Why Quality Assurance Managers & Production Engineers Choose SnapCount

Purpose-built features for manufacturing defect tracking professionals

Instant Root Cause Trigger

See defect spikes immediately upon entry, enabling engineers to pause the line or troubleshoot tooling *before* a full batch is compromised, drastically cutting rework costs.

Accurate Scrap Rate Calculation

Eliminate transcription errors that inflate or hide true defect numbers, ensuring precise cost of quality metrics required for ISO compliance and management review.

Audit-Ready Data Log

Every count, time stamp, and user is automatically logged and synced, providing an irrefutable, digital audit trail for faster compliance reporting and deviation tracking.

The Problem & The Solution

The Costly Delay of Whiteboards and Clipboards

You shouldn't need a shift change to understand your Defect Density. Relying on grease pens and clipboards means your QA technicians are logging non-conformances—Dents, Scratches, Misalignments—that only get tallied hours later. By the time the data is digitized, the shift is over, the lot is moved, and critical time for Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is lost.

The worst part is the data drift. Operators are tracking rework counts on a shared whiteboard, but when someone accidentally wipes off a quadrant or transcribes a 7 as a 1, your Scrap Rate spikes based on bad data. This manual reconciliation process introduces errors that hide the true cost of quality and slow down your First Pass Yield (FPY) improvements.

⚠️Stop relying on whiteboards and manual logs and manual counting methods.

SnapCount: Instant Visibility for Quality Control

SnapCount turns every QA technician's device into a connected, real-time counter. As soon as a deviation is logged—whether it's a cosmetic flaw or a critical failure—the count updates instantly across the entire dashboard. No more waiting for manual reconciliation. Management sees the rising trend in 'Misalignments' on Lot #456 immediately, allowing for proactive line adjustments, not reactive post-mortems.

This multiplayer capability ensures data integrity and accelerates your quality loop. Multiple inspectors can simultaneously track different defect types (e.g., Inspector A tracking 'Paint Defects,' Inspector B tracking 'Assembly Errors') on the same shared counter. When the shift ends, the final, validated count is ready for reporting, ensuring your Scrap Rate calculations are accurate, auditable, and timely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about using SnapCount for manufacturing defect tracking

How does SnapCount handle different defect categories?

We support unlimited, customizable counters on one dashboard. You can track 'Misalignment' and 'Surface Scratch' simultaneously, ensuring granular data for precise FPY analysis without needing separate sheets.

Can multiple QA inspectors count defects on the same lot simultaneously?

Yes, this is the core value. Because the counts update in milliseconds, multiple inspectors can hit the button at the same time, and the system instantly registers and displays the unified total, eliminating double-counting issues inherent in manual logging.

How does this integrate with our existing MES or ERP system?

All count data is exportable instantly via CSV, or accessible through our robust API, allowing seamless integration into your existing Manufacturing Execution System (MES) or ERP for deeper trend analysis and automated reporting.

What happens if a count is accidentally entered?

SnapCount maintains a complete audit trail. Users can subtract counts if mistakes are made, and the system logs the adjustment, the user who made it, and the timestamp, ensuring data integrity and an irrefutable audit log for Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs).
