How to Get Started with This Solution
What is fabrication tracking?
Fabrication is the name for the process of constructing an item with different parts, using a range of processes and materials.
Managing and tracking components effectively is a critical part of the fabrication process, to ensure that all parts are ready and available for construction. Accurate tracking prevents downtime, loss of items and improves product quality.
How can Orca Scan's fabrication tracking software help?
We’ve created a flexible fabrication tracking solution that integrates into your existing workflow and simplifies tracking these parts. With Orca Scan, you can:
- Track a wide range of parts using existing barcodes, or generate and print your own
- Create alerts to be notified of quality assurance results at each stage, with signature and photo options available
- Automate quality assurance processes for consistent standards
- Have a system that is compatible with your current smartphones and scanners
- Access your data from any web browser or smartphone, and extend that accessibility to include last mile tracking
- Ensure data is securely stored and accessible in the cloud
- Share data across multiple sites and locations
- Complete the supply chain with last mile tracking capabilities for finished products
- Fully customise the solution to meet your needs
How do I set up Orca Scan to start tracking fabrication?
To use the Orca Scan Fabrication solution, you need to:
- Download the Orca Scan barcode app
- Create a new sheet with the Fabrication Tracking Template
- Scan existing barcodes or create and print new ones
- Add fields to capture additional information (if needed)
- Save the changes
With Orca Scan, your team members can update and track the progress of parts through all different stages of your workflow.
How do I customise Orca Scan for my fabrication process?
Our fabrication tracking software is fully customisable, so you can tailor it to track additional details for your specific fabrication process, including material type, dimensions, supplier information, tracking numbers and more.
To do this, simply add a new field to your sheet, select the appropriate data type and hit save. You can repeat these steps as many times as needed to capture every piece of data for each scan.
You can also use triggers to build out bespoke workflows. For example, you can use the trigger conditions below to be notified when your quality assurance tests pass or fail.
Does Orca Scan support multi-site fabrication tracking?
Yes. To track and manage components across multiple fabrication sites, all you need to do is:
- Create a sheet using the Fabrication Tracking Template
- Add fields to capture additional information (if needed)
- Duplicate the sheet, one for each location
- Add the relevant users to the correct sheets
- Create a view for full visibility of the fabrication processes across all sites into one sheet
What if fabrication components don't have barcodes?
For components that do not have a barcode, you can design, generate and print barcode labels from the Orca Scan web app.
In some cases, it’s unnecessary to add a barcode to each component. If this sounds like you, just reach out to our team and we’d be happy to help explore alternatives.
Does Orca Scan provide a complete fabrication audit trail?
Yes. Orca Scan gives complete visibility into your fabrication process with our history log. Track every change in detail, including what was modified and by whom.
