Avoid bruises during the quality control process of brand tag-A

In the Brand Tag to avoid bruises in the quality inspection process, need to operate from the personnel specification, equipment and tools optimization, environmental management, process design and packaging protection and other multi-dimensional start, build a systematic protection system. The following are specific measures:

First, brand tag personnel operating standards and training

Standardized Operating Procedures

The development of detailed manual quality control steps, clear label pickup, detection, placement of standardized actions, such as requiring quality inspectors to use fingertips to gently pinch the edge of the brand tag, to avoid large finger contact with the surface of the brand tag

Example: Quality inspectors should wear cotton gloves for easily scratched metal/mirror material labels, in addition Operators should maintain a 30° angle of inclination between the label and the worktable to reduce friction.”.

Brand tag skills training and Assessment

Conduct regular training on quality control operations, focusing on drills that are easy to bruise ( when flipping labels, inspecting the reverse side), and assessing the accuracy of employees’ techniques through mock exams.

Data: After the implementation of training in a factory, the rate of bruises caused by improper operation dropped from 1.2% to 0.3%.

Ergonomic Optimization

Adjust the height of the QC table to the natural drooping position of the elbow, avoiding the QC staff from bending over or overextending their arms, and reducing the deformation of movements caused by fatigue.

Example: Adopting a liftable QC table with a cushioned seat to reduce the impact of long-time operation on the stability of movement.

Second, brand tag equipment and tools optimization

Specialized quality control fixture

Design of customized fixtures, such as label positioning slots with silicone pads, or vacuum adsorption devices to achieve zero-contact fixation of labels.

Case: a luxury brand with pneumatic adsorption fixture, so that the label surface contact area reduced by 90%, bruising rate decreased by 85%.

Automated Inspection Equipment

The introduction of visual inspection system instead of manual visual inspection, through high-speed cameras and algorithms to identify label defects, to avoid physical contact.

Advantage: After the application of AOI in an electronic labeling factory, the inspection efficiency is increased by 4 times and the bruise rate is close to zero.

Tool material upgrade

The quality inspection table surface is changed to anti-static silicone mat, the hardness is controlled between Shore A 40-60, balancing anti-slip and cushioning.

Tool selection: use tweezers with rounded corners (head diameter ≥3mm) or electrostatic pens to avoid sharp tools scratching labels.
