The Data Collect module is used to enter and track quality concerns (and repair data). Data Collect can be run on a handheld data collection device or on a stationary PC workstation. Handheld devices are useful for roving data collection, whereas stationary workstations are used at fixed data inspection locations. In either case, operators can enter quality concerns for a part (including the type and the severity of concern) and then evaluate the concern and assign it for repair.
Data Collect uses touch-screen technology to input data. On a handheld device the operator can use a pen to "touch" the screen for entering quality concerns. If using a stationary PC with touch screen capability, the operator can either touch the screen or use a mouse to enter defect data.
In this tutorial you will use all the main features of Data Collect. Using a bicycle manufacturing plant as an example you will enter defects on a production line for ATS Bikes. You will also see how you can adjust the basic functionality of the Data Collect interface using Inspect Admin.
This tutorial assumes that the Admin and Layout Manager tutorials have already been completed.
