Spend less time on CAPA paperwork, more on root causes.

Quality inspection & corrective action agent

Quality engineers dig through inspection reports and old records to write each corrective action. An agent organizes inspection records, identifies similar defects, retrieves relevant historical incidents, and drafts corrective action reports for quality engineer approval.

The business challenge

Quality teams manually review inspection reports, nonconformance records, and historical production data to investigate defects and prepare corrective actions.

  • Searching spreadsheets and folders for similar past defects
  • Writing 8D or CAPA reports from scratch
  • Recurring issues hidden across disconnected records
  • Engineers' time absorbed by administration

How the AI agent works

An agent organizes inspection records, identifies similar defects, retrieves relevant historical incidents, and drafts corrective action reports for quality engineer approval.

  1. 01

    Nonconformance logged

    An inspection result or NCR is recorded.

  2. 02

    Records classified

    The defect is categorized and linked to part, process, and lot.

  3. 03

    Similar incidents found

    Historical defects and past corrective actions are retrieved with sources.

  4. 04

    Engineer approves

    The quality engineer edits and approves the drafted CAPA/8D.

    Human approval

  5. 05

    Report filed

    The approved report is stored and tracked on the dashboard.

40–60% reduction in corrective action administration time

Illustrative pilot target. Actual results depend on your workflow and will be established during discovery.

How we would measure it

During discovery we'd record your current baseline for each measure, then track it through the pilot.

  • Time to draft a corrective action
  • Open CAPA cycle time
  • Repeat defects identified

Systems & integrations

Typical categories of systems this kind of agent connects to. Which specific products can be connected is confirmed during discovery, based on what you use and what access it allows.

  • Quality management systems
  • ERP/MES
  • Spreadsheets
