Integrated Drawing and Quality Management: Belinker Cloud’s Strategy for Manufacturing Efficiency

1. Background – Challenges in Defect Analysis and Information Disconnection

H Company is a manufacturer of semiconductor equipment and industrial machinery components, with its quality department managing dozens of inspection records daily.

In the previous system, quality inspection records were stored as separate documents, disconnected from the corresponding engineering drawings. As a result, tracing the historical inspection standards and records for a defective part took an average of two to three days.

Key issues identified at H Company included:

• Quality data stored separately from drawings, making it cumbersome to review inspection standards and revision histories

• The need for separate data exchanges between production and design departments to analyze defect causes

• Significant time required to search for past cases of similar defects

2. Unifying Quality Data and Drawings with Belinker Cloud Services

(1) Recording Inspection Standards and Results by Drawing
Each drawing stored in Belinker Cloud is linked with inspection standards, tolerance information, and special notes.

• Inspectors can view drawings and inspection standards simultaneously on mobile devices or tablets, enabling a paperless workflow.

• Inspection results can be recorded instantly, with photos or documents attached.

(2) Building a Defect History Database
All defect cases are recorded as part of each drawing’s defect history, including:

• Defect type (dimensional deviation, surface defect, material defect, etc.)

• Date, process, and responsible person

• Root cause analysis and corrective actions

• Recurrence prevention measures

(3) Real-Time Cross-Department Sharing
Defect histories and inspection results recorded by the quality department are immediately shared with production and design teams.

• The production team can review machining conditions and adjust settings

• The design team can determine whether drawing modifications are necessary

3. Practical Usage Scenario

Before Inspection

• The inspector accesses the part drawing and inspection standards on a tablet

• Updated tolerances and inspection criteria are automatically reflected in the QC process

During Inspection

• Upon discovering a defect, the inspector immediately attaches a photo and details to the cloud record

• Defect type and measurement deviations are entered as structured data

After Inspection

• Results are automatically saved

• When reproducing the same part, past defect histories and corrective actions are instantly accessible

5. Additional Benefits for Quality Departments – Extended Case Studies

1. Faster Response to Customer Claims

• Situation: An overseas customer reported a dimensional defect in a delivered part. Locating related drawings, inspection results, and process conditions previously took 2–3 days.

• Solution: Search by lot number or drawing name in Belinker Cloud to instantly access inspection standards, measurement records, defect rates, and improvement history.

• Result: Claim response report preparation reduced from 1.5 days to 3 hours, maintaining customer trust.

2. Systematic Supplier Quality Evaluation

• Situation: Orders for the same part were placed with three subcontractors (A, B, C), but quality varied greatly.

• Solution: Record inspection results, defect types, and on-time delivery rates by supplier in Belinker Cloud.

• Result: Priority given to high-scoring suppliers, reducing defect rates in future orders.

3. Immediate Submission for Certification and Audits

• Situation: During ISO 9001 audits, submission of inspection records and revision histories required manual file server and paper document searches.

• Solution: Search for the part in Belinker Cloud and download all revision histories, inspection results, and corrective actions as a PDF instantly.

• Result: Preparation time reduced from 1 day to less than 1 hour.

4. Eliminating Repetitive Defect Causes

• Situation: The same dimensional defect recurred every three months for a specific part.

• Solution: Review defect history in Belinker Cloud, confirming identical root causes in three past instances (machining condition mismatches).

• Result: Standardized machining conditions and added design notes, achieving a 0% recurrence rate.

5. Training and Knowledge Transfer

• Situation: New inspectors took longer to understand recurring defect types without direct on-site experience.

• Solution: Attach past defect cases with images and videos to drawings for training purposes.

• Result: Reduced training period for new inspectors by 30% and decreased initial inspection errors.

6. Cost Reduction

• Situation: High defect rates in post-processing (plating, painting) increased rework costs.

• Solution: Analyze post-processing defect data in Belinker Cloud, identifying one supplier with a defect rate three times higher than others.

• Result: Supplier replacement reduced defect rates, cutting annual rework costs by 20%.

6. Conclusion

The introduction of Belinker Cloud transformed the quality department from a reactive, post-issue unit into a proactive hub for preventive measures and data-driven decision-making.

By reducing defect rates, speeding up root cause analysis, and establishing real-time cross-departmental information sharing, quality teams are now directly contributing to strengthening corporate competitiveness.
