Tracking as-built status
When a product leaves the factory, you want to know what is actually in it. Not what was designed, but what was built. Which parts, which versions, which adjustments. As-built documentation software captures that, per order, per serial number, per step.
Document what you're building
"What is actually in the product?"
In many manufacturing companies, as-built documentation is kept in Excel, on paper, or not at all. Operators make an adjustment during assembly, an alternative part is used, a step is skipped: it is rarely recorded. And when a service technician shows up at the customer months later, or a certification audit arrives, the searching begins. Which version was in it? Who changed what? The as-built no longer matches the as-designed. That costs time, leads to errors in maintenance, and makes warranty claims impossible to substantiate. While the information was simply there on the shop floor, just never recorded.
With Baseboard, operators record deviations, alternative parts, and adjustments directly in the work instruction, at the moment it happens. Per serial number, Baseboard builds a complete as-built file: which parts were used, which version, which process step, and by whom. This way, the link with your quality checks is always in place. A service technician knows exactly what is in the product. An auditor has the record immediately available. Engineering sees which design adjustments recur structurally on the shop floor.
Through the link with your engineering data, the as-built can always be traced back to the correct revision. Which MBOM belonged to this production order? Which work instruction was followed, and were quality checks carried out? Everything is traceable, without searching through folders or mailboxes. This speeds up troubleshooting, makes warranty claims substantiable, and directly supports certification processes.
