What is the DATASCOPE PREMIUM Quality Control all about?

DATASCOPE PREMIUM has a couple of ways to do Quality Checks and Control.

 DATASCOPE can manage stock codes with inspection requirements in three ways, provided the SKU is flagged as inspection required in SYSPRO:

1. Single-stage inspection – Here, the full quantity is received into SYSPRO inspection, and the full quantity passes inspection. The DATASCOPE TrackID remains ON HOLD until the quality module(s) release the stock, but the TrackID can still be moved into a storage location/bin in the warehouse.

2. Two-stage inspection – The full quantity is received into SYSPRO inspection and remains until the quality modules release the stock. Since the stock is not yet in stock in SYSPRO, it cannot be Bin transferred.

3.  Quality tests on stock code level - The larger quality module (this user guide) handles tests and criteria at a stock code level.

 Two additional Inbound Quality check functions are available for items flagged as inspection required. One is a simple pallet mass check where each new pallet of the affected stock code in receiving is in an ON HOLD status and then must be placed on a weigh station linked to DATASCOPE WMS to validate the mass. If the mass passes a simple percentage tolerance, the pallet becomes ACTIVE and can be moved into the warehouse.

The second check is a very simple quality release function. No QC testing is managed here. It is expected that the client has their own QC system and simply wants to move pallets from ON HOLD to ACTIVE when they are happy to release them. This can be fired from an e.net business object.

Why Implement a Quality Control module?

In highly regulated sectors, like Food, Chemical or Pharmaceutical industries, stringent quality standards and regulatory requirements govern the handling, storage, and distribution of goods. Implementing a robust Quality Control module allows the warehouse to systematically track and manage product quality throughout the supply chain, from receipt to dispatch. This includes real-time monitoring of environmental conditions, expiration dates, and batch numbers. By integrating quality checks into the WMS, the warehouse can proactively identify and address issues, such as contamination or damage, mitigating the risk of distributing substandard or non-compliant products. This not only safeguards consumer health but also upholds the company's reputation and ensures adherence to industry-specific regulations, ultimately contributing to the overall efficiency and reliability of the supply chain.

Examples of possible tests and test categories:

Microbiological Testing

Checking for the presence of microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast, and Mold.

Allergen Testing

Verifying the absence of allergens in the products to prevent allergic reactions.

Labeling Compliance

Confirming that product labels comply with regulatory requirements and accurately reflect contents.

Module Licensing

The Quality Control (QC) module is a separate Module within the product. It must be licensed separately when purchasing the product.

User interface

Once licensed and activated, the QC module is visible on the Main Menu under Quality Control It consists of the following screens:

• Quality Data Setup

• Quality Test

• Quality Test Concession

• Reprinting

• Inventory On-Hold Maintenance

Quality Data Setup

The Quality Test Setup section is where Quality tests are created and configured. This section is broken down in the following screens:
