Quality & compliance documentation · Electronics & PCB assembly
Ship complete documentation with every build.
A customer wants a first-article report against IPC-A-610 Class 3. The quality engineer stitches it from AOI logs, ICT results, and CoCs scattered across the MES.
The reality
Compliance is a documentation problem.
A build is done but can't ship until the quality package is complete: the first-article inspection report, the IPC-A-610 acceptance class, AOI and ICT test data, the certificate of conformance, and any customer-specific source-inspection forms — pulled from the MES, the test stations, and a pile of supplier CoCs, then formatted to the customer's template.
The operator owns the quality submission. It compiles the FAI and test reports from the build record, applies the right IPC class, assembles the CoC and customer source-inspection forms, checks for missing data before it becomes a hold, and submits the package in the format the customer requires — so shipments leave with complete, accurate documentation.
How the operator runs quality & compliance documentation
Lot 5512 · Build record
compiling- AOI + ICT results pulled
- Solder inspection logged
- Supplier CoCs — one missing, requested
01Pull the build record
Gathers AOI, ICT, and solder-inspection data plus supplier CoCs from the MES and test stations.
Lot 5512 · FAI
assembling- FAIR populated from build data
- IPC-A-610 Class 3 applied
- CoC drafted — pending CoC gap
02Build the FAI package
Compiles the first-article report, applies the IPC-A-610 acceptance class, and assembles the CoC.
Lot 5512 · Submission
submitting- Template completeness checked
- Customer source-inspection forms attached
- Package submitted to portal
03Validate and submit
Checks for missing data against the customer template, then submits the package in the required format.
The outcome
60% less documentation prep time per build
Shipments leave with complete, accurate documentation.
- Missing test data or CoCs caught before they become a shipment hold
- The correct IPC acceptance class applied to every submission
- Packages land in the customer's required format on the first pass
