VisionQMS been awarded a grant by SMARTCymru to continue developing its production environment application, VisionTouch.
SMARTCymru support Welsh businesses with the development, implementation and commercialisation of new products, processes and services. Its aim is to drive sustainable growth by co-investing in business research, development and innovation.
VisionQMS’s funding from SMARTCymru will be used for the development of VisionTouch Always-On, a new online / offline module designed for use in factories or similar environments where network connectivity is intermittent or absent. The continued development of its VisionTouch’s on-premise or cloud-based functionality will allow it to be used in a wider range of production environments and industries.
VisionTouch is a mobile application used by operators to capture data within the production environment ensuring adherence to specification, traceability, quality control (QC), food safety compliance and health and safety compliance. It has already been rolled out in several factories, significantly improving both safety and compliance.
The application integrates with ERP systems to streamline a number of processes, from automatically scheduling internal audit technical checks to generating goods-in jobs from purchase orders.
On the factory floor, VisionTouch can be used across handheld tablets and fixed touchscreen terminals at lineside making it convenient for operators. From a user perspective, the application is intuitive and easy to use guaranteeing successful adoption.
"This new development will further remove the need for paper trails and allow for total electronic traceability and transparency." - Alan Clarke, Vision QMS Director
