Defect Map is an advanced attribute module of SPC Vision which allows you to easily record and analyse all aspects of visual, surface and attribute inspection. It provides key information to help you control the manufacturing process and focus your improvement ef forts. Why is Defect Map Needed? Products containing critical surface or cosmetic features are notoriously difficult to manufacture to consistently high quality standards. This is partly due to the large number of potential defect causes but also to the way in which the inspection data is collected, managed and analysed. The combination of the inspection process being very subjective and normally only pass/fail data recorded means it is very difficult to control the process and even harder to improve it. How Can Defect Map Help? By recording information such as defect type, location, severity and size, defect map lets you clearly see the problematic areas, whether a particular defect is getting better or worse and also whether defects are becoming more severe. This allows you to control the process and focus your improvement efforts. Key Features & Benefits • Electronic ‘measles’ chart • Records defect type, size, location & severity • Real Time validation & analysis Typical Applications • Non Destructive Testing • Composite Surface Inspection • Any products with critical cosmetic features

5 Steps to Focus your Process Improvement Defect Map analysis is extremely visual and intuitive with only a few clicks to provide all the information needed to quickly identify, manage and resolve quality problems. 1. Reject Overview Monitor the total number of defects, the general trend and the location where the defects are occuring. 2. Trend for Each Defect The next step is to analyse the trend for each of the individual defects. 3. Focus your Efforts Attack the issues which are going to give you the biggest improvement. Pareto charts will clearly show you which defects are causing the most...
