Introducing the GainSeeker Inspections module

You will use the GainSeeker Inspections module to customize data entry routines, which may include:

Inspections

Standalone data entry routines for collecting SPC data and DMS data via the PC Collect module (on PCs) and the GS Collect app (on iPads), with a similar interface on both devices. You can also use an inspection to note that a check or task was performed, even if no measurements or defects need to be stored.

For example, you might create an inspection for the hourly checks that inspectors currently perform on a certain type of product at a particular process.

You can easily customize these data entry routines using a basic builder interface, with no programming needed. However, some basic programming allows you to further customize and extend the functionality of these inspections by integrating Python™ scripts (for PCs) or LiveCode scripts (for iPads).

Planned
Inspections

A Planned Inspection overlays an Inspection with a different set of Part Numbers, Processes, Traceability, and/or display files (such as images and instructions).

This allows you to create one Inspection for a type of product, and then create multiple Planned Inspections that are based on that Inspection - each for a different part number.

Planned Inspection data entry is performed via the PC Collect module (on PCs) and the GS Collect app (on iPads).

Python scripts
(standalone)

These are Python™ scripts that can be used to enter data into GainSeeker - or perform other functions - without an Inspection.

Standalone Python scripts are typically executed on PCs via the PC Collect module or via GSConsole.

Launching this module

You can open the GainSeeker Inspections module from the:

You can also create a shortcut to launch any GainSeeker module from your desktop or Start menu.

These options will only be available if you log in as a User whose Role has Module Access rights to the GainSeeker Inspections module.
