine whether the checks need to be reduced or increased - this is known as dynamisation.
We've thought of everything to make your life easier!

Our IQC methodology:
à la carte support!
1. Diagnosis: Understanding the process: Before implementing the IQC module, it is essential to understand the production process as a whole.
2. Creating standards in a range: Setting up the software and training administrators to use the IQC module
3. Data transfer: Automated import of customer data into Ellistat.
4. User training: A reminder of the basic concepts of sampling.
5. Production start-up : Setting up field routines
Your feedback
We've been using Ellistat every day for 2 years. The tool has enabled us to reduce our set-up times significantly and improve the quality of our parts. Machine set-up is easier and it's simple to use.
Ellistat is a production tool that perfectly meets the expectations of Industry 4.0. Automated Process Control makes it easy to control the numerical controls, while guaranteeing a very high level of quality.
The ergonomics and ease of use of the "Control by sampling" module enabled us to implement the solution in our "Quality" department in just a few months. Thanks to Ellistat IQC, we have made a significant leap forward. We have gone from operating entirely on paper to the solution proposed by Davy and his team. We now have a computerised history of our controls. The data exported by our measuring equipment is directly integrated into our inspection protocols, which are automatically adapted - in terms of severity - according to the history of our measurements.
