Data Collect is used to enter and track quality concerns and repair data. It can be run on a portable device, such as a tablet, or on a stationary PC. Portable 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 assign it for repair.
