Tracking as-built status
Keeping accurate records of a product's as-built status is essential. Not just to know which machine you are delivering, but also to comply with certification requirements.
Recording what you build
‘What's really inside the machine?’
The as-built status often remains an afterthought, with changes made during assembly not being systematically recorded. Operators make adjustments, use alternative parts or change procedures, but these deviations from the original design are rarely or never documented. Without real-time documentation and automatic tracking, discrepancies arise between what was designed and what was actually built, causing problems with maintenance, warranty claims and compliance audits.
With Baseboard, you always know what you have built and according to which process. Operators can immediately report deviations, suggest alternative parts and record procedural changes. The system keeps track of which specific parts, versions and procedures have been used for each product. This makes differences between design and reality immediately visible, ensuring that the as-built information is always up to date and accurate.
The system creates a digital twin of every product manufactured, with full traceability of all materials and processes used. This detailed as-built database speeds up troubleshooting, simplifies recalls and improves service activities. In addition, engineering teams can see which design modifications occur frequently in practice, leading to better designs and more realistic specifications for future products.
