Digital and traceable test data management

In this project implemented at Candy Hoover's cooker appliance factory in Eskisehir, test data generated on the production line was automatically collected and associated with each product.

The objective was to manage test data in a digital and fully traceable way.

Need / Problem

Manual logging, error risk, and limited traceability

Electrical and gas leakage test data was manually entered into Excel. This caused time loss, increased data entry errors, and made reliable product-level traceability difficult.

  • 01Manual Excel EntryManually processing test data created operational load and slowed down the workflow.
  • 02Data Entry ErrorsManual inputs increased the risk of quality and reliability issues.
  • 03Weak Product-Level TrackingWithout robust product-result matching, traceability remained limited.
Solution

Automatic test data capture and serial-number matching

By integrating test devices, electrical and gas leakage data was captured automatically and linked to the correct product via serial number reading.

01

Product Arrives at Station

When a product reaches the test station, its serial number is read by barcode scanner.

02

Automatic Device Data Capture

Results are automatically collected from electrical and gas leakage test devices.

03

Serial Number Matching

Captured test data is matched to the read product serial number.

04

Central Recording and Monitoring

Data is recorded in OnSuite Trace and becomes available for monitoring and reporting.

Technology / Equipment Used

Test devices, barcode scanners, PLC, and OnSuite Trace

TEST

Electrical and Gas Leakage Test Devices

Shop-floor equipment producing electrical and gas leakage test results automatically.

IDENTIFICATION

Barcode Scanners

Read product serial numbers at station entry to trigger correct data matching.

AUTOMATION

PLC Integration

Coordinates station flow and manages data exchange between devices and software.

MANAGEMENT

OnSuite Trace

Central platform for traceability operations and process visibility.

Integrations

Integrated flow across test stations, MES, and traceability platform

The system combines test station outputs with product serial numbers and works integrated with Candy Hoover's Global MES System and OnSuite Trace.

Device-to-Product MatchingDevice results are matched with scanned serial numbers and saved to the correct product record.
Global MES IntegrationCollected data is synchronized with Candy Hoover's Global MES to support centralized visibility.
Benefits / Results

Eliminated manual work and improved test traceability

Automated Data Collection

Manual Excel entry was removed and test data collection became fully automated.

Reduced Errors and Time Loss

Data entry errors and time losses caused by manual operations were significantly reduced.

Product-Level Traceability

Automatic serial-number matching improved traceability and reporting reliability.
