Overview
Anyware Mobile Solutions was engaged by a nationwide manufacturer of gypsum board used in the construction of residential and commercial buildings. Their paper-based quality control forms and processes were causing lengthy delays and they needed a more efficient system to detect the problems.

Business Issues
Before Anyware’s involvement, the machine operator measured and recorded various points on gypsum board produced throughout the day using a caliper and a scale. The previous process involved two separate hand written forms that were filled out by the operators to record quality measurements. Data was often inaccurate and quality issues were not brought to the attention of management until several days later, creating the potential for days worth of product to be discarded.

Anyware Solution
Anyware provided a more robust and mobile quality control data collection system. Through our proven Solution Services Methodology, Anyware reengineered the business process and implemented enabling technology to provide real-time data collection and quality reporting. By enabling the operator to use mobile technology, they were able to reduce the amount of time spent recording data and errors were reduced dramatically. Management was able to view accurate quality reports and take immediate action based on that information, potentially saving days of wasted production.
