Qi Screen
Professional Human Quality Inspection
Turn human inspection into clean quality data and clearly defined problems.
Qi Screen professionalizes visual, sensory and judgement-based quality inspection on the factory floor. Inspectors capture what they actually see in a structured digital environment—creating cleaner data, clearer problems and stronger inputs for quality improvement.

The human inspection gap
Experienced people see the problem. The system often fails to capture what they know.
Visual and sensory inspection still depends on human judgement in many manufacturing processes. The loss happens when observations become check marks, handwritten notes, vague defect names or disconnected spreadsheets.
Observations become vague
“Bad part,” “noise,” “scratch” or “leak” may identify a concern without defining the condition well enough to act on it.
Data becomes cluttered
Free text, inconsistent categories and disconnected forms make comparison and prioritization harder than the inspection itself.
Problem solving starts weak
When the Define and Measure inputs are poor, teams spend valuable time recreating information that should have been captured at the source.
Professional human quality inspection
Keep human judgement. Add digital discipline.
Qi Screen creates a controlled inspection environment that makes quality observations faster to enter, easier to understand and significantly more useful after the inspection is complete.
Collect clean data
Use visual locations, defined defect categories and focused context instead of long forms and uncontrolled descriptions.
Clarify the problem
Capture enough context to transform a broad observation into a manufacturing problem that engineers can understand.
Build reliable evidence
Create organized inspection data for containment, focused studies and the Measure phase of structured problem solving.
Designed around how inspectors work
Capture the condition where the person actually sees it.
Qi Screen keeps data entry close to the physical condition. Inspectors can identify the area, classify the defect and add the context that matters without navigating a cluttered quality form.
The objective is not to collect more information. It is to collect the right information in a repeatable way.

Problem definition
A defect name is not a problem definition.
Good quality data preserves enough specificity for the next person to understand what actually happened. Qi Screen helps capture that definition at the point of observation instead of reconstructing it days later.
“Water leak.”
A real concern, but too broad to define the manufacturing condition, location or pattern.

Leak observed at a defined interior location, on a defined product group, under a defined condition.
The issue now carries the context needed for containment, measurement and focused problem solving—without forcing the inspector to write an essay.
From observation to usable intelligence
Professional data collection before analysis begins.
Human judgement
The inspector sees, feels, hears or otherwise identifies a quality condition that requires human interpretation.
Digital capture
The observation is recorded against defined locations, conditions and defect categories with only the context that matters.
Problem clarity
The data describes a more precise problem instead of leaving the next team to interpret a generic defect label.
Quality evidence
Organized records become useful for prioritization, containment, repair analysis and structured problem solving.
Where human inspection matters
One disciplined approach across different quality applications.
Inline & offline inspection
Structured human checks at stations, inspection points or dedicated offline quality areas.
Visual, tactile & sensory checks
Capture appearance, feel, sound and other conditions where experienced human judgement remains essential.
Repair intelligence
Understand what is actually being repaired, where it is found and which conditions consume repeated repair effort.
Material sorting & containment
Organize inspection during sorting, containment or incoming-quality activity so disposition data remains useful afterward.
Focused data studies
Collect clean temporary data for DMAIC, PDCA or other structured problem-solving methods without creating a permanent manual process.
Human quality observations
Use disciplined capture wherever the value comes from what a trained person observes rather than from an automated sensor.

Better inputs for problem solving
Define clearly. Measure reliably. Then solve.
Qi Screen can serve as the structured data-collection layer during a quality investigation. Teams establish a cleaner baseline, understand concentration and preserve frontline observations before moving deeper into analysis.
Temporary by design
Set up focused collection for a specific issue, trial or containment without turning it into permanent administrative work.
Comparable evidence
Standardized inputs make shifts, products, locations and periods easier to compare.
Repair & sorting intelligence
Capture what the quality system usually loses after the part leaves the station.
Understand the work behind the repair number.
A repair count says little about what failed, where it was found or what repair activity was required. Qi Screen structures those findings so recurring repair demand becomes visible and usable.
