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 goal was to manage test data in a digital and traceable manner.

Need / Problem

Manual logging and limited product-level traceability

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

  • 01Manual Excel ProcessingManual test data handling increased operational effort and slowed throughput.
  • 02Entry Error RiskManual input increased the chance of quality and reliability issues.
  • 03Limited Product MatchingReliable product-to-result traceability was difficult without automatic matching.
Solution

Automatic test data capture with serial-number association

By integrating test devices, electrical and gas leakage data was captured automatically. Product serial numbers were read at the station and test results were linked to the correct unit.

01

Product Arrival at Station

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

02

Automatic Device Data Capture

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

03

Serial Number Association

Captured test outputs are linked to the scanned product serial number.

04

Central Recording and Visibility

Data is stored in OnSuite Trace and made 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 test equipment that automatically generates electrical and gas leakage results.

IDENTIFICATION

Barcode Scanners

Read product serial numbers at station entry to trigger accurate matching.

AUTOMATION

PLC Integration

Coordinates station workflow and data flow between devices and software.

MANAGEMENT

OnSuite Trace

Central platform for end-to-end traceability and process management.

Integrations

Integrated test-station, Global MES, and traceability flow

The system operates integrated with Candy Hoover's Global MES. Test data is matched with product serial numbers and centrally managed on OnSuite Trace.

Device-to-Product AssociationTest device outputs are linked to scanned serial numbers and stored in the correct product record.
Global MES IntegrationCollected data is synchronized with Candy Hoover's Global MES for centralized visibility.
Benefits / Results

Automated data capture and reliable product-level test traceability

Manual Work Eliminated

Manual Excel processing was removed and test data collection became automated.

Reduced Errors and Time Loss

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

Improved Traceability and Reporting

Automatic serial-number matching improved product-level traceability and reporting reliability.
